Rationalized of Spiritualized Supposition
It's quite surprising to discover the simplicity of the deception. You may have wondered how the creationists and evolutionists could look at the same data and evidence and come out with such different answers. The same is true of the socialist/communist and the politically conservative, looking at the same Constitution and the same historical documents. The same goes for the religiously liberal and the Christian, looking at the same Bible.
Rom 8:7 because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be. The simple truth is that it's possible to rationalize anything, and very intelligent people can rationalize insane ideas and not even realize that they are doing so. If they realize that they are rationalizing falsehood, they can even rationalize the idea that it's OK to rationalize. You can see this in theology. Sincere Christians disagree on the interpretation of Scripture. They are intelligent. Their arguments are carefully crafted and skillfully. Yet, their arguments are dependent on suppositions/assumptions/made up stories and unsupported declarations. The fact is that it takes great intelligence to convincingly make notions like global warming, socialism, evolution sound as if they make sense, and many other theologies that are commonly taught in organizations that are called "churches." There are highly paid people whose job it is to form arguments to convince people of the validity of notions like these. The problem is not the lack of intelligence, and the solution is not in framing the most convincing argument. The most dangerous people are those who are able to frame wonderful sounding arguments when they have no substance of truth behind those arguments. Numbers 15:39... and that ye seek not after your own mind and your own ability to observe, with which you used to commit fornication: What a surprise! When the liberals say, "science," they mean, "I made it up." When they say, "reason," they really mean, "I made it up." When they say, "logic," they really mean, "I just made it up." I thought, "This is too simple. It's like a cheap magic trick. How could such a cheap trick fool so many people?" (The obvious answer is, "Because they want to be fooled.") They are just making it up. Sometimes, they know they are fabricating, and sometimes they are just blinded by their own presuppositions. The nice word is speculation, but these made up facts can range from poor logic to presuppositions to lies. You can't imagine data into existence no matter what kind of intellectual you imagine that you are. Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? You can't imagine data into existence no matter what kind of intellectual you imagine that you are. Yet, that is exactly the basis of so much of liberal thought. They grunt really hard and try to imagine data into existence. They work equally as hard to hide the origins of their data and to make it seem to make sense. This is true of liberal theology and liberal science. The Da Vinci Code fiction is a perfect example, a mix of fact and imagination into a web of deceit that only the willingly ignorant would accept. The molecules-to-man evolution conjecture / fabrication is another example. Chicken Little stories about ecology are riddled with this kind of thinking. So are all the stories that glorify socialistic/communist ideas. Every rationalized speculation and rationalized supposition is actually a lie, because it is a dishonest attempt to give credibility to something that is incredible. Many of the statements made are actually rationalized lies. They are known untruths that are dressed up in the clothing of science, news, history, or any other sheep's clothing that will help to make the lie appear to be truth. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walks wisely, he shall be delivered. Jeremiah 23:16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still to them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. The imagination of your own heart is that which you can rationalize. All truth comes from God.
