Why I believe we are less free.

Why I believe we are less free.

Humanity has failed to understand the seriousness of sin, and what unrepentant sin and unresolved conflict can do to a once free society. Mankind has asserted their own will, rather than submitting to the will of God. The reason why I believe mankind has lost it's freedoms goes beyond just not believing in the bible, but great indifference to the things that once made us free. We can be loving, and not be free, but neglect of fighting our own sin and even denying the doctrine or Original sin, has lead people to believe that there is no God, and we are the authors of our own destiny.

To fail to fight for the common good leads people into falsely assuming that it is right to assert our own will over other people and not practice the realities that lead to the common good of humanity. To live in a self imposed isolation from the truth that once made this world a peaceful place, is dangerous to freedom. Suspicion and unreality feeds this world's false understanding of security, when mankind suppresses the truth, not just the truth of the Bible, but all truth, then there becomes a world that fails to recognize any truth in general. When we fail to recognize truth society looses it's freedoms to choose what is right and wrong.

We become a relativistic society, where truth no longer has traction in our lives as a general rule. Our lives become like a skating rink, where we are trying to find traction without wearing ice skates. Life can be slippery without traction, and this is what it feels like living without truth. In a sense everyone's truth matters at this point, because when you are desperate to not fall flat on your back on the slippery slope of relativism etc, you want to feel like someone or something is holding you up. Truth is like the skates you put on, in order to skate on the ice of deception. It's fun to skate around on the ice, which is a metaphor, which is to say that I know how to use truth.

I don't use the truth for my own gain, I use it so that we all can have our rights accepted and once again live in the freedom that God gives to all mankind. This is Mike.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storeho...

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually th...

Who Defines Sin?

The short answer to this question is God defines sin. But how does He do it? Sin is defined in the word of God the Bible. The Bible was composed by many authors but these authors were inspired by the spirit of God, as though the spirit of God was writing through them. So the question is “Who wrote the Bible? Man or God?” The way I can explain this is that God wrote it using the agency of man. Before the New Covenant, there were prophets and holy people who spoke for God. Their words were recorded and when the books were compiled, including the books of the New Testament, we have the Bible. Because the Bible is God’s word, God Himself has preserved it throughout history. We understand who God is, and what is acceptable and not acceptable to God by reading the Bible. We learn this history of salvation, Israel’s deliverance and what God has done for the problem of sin, that every human being has a part in. Sin is clearly defined in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in ...
