Secularism is a combination of many corresponding religions, all based on worldly faith mixed with circular reasoning and loopy logic.  Most Secularists are also members of the following Secularist cults:   

   
• Agnosticism
   
• Atheism
   
• Evolutionism
   
• Humanism
   
• Intellectualism
   
• Liberalism
   
• Materialism
   
• Modernism
   
• Naturalism
   
• Post Modernism
   
• Rationalism
   
• Relativism
   
• Socialism/Communism
   

Secularism, this consortium of false religions, is the most murderous religion by far, killing a minimum of 180 million in the 20^th century alone. The Secularists, of course, claim that they are not a religion. They do this to escape the credit for their murders and all that they have done to ruin society. They claim to be a non-religion so they can push themselves into the State-established religion (or non-religious cult if you prefer). They are a religion, though a false one.   

Secularism takes the view that religious (not the Secularist  religion, but Christian religion and most religions other than Secularistic religions) considerations should be excluded from civil affairs or public education.   

Secularism is willingly ignorant of the totally lost condition of all human beings, the inability of human beings to do good works, and the one Holy Creator God's great gift of giving His one and only way of salvation through acceptance of the atoning work of His one, unique Son, Jesus Christ.  As a result of this willing ignorance, followers of this religion miss all the benefits of holiness, righteousness, peace, glory, love, and joy that can only be found through Jesus.  The sad result of their rebellion against God is that those who follow this religion choose hell rather than heaven.   

Secularism is a religion based on religious skepticism/indifference.  Secularism views all other religions as religious and they view their own religion as just the way things ought to be.  This may seem arrogant, but don't all religions do the same thing?   

Secularism is the government established religion in the United States and many other countries.  Secularism encompasses Humanism, Atheism, and Agnosticism.  Secularism seeks to put forward it's own religious  dogma, Evolutionism, as if Evolutionism were science.   

The government becomes the totalitarian "church" of Secularism.  Every effort is put into creating a situation where Biblical Christianity is not allowed to have any influence in government and the cultic religion of Secularism has all control of government.  Every effort is put into increasing the control of government and using governmental power to eliminate Biblical Christianity, even to the point of taking over authority of parents over their own children.   

The Secular Television networks, Secular schools, Secular scientific journals, Secular music industry, Secular news industry, Secular entertainment industry, Secular print media, and Secular radio all are overwhelmingly controlled by Secularists, including Secularism.  Every form of entertainment and information is used as a carrier to indoctrinate into Secularism.  And they are also used to demean, marginalize, condemn, denigrate, and belittle Biblical Christianity.   

Secularism is marked by the dogmatic belief that there is no God other than humanity.   

Each person becomes his or her own god, determining his or her own moral code.   

Secularistic ethical and moral codes can only be based on rationalization, that is, speculation.   

Secularism is moving from Modernism to Post Modernism, mostly because of the inability of Evolutionism to survive under the assumptions of Modernism.  For the same reason, and because of the hopelessness of Secularism, many Secularists are moving toward New Age Religion or Neo Paganism.   

Secularists often attend Unitarian and Liberal churches bearing Christian names.   

Secularist religions have tried to reverse the Christian respect for conscience of conflicting religions.  Christians have avoided legislating morality, but Secularists have worked to coerce Christians into doing things against conscience.  Examples would include endorsing perversion,  or forcing Christians to dispense the morning after pill.  Also, coercion is exercised to prevent such things as Christians praying in the name of Jesus or teaching principles of the Bible.   

  Some Christians have, either on purpose or by just drifting, inserted parts of Secularism into their walk with Jesus.  They tried to make it compatible with Christ. The little changes, however, caused these followers of Christ to stop following Christ and instead they began following ungodliness.  This comes up when Christians want to fit in with the World.  No one can be a friend of the world and a friend of God. Some try to live a double-life, a secular life and a churchy life.  That is hypocrisy.   
   

God's plan for this hour is not to make all religions and philosophies get along. His plan is to have a people, a remnant company, who continue to discover Him, to walk with Him until they come into perfect unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God to one totally complete man (the Body of Christ and the Head, Jesus), to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.   

