Confused? This page for is for helping students, the over-educated, over thinkers, science geeks and yes, the… Early on strong Doubters …like myself.
Not to worry … this is often referred to as – “Simply Lost”. And everyone has been there – ok, well ….”Lost” without direction, at least one time or another. … So, have hope, because there is a way out, and this kinda lost feeling, it really can get better! Listen up! The Good News is that we have all been given a perfect GPS for life itself; called, guess what, …the “Good News”, or the Gospel, which is found in the New Testament. … And, it can find you! If you are seeking God, and not walking in your own way, deliberately, angrily stomping, into the world’s wilderness of madness; stop going in that direction. By humbly seeking God, you discover He is the way. The only way, to walk in peace, … out of the wilderness of madness! … actually, this is everyone on earth’s GPS or “God’s Positioning System“, specifically given for you! The Gospel of Christ will, stop all the spinning, remove the confusion, lovingly clarify all of our fears and doubts; so that, the Dazed n Confused feelings we all experience, will all go away. They will just simply become, … a memory, this thing from our past life. You see, you and I are included, – in God’s Great redemption plan. This means, …there is a great Plan for YOU! Just learn … to let Him lead you. Afterall He is a good shepherd and wants to provide for you!
Well, that is … unless you decline this love, ….. but that would mean: You are only focused and struggling to be accepted by the worlds mayhem and madness. Perhaps, …you still love something about this world more than God (1 John 2:15). But what? … Love self? Love only possessions? Love hard core drama and deep pain that causes turmoil? Or maybe, you just have something against the very Good Things of God? Like: Peace, Love, Joy, Mercy, Grace, Faith, Fellowship, Etc. So, think about it a moment? Think you were “Born to be wild” without any sense at all? … I use to think that. And yes I had no sense. Not to pry; …but, are Good things, like these mentioned… missing from your life? If so, are you willing to become, … more of A Non-Secularized Student for even a day or two?… Learning about the God delivered … Good Gift? … I believe that, if you sit down and read about this Jesus, this Good News, that amazing things will happen around you. And you will see things, differently for yourself. Taste and see that the Lord is good. (Psalms 34: 8) Note: Psalms means song. So, you could Click Here and just listen to a King David song or Psalms, which is being sung out-loud. To hear his personal take on the matter.
I tend to Overthink things. I sorta imagine … that I could think like Pasteur and Descartes …They believed in Scholasticism, that to be knowledgeable of both Educational and Spiritual things … Will Add both Peace and fortitude to our lives, not Merely knowledge about stuff.
Now, if you are ok with a very tiny, “non-secular”, little reading assignment … Start reading! … Simply open the book of John … Where is it? the New testament. it is just after another good book, Luke. … that’s all there is .. start!… just dive right in, … go on, read a bit, say three chapters. then read some more, and dare yourself to consider for a moment, how your whole life might change … if you were too actually “believe this Good news”, that you are reading about. consider for a moment things: Like, have I been living my life in “a dazed n confused way”? The knowledge of God will take the daze away and change our lives. because Faith cometh through hearing (Romans 10:17); And by reading, … you are also hearing. And can expect to see changes start.
Really, what do you have to loose? … Just some reading with a little hearing, and it just might make things “upside down”, flip to “Right side up”! You See, when one “who is lost” actually gets found, there is great joy! Want to Start today? … just read three chapters. And Wow! … Now You’ve only turned on the GPS. and it is already working for you. You will see … things are starting to change and get better. and if you have some doubts… and really don’t expect to experience change yourself… Well, That is Good … Because, you can’t make change all on your own anyway … Only God can make the real changes in us. If you don’t believe you need GOD, how can you expect things to ever change? if you don’t turn on the GPS and let God position You! But, If you do start reading, …Then you will say “I should have done this sooner“. personally, i could not live a life filled with peace; “without God’s GPS gift” …. and Since God already knows who we are, … He also knows where we are. I Hope You read, and Let God, Find You as the one – Looking for Him!
Now I only Recommend deep Educational history studies and/or Church History Studies After You have developed your own (Frame of Mind) or thought Framework. Because it is just Disagreement after Disagreement of Time periods, and worse, try not to entertain Multiple secular Schools of worldly thoughts, perceptions, and opinions. This is what Elijah had to say and Jesus had to point out:
Elijah (1 Kings 18:21) and Jesus (1 John 4:5)
Now …hmmm … are we having PROBLEMS READING … this supposed nonsense? … are we having PROBLEMS with personal BELIEF? … why?
