HUMANISM - An Unworthy Worship
Many problems in human experience are the result of false and inaccurate definitions of humankind premised in man-made religions and humanistic philosophies.
Human knowledge is a fraction of the whole universe. The balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human reason cannot fully function in such a void, thus, the intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by which it perceives and measures values.
Humanism makes man his own standard of measure,however, as with all measuring systems, a standard must be greater than the value measured.
Based on preponderant ignorance and an ego-centric carnal nature, humanism demotes reason to the simpleton task of excuse-making for the rule of appetites, desires, feelings, emotions, and glands.
Because man, hobbled in an ego-centric predicament cannot invent criteria greater than himself, the humanist lacks a predictive capability. Without transcendent criteria, humanism cannot evaluate options with foresight for survival and progression. Without foresight or instinct, man is blind to potential consequence and is unwittingly committed to averages, mediocrity, and regression - and worse. Humanism is an unworthy worship - not very bright.
The void of human ignorance can easily be filled with a functional faith while not-so-patiently awaiting the foot-dragging growth of human knowledge and behavior. Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and validated in His Word, the Bible, brings a Transcendent Standard to man the choice-maker. Other philosophies and religions are man-made, humanism, and thereby lack what only the Bible has:
1. Transcendent Criteria and
2. Fulfilled Prophetic Validation
The vision of faith in God and His Word is survival equipment for today and the future. SelahThe way we define 'human' determines our view of self, others, relations, institutions, life, and future.Important? Only the Creator, who made us in His own image, is qualified to accurately define us. Choose wisely - there are effects.
Man is earth's CHOICEMAKER. Psalm 25:12 He is by nature and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of CRITERIA. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural foundation of his institutions, environments, and respectful relations to his fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom whose roots are in the Order of the universe. Biblical principles are still today the foundation under Western Civilization and the American way of life. Let us proclaim it. Behold! The Season of GENERATION-CHOICEMAKER. JOEL 3:14
