Why the Ignorant Think Themselves so Smart

Incoherence of Evil’s Balance: Except My Own!
Dunning-Kruger Curve Applied to Good-Evil Balance

My previous post, Innocence of Evil, sought to explain why Christians can still sin. In fact, I sought to explain why people ignore their own evil, sin, while judging evilness in others. However, this post may have been too esoteric for many. No one believes themselves to be evil; therefore, to get people to grasp their own inherent evilness is incoherent to many. Remember, the purpose of one’s worldview is to make YOU the hero of your own story. Any suggestion that you are indeed evil is unfathomable, incoherent, illogical. Your worldview makes it so; thus, you are captive to a delusion of your own making. Since all begin life as children of Satan, all worldviews are patterned after his own delusional worldview (Jn 8:44; 2Th 2:3-12). This post approaches this subject from a different perspective; i.e., the balance of evil. Continue reading “Incoherence of Evil’s Balance: Except My Own!” →

Innocence of My Evil

Personal Evil Begins at Conception

Innocence of My Evil {Sin}
Begins at Conception (Ps 51:5)

I have not met or read anyone admitting that he or she awoke and decided to do evil, of whatever ilk. The most notorious political leaders of the 2oth century which people today point back to as the personification of evil, never saw themselves as evil. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Churchill and FDR all saw themselves as justified in pursuing their policies for the betterment of their people and themselves; yet, each leader was responsible for millions of deaths either overtly or covertly. In my over forty years of speaking to people about God’s salvation, the one consistent fact is that people do not see themselves as sinners, evil; hence, they do not need Christ’s salvation (Ro 3:21-24). To rephrase a line from Benjamin Franklin in the play, 1776, “Evil is only observed in the third personal, ‘your evil’ but never in the first person, ‘my evil!'” (Mt 7:1-5) Continue reading “Innocence of My Evil” →

Why the Process of Suffering?

by LeeS, posted in Doctrine, Philosophy

This question plagues the lost and often
Confounds the saved; yet, God has an answer

Why is there evil in the World? How one answers this question is determined by one’s method of reading and understanding the Bible, hermeneutics; one’s prevailing worldview; and one’s position relative to God and His salvation. James tells us one obvious reason people suffer: they covet what others have and seek to obtain by force that which was not theirs (Ja 4:1-4). This places the blame squarely on each individual; however, theodicy seeks to explain evil by blaming God. Thus, sinful man ducks responsibility making God responsible for evil and thus morally incapable of righteously judging sin since He is the author of evil and must first judge Himself.

Evolutionary Morality an Oxymoron

If Morality Arose from Humanity
Then Humanity Defines Morality

This is an example of circular reasoning, an informal logical fallacy. The conclusion arises from the cause and the cause defines the conclusion; the problem, one has not made a case for the conclusion based on provable premises. Unfortunately, this logical error occurs all too frequently in discussions, especially in the media where time is of the essence so various stereotypical images or types are substituted as proof for one’s forced dilemma conclusion (yes, another logical fallacy).

Tree of Knowledge, Death, Life

Ouroboros Triad
Dragon – Satan
Snake – Man
Tree of Knowledge

As I sat to write this final post of the Ouroboros Triad I had to step away for some reflection. The focus of many is on the tree. Was it an apple, a pomegranate, or was it something that had nothing to do with the type of tree at all?  The issue is not the tree, the issue was, and is, the knowledge of good and evil.