Could this be why? … For real?… Know this, there was this young man, who was EDUCATED In an old Egyptian SCHOOL SYSTEM. Who had the title “PHARAOH“. He was surrounded by both family, teachers, and trusted advisors that indoctrinated him over and over in this, … that (HE himself was “Pharaoh”, A real, bona-fide god) Yep he was Bona-fide … and no one should speak to him as if he was not a god….. I know, … this sounds kinda silly but, when Moses told him about the “One true God“. This challenged his education; you see, Pharaoh had a hard time accepting the fact that he was not the God. Now, Our culture based system of education is very similar, teaching stuff like “God is Dead”(*1,*3) also, “Science is God” / and or, the we need a new society or Sociology(*4), or that God was needed only because “We were scared of the dark?” until we invented the “Light bulb?”. They teach that God was some archaic belief we must get over, or that God is in our imperfect imagination due an imperfect World , and then there is “Secular Humanism: this is the belief that man himself is a god and/or would make a better god, or master of all destiny”(*5). So, go find a missionary educator or a good pastor and start questioning Egypts teachings, and also, find out what the real belt of TRUTH is, that’s this, in No way,… is any mans knowledge, or … you for that matter … an actual god, … could it be something in your education that is keeping you from having faith in God? …. Mic Drop! KaBoom! Think of Pharaoh, just finding out that he was actually wrong about being a god, after going through the ten Biblical plagues?
Don’t misunderstand: The fact is, I value a good education. I Love and respect, at least, a two dozen friends who are Principals and Teachers. My Principal’s wife, an english teacher, even helped me travel and minister, (because, I had no car at age 13). And also my favorite teacher, (a Physical Science teacher), taught me that many things mentioned in all science books you read, just clearly, make claims and teach about things not proven yet. Or simply will be disproved later. She said, that it is called the hypothesis stage. Before the end of the year, I found out, that “She was Right!” several things in my Science book, (without a doubt), were disproved over time! What I got from this, …don’t believe everything you are …”forced to read”!
Let’s be honest. There is a strong difference between the two schools-of-thought, you should notice this. So, is it possible that, some Humanistic Greek/Roman teaching (a very different School of thought) is setting up shop around us? Could this include you? This is where the term Scholastic comes from. Clearly, this teaching sits in direct opposition to God’s teachings, and (this means us, the people), this really is a major problem. Why, because there are consequences that come from our own actions, even if we say we are just following some other school-of-thought. The problem here is, We just can’t say, “Someone led us astray”. And that is why our life is quite a mess. Jesus came to fix this mess, This makes me ask, where did this “introduced secular-humanistic school-of-thought come from?” “Love yourself and the World above God, is a Falsehood” So, where did just this concept come from?… Ok,… The first specific false teaching, I think …, can be found in the garden of eden, and it was also the first mention of a deliberate attempt of deception/misdirection on this earth. Now, FYI. I have been performing as a Magician since I was 13 years of age. That is over 45 years. I think I can recognize some basic deception and misdirection. Answer this Question: in the garden of eden: what actually did the serpent say to Adam and Eve? Hint: you also can be like…who? Try looking in the book of Genesis. (Genesis 3:5). Yep, I think you should read this. Because I believe, what this is saying; is that neither you, nor any other person with educated knowledge, or idols, or hand made objects for that matter…, is ever going to be … the source of all power in the universe; that’s right, Not a God. And yes, be aware, that when you believe in the actual one true God, you just might find yourself disappointed in the many deceptive claims trying to engulf you and change your thinking. You might even begin to dislike being deceived, and form your own personal convictions against being deceived by certain philosophers philosophies spouting out anti-God-claims. (1 John 2:15-16)… not to worry, this only means, that you don’t like being deceived by the World, and that you’re also moving towards your own Belief in God…. your Personal relationship with God, …your Personal Peace and Redemption! …Yea for You! Please click one below. If you actually, did one of the readings.
I did read 3 chapters of St. John!
I did not read, … and call me “Pharaoh!”
I read some … of the Christmas story in Luke 1: & 2: 1-40
I read more … than 6 chapters of St.John!
I decided to accept the gift of Christ!
This is where – a common man – Bibliography starts (Skip if you don’t need) this is just word Spaghetti, for the skeptical folks that must have this! … Like i kinda needed in my day!