In contrast to Secularism, followers of Christ receive Jesus Christ as the only Creator of the Universe, the God Who created them and their only Savior from bondage to sin. At the same time His love for those who have been deceived by Secularism compels God to speak to them daily through His creation and through other means; they will not listen to Him. You know that you were created for more than you are experiencing. If you continue to think like you always thought, you will continue to get what you always got. Is it enough? Read more. Read even more.   

Secularism does one or more of the following:   

   
• denies that God exists
   
• claims that God cannot be known
   
• claims that God is not a factor in life
   
• claims that God is silent
   
• claims that God isn't powerful
   
• seeks to live a life without God
   
• makes humanity into a god
   
• makes government into a god
   
• makes intellect into a god
   

The supreme being, to Secularists is humanity or else the government or society.  Each person becomes his or her own god or the government becomes God.  There is a tendency, in Secular writings, to deify things like evolution, natural selection, nature, the universe, science, etc.   

In direct conflict with the teachings of Secularism, there is one triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in perfect unity yet distinct persons within that unity. God is creator of the universe and everything in it. He is all-present, all-knowing, all-powerful. All that is good comes from God. Jesus is God. The Father is God. The Holy Spirit is God. They are three persons and one God.   

Unlike the teachings of Secularism, walking with Jesus is based on the God of the Bible. The Bible speaks of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The full name of Jesus is Lord, Jesus, Christ. Lord refers to the Father. Jesus said, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. Jesus means savior, because He came to save us from our sins. God Himself paid our price for us that His holy righteousness would be fulfilled and so that He could restore us to Himself. Christ is a synonym for Messiah or Anointed One. Christ will always be the only Anointed One. The Anointing Oil is a type of the Holy Spirit. The word, trinity, is not in the Bible, but the three persons of the trinity are very plain throughout the Bible. Christians have an ongoing experience with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is what it means to be a Christian. Whoever will may come.   

Another difference between following Christ and the teachings of Secularism, following Christ is based on knowing Jesus personally. Christians believe Jesus when He tells them that it is in Him alone that they can find life, peace, joy, fulfillment, love, righteousness, and every other good thing. They believe Jesus when He tells them that rejecting Him as their one and only God is the most serious sin that could be committed--the sin against the first commandment.   

One more difference between the teachings of Secularism and following Jesus is that walking in this Way would make no sense at all if Jesus were not God.   

Another incompatibility with the teachings of Secularism is this: a called-out person's life is all about a relationship with God. This relationship is very close and personal. It is a relationship of submission to the Holy Spirit. The human mind was never created to be operated without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing through it with the human mind in complete submission. The same is true of the body. Spiritual death is defined as a condition where the human spirit, mind, or body is not in complete submission to the Holy Spirit.   

Biblical Christianity's Teachings on God: The Only God is triune, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere-present, and has always existed.   

Secularists vary in their view of Jesus.  None, of course, recognize His redemption or His divinity.   

Some deny that Jesus ever existed.   

Some openly hate Jesus and those who follow Jesus.   

Some think Jesus was a moral teacher.   

In divergence from the teachings of Secularism, called-out followers of Jesus know by revelation that Jesus is God. God is One, yet God is plural. There are three persons in One God. The unity between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is beyond what the human mind can comprehend. Jesus, Son of God, one person of the one triune God, so joined to the Father that His name is Father, yet in submission to the Father. He is Savior, Lord, and Anointed one (Christ). Eternal God and incarnated as man. In him is hidden all knowledge. Without Him, we can do nothing. He lives in the hearts of those who have received His redemption and gives them strength to endure all things and walk in holiness. Jesus is the Truth, and the Bible testifies of Him. If you have Jesus, then you have the Father. If you don't have Jesus, then you don't have the Father. Jesus is wisdom, and without Him, there is no wisdom. In the same way, God is love, so Jesus is love. He is peace. He is joy. All knowledge is hidden in Him.   

