IDEOLOGIES,PHILOSOPHIES AND REALITY

There are endless ideologies - political and religious - that have developed and have dominated the human race since the Babel dispersion 4,200 years ago (Genesis 10, 11:1-9). These ideologies are all rooted in the fallen humanity (i.e., inherent depravity) of man, and are ruled by his sensual nature (i.e., the five senses that govern fallen man in this physical world).

Well, when you write those articles, you might try to relate what you say in Biblical terms to the connected-item in today’s terms. Otherwise, all people hear is religious terms and no connection to what is happening today.

One example would be how does this happen? You said — “Humanity had abandoned truth and reality for a delusion and a lie.”

You could go into Post-modernism and the thinking of “today” whereas most people are trained to believe that there are no “absolutes” and that all truth if “relative” (of course, a lot of that was going on in Jesus’ days, too, by the question asked by Pilate, “What is truth?”). You’re going to have to give examples or else it will fly right over the heads of those who probably need to listen to it, the most.

People will (these days) dismiss religious language, unless there can be shown some connection between it and the things going on today and the thinking (i.e., worldviews, etc.).

I think post-modernism is a big item in that area, to be explained and what it means. How does it even affect the *mere understanding* of what the Bible says, much less whether it says is true or not?

If this isn’t done, in explaining things in connection to what is going on today, in today’s terms, then Christians are talking to themselves and no one else — and even then, a significant number of Christians don’t even understand it...

ST my brother...
Thanks for your insight. This was more of a panoramic view of the ideologies of humanity. This post is pertaining to the day we live in and all the countless ideologies of humanity..ect.. at hand..
Some Biblical insight. I do usually compare the days current events with insight from the Bible.
This forum is a “Religion” forum though so if do not do that and stay biblical.. is that not what people are coming to a "Religion” forum for?
It's just a blog and I don't want to get into countless pages of apologetics. There are many links on the IF Blog for people to do in depth studies if they want to follow it through. I'm just fishing and trying to get people to consider the realities of Almighty God's Word and enjoy them.. some will and some won't. It's up to the individual reader to choose. I'm just a vessel in the Master's hand.
To God be the Glory! thanks and All of God's best for you,
Dave

Well, today, the first article that shows up is from Jan Markell. I listen to her all the time (and everyone else, should to, whomever is a Christian, and it wouldn’t hurt non-Christians, either... :-) ...).

There is a big archive of her radio programs at —