*1 German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The first instance of this statement “God is Dead” is in Nietzsche’s writings in his 1882 The Gay Science. And even here, this Atheist philosopher, gives us a fearful warning of what, he postulated, that most likely this will happen when Men remove a good God from the Equation of Life; Man will simply replace that God with another god that is either: a candy bar, his own narcissistic self, or worse an evil god!
My own Warning: if you continue in this line of research, you just might end up propagandized by “Enlightenment philosophies”. For example: you just might read a montage of false prophet – philosophers teachings, like the Secular Humanistic claims of a what many Missionary Educators call: “The Secular World Prophets“; in Biblical terms, this is often called, false prophets; and in our current Education System, they are the philosophers preaching nonsense.
This is what I am saying, I want you to think beyond “we exist to please ourselves, just answer this, If a prophet of God carries the words and the knowledge of God to declare to the world. Then we can say that a false prophet carries the words of a false god and declares or broadcasts that message to the world. Hmmmm. So, then when a philosopher carries the words and knowledge of himself or a mortal man, and declares that this word is life. What is he then? Often sharp, talented, but very confused minds, claim to be philosophers. An example: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (Truth Fact) is that he hated, with a passion is own writings about “Sherlock Holmes”… Why?…. I believe it was because, he recognized that it was only just fiction, with not much weight, except for entertainment; but he loved his philosophical book ,”The White Company”, and in it, he wrote his own philosophy using a fictional story line. In his writings, he urged the main character, a priest to leave his spiritual calling, and explained it as being much better to become a worldly man of human experience. He was telling you, that’s right …You! By using fiction that, {Fiction, was somehow Non-fiction!}…. and through his writing; you are too wrongly deduce Sherlock, on your own, that this is Doyles wisdom, and the correct way to do life, reject God at all cost, for the love of nothing more, than worldly experiences.} Ok.. That’s a Big Lie. Time to wake up! Doyle simply wanted you to agree with his philosophical point of view. It was Dole’s philosophy that the priest was only wasting his life, doing meaningless nonsense. This book’s philosophy is clearly harmful to anyone considering faith in God, having any level of spiritual belief, or having a spiritual calling, or a spiritually related occupation. The Point: Human philosophies can misdirect ones life in profound ways. We know this… with a little help from St. Ireneaus of Lyons, who wrote “Against Heresies” (*2), Ireneaus, was a father of the early church, he warns us to dissect the teachings of Ptolemy, Valentinius, and the other Greek philosophers, and the Gnostics. He pointed out many teachings, that would be considered heresies. And put in a common language, this is just the peddling of human wisdom as being (god like) divine knowledge. (Click here!) to read specifically about Nietzsche. https://bigthink.com/thinking/what-nietzsche-really-meant-by-god-is-dead/

*3 The Death of God movement was a theological movement that emerged in the United States during the 1960s. It was a response to the rise of secularity and the abandonment of traditional beliefs in God. (Click here) The movement posited that God had either ceased to exist or that the belief in God was no longer relevant
*4 Auguste Comte. (1798-1857). This guy coined the term Sociology in 1838. According to the current Educational System, He is considered the father of both Sociology and Positivism Madness Mayhem by the scientific community. (Click here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwzlGaXWq6k Know this: The crazy hope of establishing a humanist Positivism love, which is a philosophical detraction from God’s love, is expected one day to cover the globe and go around the world; as is seen here, on this countries adopted 1960 National Flag. Nothing wrong with the elements and colors, etc. Just that merely the philosopher’s words imply that a Humanistic love without God is best for our future. I adamantly choose to disagree! And I am simply observing how government/politics merged with man’s education philosophies can influence people! Hmmm …. Think it could possibly influence an entire countries government?) (Click below to observe for yourself) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Brazil
*5 Thaddeus B. Wakeman (Humanist follower of Compt Positivism). He wrote a “New Lords Prayer” … as a Humanist, who thinks that only humans get things correct, and make things happen? We are the master and the one over our ultimate destiny. He, in his own way, believed that humans are really gods! Specifically, kinda god like masters of their own destinies. So, he wrote the lord’s prayer to himself, he also advocated for having all Christians to be thrown in jail? Why? …. for being, as he described; a hindrance to future progress, or progressivism. Hmmm … another weird one perhaps. Ok … weird/false philosophies please get in line and take a number! We gonna deal with the false philosophies one at a time.