The diametrically opposite to the teachings of Secularism is the revelation that Jesus as the one and only unique Son of God Who is bringing many sons into glory. Christianity is based on knowing Jesus personally. Christians believe Jesus when He tells them that it is in Him alone that they can find life, peace, joy, fulfillment, love, righteousness, and every other good thing. They believe Jesus when He tells them that rejecting Him as their one and only God is the most serious sin that could be committed--the sin against the first commandment. Jesus said: He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. Luke 10:16 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6   

Unlike Secularism, True Christianity is not a religion but rather a living experience with the living Jesus. It is a moment-by-moment experience of the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ) guiding and directing the Christian and the Christian either contending with God or submitting to the Holy Spirit. If the Christian contends, he or she becomes less mature in Christ. If the Christian submits, he or she has actually simply entered into the sabbath rest to let God do His work through them. When a Christian submits, faith comes. Faith is supernatural belief that God will do what He has just led the Christian to do. At that moment, the Christian has access into the grace of God, which is God's free gift. Righteousness is the free gift of God and the righteousness of God then flows to the Christian. If the Christian will submit his or her members to the Spirit of God, then God does His righteousness through the Christian. The Christian does the work, yet it is not the Christian but Christ in the Christian doing the work. When God does His righteousness through the Christian, this plants holy seed into the heart of the Christian. The old sinful person, the flesh dies a little bit each time. The Christ within is built up. This holy seed grows in the heart and brings more fruit, which, in turn, plants more holy seed. At the same time, the Christian is set free from sin in some measure--this is the meaning of the word, redemption. This is the relationship that God desires to have with every person. This process proceeds through the Body of Christ. Each member of the Body of Christ, each Christian, is a manifestation of the living Christ in the Earth. Each member is being fitted for a specific place of service within this Body, and the Body of Christ continues to grow until the full manifestation of the sons of God takes place at the end of the age.   

In stark dissimilarity to Secularism, true Christianity depends on the revelation that Jesus is God. Only God could pay the price for the sin of every person who ever lived or will live. A Christian's life is all about a relationship with the One Almighty Creator God, the God Who is Love. This relationship is very close and personal. It is a relationship of submission to the Holy Spirit. The human mind was never created to be operated without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing through it with the human mind in complete submission. The same is true of the body. Spiritual death is defined as a condition where the human spirit, mind, or body is not in complete submission to the Holy Spirit.   

As the opposite of the teachings of Secularism as light is to darkness, God has revealed that He is a loving forgiving, but totally righteous, God. Christians have been forgiven for their sins because of the blood of Jesus. Jesus paid the price of the sins of every person. The Christian is required to see reality, that is, to have the humility to realize that they have fallen short of the glory of God and that they need the Savior to deliver them. And Christians no longer are forced to continually obey their own flesh so that even their own self-righteousness is as filthy rags. Christians can yield to the Holy Spirit and allow God to do His righteousness through them. God does not force Christians to yield, however. Many Christians are born again and remain as babes in Christ, but they will not be found among the faithful. Some Christians attempt in vain to establish their own righteousness, a self-righteousness, and so they are unable to receive the free gift of righteousness that comes from the throne of God, but they will not be found among the faithful. If Christians willingly abandon their self-righteousness and self-dependence and believe God rather than their own understanding, and if they stop contending against Jesus but rather accept Him and His free gift, then God will totally deliver them at the end of this present age. If a Christian dies in the meantime, they are together with Christ in glory and they join that great cloud of witnesses who have been faithful but have not yet obtained the promise.   

Another thing that separates those who have been called out to follow Jesus from the teachings of Secularism is that those who receive God's salvation are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Christians know that they have received the free gift (grace) of forgiveness of sins. Christians can know that they are going to heaven because of the goodness of God. All that is required is that a person not reject the free gift.   

Secularists vary in their view of the work of Jesus.  None, of course, recognize His redemption or His divinity.   

Some deny that Jesus ever existed.   

Some openly hate Jesus and those who follow Jesus.   

Some think Jesus was a moral teacher.   

An additional fact that is contradictory to the teachings of Secularism is that Jesus lived a holy life without sin, died as a substitution for us, descended into hell and rose again in three days, and ascended into Heaven to save us from sin, death, and the power of Satan. He conquered sin, sickness and death on the cross.   

In sharp contrast to the teachings of Secularism, Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. He is the only source of forgiveness or access to the Father. Those who don't except His work are not accepting the Father and are dooming themselves to judgment.   

Unlike the teachings of Secularism, Jesus works in the lives of believers, helping us to apply and take advantage of His victory in our lives through the Holy Spirit and helping us to grow in Christ.   

Another distinction between the teachings of Secularism and the teachings of the Holy Spirit: Jesus Christ will, in God's appointed time, return to the earth to raise the dead, judge and rule over the nations with His Church, the Body of Christ, in His everlasting Kingdom.   

