Mind Map

How does Christianity compare to other worldviews?  We can tell by taking a look at their primary assumptions, and what is their final authority (in Christianity, it's the Bible):

These primary assumptions, and who you say Jesus Christ is . . . This is the most important information you will look at, and the most important decision that you will make, in your life.

Question: I know the New King James is said to be a "revision of the King James." But were the Greek and Hebrew texts for the New King James the same as they were for the King James? . . . http://chick.com/ask/articles/nkjvtext.asp

Any deviation from Biblical Christianity is called Idolatry - It is sin, and rebellion to God.  For example:

Genius - The Movie . . . http://youtu.be/o7pe3_VQbUM

28:54 A cross dresser says it's ok - This is called idolatry.  It's where we shape a god to suit ourselves, to suit our sins.  You "believe" in God, but you don't obey Him.  You're not living in holiness.  You're playing the hypocrite, gambling with your life.  Get right with God today.

30:38 An atheist once said that John Lennon's "Imagine" is an anthem for atheism.

One of the great things about Christianity is that we have the Word of God.  We no longer have to live in darkness - we can know what is right, and what is wrong - We can see where we deviate, we can see where we are - The less we deviate, the closer we get to God.

Ro 1:18-32 . . . The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.  For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.  For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.  Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.  Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.  They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the  Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.  Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.  Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.  They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

What are the precepts of Communism?:  anti-God, anti-country, anti-family . . . so they can control you - it's a dictatorship

Think:  Communist hand in the Atheist glove

Think:  Communist hand in the Feminist glove

Think:  Communist hand in the Gay glove

Supposedly, the purpose is to destroy Western Civilization (heterosexual, Christian, God, country, family, Constitution, Bill of Rights, freedom), and to create their ideal, utopia of a "classless society."

Stalin said, "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs" . . . so you will see death and sadness as "equality" is enforced - Who's ultimately behind this?  The AC.

Communism riles people up by "class" to get them to fight with each other:  blacks, whites, women, gays, theologies . . . they create chaos . . . while everyone is at each other's throats, they're no threat to the ruling elite, no one focuses on them, and they do what they want.

The reality of Communism is that it's a two-class system of the super rich, and the super poor . . . The story is that it has to be like this until the revolution - the people need guidance.  What they don't tell you is that it will be like this for a *long* time - and that it's a dictatorship.  You don't learn about this until you're in a Phd level philosophy class.

Example of how the Hegelian Dialectic works . . . . . . . Crisis, Anti-Thesis, Synthesis . . . . . . . make up a problem with generalized words, like . . . . . . . *all* . . . "fill in the blank" . . . are biggots, homo-phobes, rapists, racists, misogynists . . . . . . . and then, propose the solution, which you have prepared in advance.

The Illuminati / Communists / Devil . . . seeks to destroy the "pattern" that God has said to do.

The word "pattern" occurs 14 times in 13 verses in the KJV (discuss which verse applies, that says to do the family)

http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=pattern&t=KJV

For example:

1.)  with Feminism . . . Where are men and women supposed to go, who want to do the pattern of the god-fearing, heterosexual patriarchal family?

2.)  Marilyn Manson said he seeks to destroy God within people . . . the pattern that the Bible says to do.

3.)  The anti-Christ knows what it is, and his followers consciously seek to undo it.  How? - Through pornography, acting crazy, being deceitful, lying, bullying, mocking, "do it in the road" - They're real life monsters that look, act, and sound human, but they are really possessed.

4.)  In literature:  Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman . . . http://amzn.com/156858217X

The Christian worldview wants to see evil eradicated, through repentance, and belief in Jesus.  The Pagan worldview wants to see the co-existence of evil with good, in equality.

Feminists and homosexuals battle from within the safe harbor of Christianity.  Why don't they try this in China or Iraq?  What happens when they succeed in destroying Christianity?  What will take it's place?  Islam - and how does Islam treat women and gays?  After that goes on for a while, and the usefulness of Islam has ended, then the communists will then destroy them, leaving a two-class system of the super rich and the super poor.  What is the logic behind this?  Fallen man wants worldly power - Fallen man wants to be god - He doesn't want to submit his will to the will of god . . . So he sets people at each others' throats - divide and conquer - they're no threat to his position of power, while they're fighting each other.

Criticisms of "Religion"

Religions, even ones under the same umbrella, can't seem to agree on everything, and all the others are said to go to hell, except the one you're in.

Religion has ties to superstition, and occultism, going back centuries.  It's based on pagan beliefs.

Many wars have been fought in the name of religion.

God takes the name of different prophets in different religions.  Some argue it's the same god.

Religion is a business like any other.

There is no meta-physical existence.

People often wait for a miracle to happen, instead of helping people.  They will ask for God to intervene, rather than finding a real life solution.

People who have weak intellects are likely to accept improbable solutions, rather than seek out the knowledge to understand the probable solution.

Many things explained as miracles can be explained through natural phenomenon.

Humanists want the government to be the new God.

There should be advertising laws for Christianity - Like how name brands work.

We need to know a faiths' primary assumptions . . . That's what the creeds were written for . . . Which ones address what's going on today?  The ones against Gnosticism.

The Book of Genesis was written by Moses as a polemic against the Hittites

From the Reformation, we gained the Five Solae . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_solae

Wesley provided a more humanized view, with the Weslyan Quadrilateral . . . Scripture, Reason, Tradition, and Experience - see how human reason is considered? . . . . . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesleyan_Quadrilateral

And on down to non-Christian humanism - the Humanist Manifesto I, II, and III . . . The humanist worldview is that whatever is comfortable to man is ok . . . . . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanist_Manifesto

Let's take a look at "inhibitions" - impulse control is regulated by frontal the lobe, it prevents animal behavior - If injured, it can result in hyper sex, anger, or inappropriate behavior . . . Is Christianity is about developing frontal lobe?

Why are there are so many other belief systems out there?

Human reason and logic says:  It all depends on your First Principles . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_principle

The Christian worldview says:  . . . First principles - ok - but, only the Holy Spirit can enable you to choose for the things of God, and become a believer in the saving work of Jesus.

Two life changing first principles / facts / primary assumptions:

1.)  Jesus never told a lie

2.)  The Bible is God's Word to mankind

Deconstruction . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconstruction

The opposite would be Reconstruction - put ideas back together

Thesis, antithesis, synthesis . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis,_antithesis,_synthesis

--------------------------------------------------------------

Example of breaking a primary assumption:

Skepticism of the Bible as being the Word of God, leads to verses being thrown out, gradually at first, and later, ultimately, the entire thing, which leads to chaos and anarchy.

It's the oldest trick in the book:

"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
