"MAN THINKING!!"

Good day to each one and praise The Lord!! We continue our study on The Thinking of Man and as we do, I pray it is encouraging as it is never meant to demean or offend anyone but always to tell the truth as God's Word portrays.From the very beginning of creation God has set standards in many areas. It is also true that as man developed over time and grew, he would almost always interfere with any one of those standards. For instance, as we look throughout the scriptures it is clear that God never intended for man to be involved in homosexual relationships yet man from early on has tried to change God's design. It is very clear from many passages in the Old and New Testaments alike that God does not tolerate this type of behavior but rather says those who engage in such activities shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven (Rev. 21 and Rom. 1).For those who hold to the fact of the Bible only being God's Word, there should be no variation from what HE has spoken by HIS Holy Spirit. The thinking of man does not change the mind of God as it is written.There is one more standard I want to mention in this writing that many people of our world would debate. That is the fact that God states very clearly that HE is The Only True God. In Matthew 4:10 it is The Lord Jesus Christ who speaks these words, "Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve." (KJV)

In the book of Hosea we see the very words of God Himself as He says, "Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no Saviour beside me" (Hosea 13:4). This same thought is expressed many times throughout the Word of God. God is THE ONLY God, there is no other. This means that all, ALL, other religions and their "gods" are nothing but false and will stand one day and give an account to The Almighty.
So at this point, as we look at standards, we conclude that there are standards set by God that were never meant to be messed with or changed or there will be consequences as a result. As this writer has said before, the Bible as God's Word is either true from "In the beginning" to "Amen", or it is the biggest lie ever brought before man. I believe it is God's Word as He meant for us to have it and we should not try to make it fit our lifestyle, but change our lifestyles to fit God's standard.
As God speaks through Paul in Philippians 2:9-11, "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (KJV).
We will not bow to Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad or any other false religion set up by man. Rather they will bow one day before the Almighty God of creation. God bless until our next time together. Feel free to contact me at the email provided. snowme1955@yahoo.com