Secularists see several assumed "axioms" as being the chief cornerstones of authority in their faith.   

First, they assume rationalism, which becomes the foundation for making other rationalizations, establishing other axioms, and speculating on whatever they desire to be the truth.   

From this basis of rationalism, they assume materialism (there is no God and there is nothing spiritual including the spirit of man), naturalism (there is no spiritual explanation for anything), and uniformitarianism (all things continue from the beginning as they are now; there was no creation and no flood, and there will be no coming judgment).   

Since evolutionism collapsed under modernism in the seventies, Secularists have increasingly been forced to embrace the dogmas of Post Modernism.  Post Modernism allows Secularists to live with the fact that they cannot find a set of assumptions under which evolution would be possible.  With Post Modernism's concept of relativism (there is no truth and there is nothing wrong with deception because there is no lie), they can live with their "no God" dogma in spite of the obvious foolishness of this dogma.  In addition, Post Modernism's compartmentalization of thought helps Secularists to deal with their own inconsistency of thought, which is required to believe in Secular dogmas.   

Secularists try to lump divine revelation in with their own sad state of having no foundation.  A favorite phrase of Secularists is, "The Bible was written by men, so it has errors."  However, there is a huge difference between that which is based on God's own voice and that which is based in human supposition/speculation.   

Contrary to the teachings of Secularism, the Bible (Old & New Testaments) as revealed to the hearts and minds of believers by the power of the Spirit but not by the corrupt natural human mind, is the unique, revealed, factual, accurate, & inspired Word of God, the sole authoritative writing for faith & practice.   

A dissimilarity to the claimed authority of Secularism is that the teachings of the Bible have been shown to be absolutely accurate in every way by every test possible.   

Unlike the teachings of Secularism, God speaks directly through the Bible, creation, the conscience, and other believers. When God speaks, He never conflicts with his revealed Word in the Bible and never conflicts with His creation.   

Another way that God's revelation is unlike the teachings of Secularism: God reveals and gives the interpretation of Scripture. God forbids any human speculation, imagination, assumption, presumption, presupposition, rationalization, or anything else that adds to or takes from Scripture. The Scripture is very clear in stating that the human mind is evil, deceptive, and untrustworthy to the point that our own minds can deceive us. The battle is for the mind with Satan and the flesh on the one side and the Holy Spirit joined to the redeemed human spirit on the other side.   

There is a disparity with the teachings of Secularism in that God has declared that there is one and only one truth. Truth is not relative but it is very precise and tangible. Truth is found in Jesus Christ. Whatever God has not revealed and led in is sin. Each Christian, and also every unsaved person, is responsible to find God through Jesus Christ. Whoever seeks Him does find Him. He does speak to them. While the Bible has definitive truth, the Bible is not God. God must reveal the meaning of the Bible to His people. His primary authority for interpreting the Bible is through apostles. Because of the spiritual war that is currently raging, Satan introduces counterfeits of every reality, so Satan introduces false apostles. However, God assures us that we can know the difference by the Spirit of God. The false apostles will give themselves away by their works.   

Dogmatic belief in evolution, even when scientific observation refutes evolution.   

Secularists believe that humanity is basically without purpose, other than some rationalized purpose.  They believe that random processes somehow created the complex mechanisms of life and then breathed life into that mechanism, even though such a belief is in direct conflict with what can be easily observed regarding the second law of thermodynamics.   

The Secularists will tell you a half truth about the Second Law of Thermodynamics.  The Secularists will tell the half truth: "The Second Law of Thermodynamics only applies to isolated systems, so it's not relevant to evolution, because the Earth is an open system."  This is a clever lie.  Here is the part of the truth that they are withholding:  the Second Law of Thermodynamics was derived using theoretical isolated systems, but it applies to all systems, and can only be overcome locally and temporarily in open systems when stringent conditions are met. Not only that, but we are not talking about the Earth.  The Earth is just a subsystem of a much larger system called the Universe.  The Universe is an isolated system.  Evolutionists claim that Evolution took place in this isolated system, but the Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that their story is a myth.    

More information on the Second Law of Thermodynamics can be found here & here & here & here & here   

In addition, they believe that humanity is evolving; they believe that random processes are adding to the information in the DNA.  They believe this, even though no instance of information being added to anything by a random process has ever been observed anywhere by anyone.   

