07/08/23 TRUTH IS NOT A THEORY
IF YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS AND REJECT IT, YOU ARE WILLFULLY REJECTING THE OBVIOUS... AT YOUR OWN PERIL
In scientific method, the words, "theory, law, hypothesis and fact" are not used in the same way as in normal conversation. In scientific nomenclature, "theory" is more authoritative and final than the word. (Actually, I think the scientific use of the word has changed since I was a in elementary school). On the other hand, the scientific use of, "law" and "fact" is not authoritative and final.
This next statement is taken from SERP (Strategic Education Research Partnership). This is an historic view concerning the origin and present use of the word, "theory."
QUOTE FROM SERP
"The Theory of a Theory
Wait a second! Isn’t a theory something that we know for sure, knowledge that’s been studied, tested, and proven, like the atomic theory of matter? It’s a serious word, a word that carries weight, right? Researchers study it. Professors teach it. Students are tested on it. Scientifically speaking, that’s true. The dictionary defines “theory” as “a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena.” The germ theory of disease, the cell theory of organisms, and the general theory of relativity are examples of scientific theories that have been built up over time on strong foundations of evidence.
But the word theory has another common meaning that’s nearly opposite! To understand this non-scientific definition, let’s turn to the origin of the word. It comes from the Greek theorin, which means “to look at” or “to observe” or “to speculate.” That term comes, in turn, from the Greek theoros, “a spectator,” which comes from thea, meaning “theater.” Perhaps this connection to the theater is part of the reason the word theory is sometimes used to suggest that something not completely real is going on. Unlike the scientific definition, the common definition leaves room for speculation. It implies that something isn’t proven, that it’s just a hunch."
DLG observes...
Funny how that works. The speculations, the unproven, possible errors of "scientists" become inerrant (by definition) and Divine revelation is discarded as stumbling blocks to knowledge.
Thus, "Science" (so-called) has torpedoed the truths of God, creation, human dignity and exceptionalism and sexuality and family fundamentals, morality, possible enlightenment for human betterment.
This is not a surprise, since mankind has always attempted to choke out God and His revelation, which germinated in the Garden of Eden, flourished in the antediluvian world and then reappeared in Babel. Babel was a self admitted attempt by mankind to overthrow the living God of creation and become the replacement god (which was also the intent of Adam and Eve in the Garden).
Modern, so-called science (aka pseudoscience) has been wanting to kill God and enthrone mankind in His place. As Satan blinded and deceived Eve, and as the spirit of rebellion took over the entire world in the days of Noah, and as the concerted effort of the people Babel sought other deities through ancient astrology, so the modern age is now coming together under a common world language through the computer, and forming a one world economy, a one world government and a one world religion, atop the tower of human attainment in the land of godlessness and chaos.
We are now living in a world where the leaders of government, academia, "science," finance, religion are worshiping and serving Secular Humanism, mocking Biblical truth, persecuting Christ followers. There is a turning from God to self and to outer-space aliens and to technological saviors.
We are watching as the new Tower of Babel (confusion, chaos, rebellion, self aggrandizement) is being built through communications, technology and opposition to Divine revelation.
It is no accident that the Bible tells us in the book of Revelation that the BABEL-ONIAN system will be the predominant political, religious and economic system in the last days.
It is because people have turned away from Divine revelation, and they are turning from common sense, that people are believing insane lies. God tells us in His word that men will turn from truth in the last days because they do not want to obey the truth and be saved.
This will result in God sending strong delusion to those who refuse to be saved and choose to persecute His people.
I hope you will take time to read these two chapters from 2 Thessalonians, because this is NOT THEORY, THIS IS DIVINE, inerrant, infallible REVELATION.
2 Thessalonians 1:3-10 NKJV
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,
4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,
5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;
6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you,
7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,
8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-17 NKJV
1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,
2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.
3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,
17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