A polarizing teaching of Secularism is in conflict with the revelation that men and women were created by God, and that, at the time of their creation, they were good--as was everything else. At that time, God set man in authority over the rest of creation.   

In comparison to the teachings of Secularism, the followers of Christ realize that they were created to be joined to Jesus Christ, to have a continual flow of the Anointing of His Holy Spirit through them so that the Spirit will continually lead them and the Creator will do His work through them.   

Another way that God's revelation diverges from the teachings of Secularism is that the followers of Christ know that man obeyed Satan and became servant of Satan, and in this way, brought all creation under the control of Satan, so humans, in their natural state, are totally corrupted and in slavery to Satan and sin. This fall into sin separated man from God. Outside of the salvation that God has given through Christ, there is no hope for any person to do righteousness. Humanity is lost in sin and the result is death. The mind of man has been corrupted by the fall and is deceitful and desperately wicked. Each person is a trinity, body, soul, and spirit, and is dead to God, body, soul, and spirit, unless joined to God through trusting in the work of Jesus.   

Here is a further disagreement with the teachings of Secularism--the followers of Christ are set free from slavery to their own desires. God is working with followers of Christ through faith to untangle many lies that come from the father of all lies. If they listen, God will set them completely free, that is, redeem them. Those who are following Christ are redeemed in their spirits, having a close relationship with the Holy Spirit as they worship in spirit and in truth. The current battle is to redeem the mind. The final redemption will the redemption of the body spoken of in Romans and 1 Corinthians.   

Another way to distinguish between the teachings of Secularism the revelation of the Bible is the fact that the Bible teaches that man (and woman) is a three-part entity, spirit, soul, and body. The soul is the mind, life, and heart--these are synonyms. The human spirit and the human soul were never created to operate outside of a union with God. Jesus prayed for this union when He prayed, "I pray that they all may be one..."   

Secularism has teachings that conflict with the fact that man is appointed once to die and after this the judgment--and so Christ died for every man.   

The teachings of Christ and the teachings of Secularism are dissimilar in that the followers of Christ were created to walk from glory to every-increasing glory by the Spirit of God. Actually, every person was created for this purpose. In this age, some are disobedient to that call.   

Followers of Christ have been the power behind the English and the U.S. movements to abolish slavery. Biblical Christianity has no place for the concept of races. We are all descendents of Adam. All of humanity is one race. Among the descendents of Adam, those who are born again have been born into the family of God. All who have not been born again have chosen to remain true to their father, Satan. Each person makes this choice. All are free to choose to come into God's family by putting their faith in Jesus and committing themselves to Him.   

True Christianity respects women and does not make them a lesser creation.   

The biggest problem faced by Secularists is trying to rationalize a purpose to their lives.  Most of them settle for striving to find as much pleasure as they possibly can get.   

Secularists believe that many of humanity's problems are caused by ignorance, lack of education, and outdated beliefs in the supernatural.   

The problem is sin. Sin is anything that is not done in response to the leading of God, that is not done by God's miraculous righteousness working through us, or both.  In the Garden of Eden, this took the form of Eve believing and obeying the serpent rather than God.  In other words, whenever a man or woman sets out to establish their own righteousness, this is sin.   
   
Sin is human will that is not in submission to God's will.  All sin is a lack of love, because God is love.  All righteousness is a free gift from God.  Those who reject Jesus do so because they don't want the righteousness of God.  When the law is understood, with it's many just and holy commandments, it is the manifestation of God in His people.  This active work of sin has continued in all of mankind until today.   
   
Unlike the teachings of Secularism, The Bible teaches that human beings are sold into sin, slaves of Satan and must be bought back out of slavery by the blood of Christ. Christians are fully aware of the totally lost condition of all human beings, the inability of human beings to do good works, and the one Holy Creator God's great gift of giving His one and only way of salvation through acceptance of the atoning work of His one, unique Son, Jesus Christ. Christians do not miss all the benefits of holiness, righteousness, peace, glory, love, and joy that can only be found through Jesus. Christians are those who do not rebel against God and His free salvation, which is through Christ. Christians choose heaven rather than hell.   

God's plan for humanity is very high. Sin is falling short of God's plan.   

In contrast to the teachings of Secularism, sin is failure to obey God, but sin is much more. God created man in a certain way to be guided by the Spirit of God by grace through faith. Whatever does not follow this pattern of guidance is sin.   
   

In variance with the teachings of Secularism, God is love, and sin is the lack of Love. God has a will and is a personal God. Sin is self-will or obedience to other spirits. Humanity was designed to be completely filled with the fullness of God at all times. Unlike the teachings of Secularism, God desires to lead us at every moment in every detail. He desires that we hear His voice and respond in submission. We were created for this. We were created to respond by yielding to the Spirit of God and allowing God to do His works through us.   

In stark contrast to the teachings of Secularism, the problem is that, since the fall, humanity is hopelessly in slavery to Satan and cut off from God, and all creation has been corrupted by sin. That is the reason that death, sorrow, sickness, and trouble exists.   

Differing from the teachings of Secularism, true Christianity teaches that human beings are sold into sin, slaves of Satan and must be bought back out of slavery by the blood of Christ.  true Christians are fully aware of the totally lost condition of all human beings, the inability of human beings to do good works, and the one Holy Creator God's great gift of giving His one and only way of salvation through acceptance of the atoning work of His one, unique Son, Jesus Christ. Christians do not miss all the benefits of holiness, righteousness, peace, glory, love, and joy that can only be found through Jesus. Christians are those who do not rebel against God and His free salvation, which is through Christ. Christians choose heaven rather than hell.   

Differing from the teachings of Secularism, a true Christian's life is all about a relationship with God. This relationship is very close and personal. It is a relationship of submission to the Holy Spirit. The human mind was never created to be operated without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing through it with the human mind in complete submission. The same is true of the body. Spiritual death is defined as a condition where the human spirit, mind, or body is not in complete submission to the Holy Spirit.   

Salvation from humanity's sin and depravity requires forgiveness from God.  This forgiveness results in the New Birth.  Forgiveness and being born again are, and can only be, attained through faith in Jesus Christ, God's Son, and in His efficacious death on the cross of Calvary and His resurrection from the dead.  Without being born again, no one can see, or enter the Kingdom of God.  Everyone who has the faith of Jesus Christ is born again, and that no other action, gift, baptism, or any other such thing is needed for a person to be born again.  When a person is born again they are a member of the Church--the Church is the called out Body of Christ made up of the ministries of all the believers.   
   
Righteousness is a free gift from God and that it is part of our salvation.  Faith gives us access into grace, the free gift.  The free gift includes both forgiveness and righteousness.  Righteousness is obtained by drawing near to God and yielding to God.   
   
Righteousness is in the moment.  It is the flow of God's love through a human being.  Holiness/Sanctification is the establishment of God's righteousness in the mind/soul of a person.  Holiness is established by submission to the righteousness of God.  Holiness represents a stability in the heart; it is a permanent transformation.  Holiness is progressive as we yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit.  Redemption is also progressive.  Redemption is being set free from sin.  Redemption is being set free to serve God.   
   
Contradicting the teachings of Secularism, for a Christian who is following Christ, Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is an ongoing relationship. It is an unfolding revelation of the living Christ. Jesus is the only source of righteousness. As a Christian yields to Jesus, the Holy Spirit both leads that Christian into righteousness and also does the righteousness of God through the Christian. This leads to holiness and also to redemption from slavery to sin. Yielding to sin, even for Christians, brings bondage to sin. Sin is habit-forming, but so is the righteousness that is only available through Jesus--the works He does through you.   

To further differentiate The Biblical teachings from the teachings of Secularism, salvation is a process that begins with being born again and progresses from glory to ever increasing glory. Salvation is by God's free gift and God's free gift is received through believing and receiving God. God is love, so to receive God is to receive love. Love is righteousness and the fulfillment of the law. When we yield to God, His love does His righteousness through us and fulfills all of God's law. God's love and revelation is always in complete harmony with the Bible, God's word. This is the way in which we are born again into the Kingdom of God. And this is the way in which we proceed from glory to glory to the manifestation of the sons of God, the redemption of our bodies, the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.   

Secularism, as with all false religions, is a religion of self-righteousness.   

Secularists fight for a Secular society on religious and moral (values) grounds.   

One of the chief precepts of Secularism is the suppression of Christianity.  For instance, Secularists have a strong mandate to make sure that children are taught Secular principles in public schools in preference to Christian principles.  They consider themselves to be engaged in a culture war to enforce the teaching of their own dogmas as an absolute ethical mandate.  This is interesting in the light of the fact that one of their doctrines is the dogmatic assertion that there are no absolutes.   

Secularists hate the concept of good and evil and right or wrong.  Secularism tends to prefer Nietzsche's "values" to God's moral laws.  This is because values are based on each person's preference, where God's laws are unchanging.  Since they don't believe in God (at least they claim not to believe) they don't want God to impose His laws on them.   

All Secular ethical systems are based on rationalism.  That is to say that these systems are all merely fabrications/speculations created in the mind of human beings as opposed to the revelation that is given to Christians.   

Secularists tend to spend much effort and angst in attacking Christian ethics and morality and attacking the fact that there are moral absolutes.  Secularists arrogantly state that no one has a relationship with God or can know God's will-and their rationale for this dogmatic assertion is their claim that there is no God.   

Secularists tend to have great animosity toward the laws of the Bible and the Christian's ongoing relationship with Christ.   

All human ethical systems, those not based on the revelation given by God have the following three characteristics: They are speculative, that is, rationalistic.  They are self-centered and self-righteous.  They are rebellion against God.   

In variation from the teachings of Secularism, God gave his law on Sinai, and His law is holy and just and good, but human beings are not able to obey His law. As a result, no one can earn salvation.   

In opposition to the teachings of Secularism, salvation brings works, not the other way around. We are saved to good works; good works cannot bring salvation. Good works are a gift from God. They are, in fact, God Himself doing His work through us, and that is only available to the saved.   

Another difference from the teachings of Secularism is this--because the believer has been born again into God's family, God speaks the word of faith into the heart of the believer. Then, God gives the power to believe and to discern the voice of God from other voices. God gives the power both to will and to do His good pleasure. He actually does the work-it is His grace (free gift) doing the work in the believer. Then, He rewards the believer as if the believer had done something.   

Unlike the teachings of Secularism, salvation is free in Christ Jesus.   

The Bible contradicts the teachings of Secularism. The law can be summed up in one word, love. So when someone commits adultery this is the opposite of love. Satan, for the sake of confusion, calls adultery love, but it is just the opposite. The same is true of envy, murder, covetousness, disrespect for parents, perversion, or any other part of God's law.   

The Bible is diverse from the teachings of Secularism. For those who have been born again, the law is being written on their hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit now becomes the One who guides them and gives them power both to will and to do God's good pleasure. No one can obey God unless it is God both giving them the will do good and also doing the good works though them.   

The Bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit are at variance with the teachings of Secularism. The Bible is given as an authoritative guide to the truth, and the Holy Spirit teaches us when we read the Bible, provided we ask for leading and believe that we will receive it.   

The Holy Spirit, as He has led the Church, is in disagreement with the teachings of Secularism. The Holy Spirit teaches that the Bible gives us the order for the church and the order of the church is also given for guidance in interpreting the Bible and for understanding what is right and what is wrong   

The Spirit is not in agreement with the teachings of Secularism on Judgment, heaven, and hell. There is a life hereafter: heaven for the righteous, hell for the wicked and rebellious. God Himself is the only One Who makes this judgment.   

God's revelation, through Scripture, is in contradiction to the teachings of Secularism in that resurrection and judgment of all will take place on the day appointed by God. The saved will have everlasting fellowship with the Creator God. Those who have persisted in unbelief will receive judgment according to God's wisdom.   

God's revelation differs further from the teachings of Secularism: God's judgment is continual also during life. God's judgments are remedial, though they can be very severe. God has no pleasure in correcting anyone through His judgment. God's judgment starts with gentle leading, speaking to each person who lives. If that person receives the direction of God, they will first receive supernatural belief in Jesus as Savior to deliver them from both the punishment for their sins and to also deliver them from their sins. From their, God will lead them from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord. The path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more until that day when Christ is fully and completely formed in the members of the Body of Christ as they flow into that total unity with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.   

Unlike the teachings of Secularism, God uses punishment as a way to bring those He loves to Himself. For those who are not obedient to the Spirit of God, it becomes more difficult.   

Unlike the teachings of Secularism, Even now, Jesus is the resurrection and the life and we can partake of his life to a degree.
