Uncovering the Lie part two

I'm sorry, I wasn't able to post all we talked about on Saturday. We talked about the practical implications for Post Modernism beliefs in a person's life. I was not able to finish my thought on the last post because I needed to get off the computer immediately. The problem that stares me in the face in this belief is it justifies every belief that is out there as being valid. That means if someone, who is doing awful things in the name of their beliefs, thinks they are right to do so then it is okay. That bye the way justifies the Holocaust as a noble cause to the Nazi beliefs.

If you are one of those who thinks all paths lead to God, then I have a legitimate question for you. This comes from Ravi Zacharias who is a wonderfully intelligent man. If I were to take a small child and upon the belief that could gain enlightenment, cut them up and ate them, would I have done something morally wrong?
I think the state of your soul would depend upon the answer to this question.

With this in mind people have tried to redefine morals. Morality is up to the individual and their interpretation on what is given to them. In essence I will say what is right and wrong to me because my salvation lies within myself. We have removed God and made ourselves Gods. And everyone has this divine freedom as long as we don't hinder someone else in doing so. Or hurt them, to our best definition of hurt. That means I need to keep up to date on what the media and society itself says is the standard for morality. Something has to give me direction so it might as well be everyone else. And more importantly by saying your values and beliefs come from within makes you self-righteous. Which is something all people should avoid.

This is a lie. One of our members put it like this at the meeting. When we have a headache why do we take a pain pill. If we are hungry, thirsty, or tired why do we resort to something that will not solve the problem. We cover up the problem so we don't have to think about it, or numb it enough so it is not so intense on ourselves. We change or distort a truth so it conforms to our choices in life. A person can live his life according to his beliefs or change their beliefs to justify how they want to live.
God is real. I'm not going to debate that now. His standards are reality in the means of morality and everything else. You can say that I'm out on the corner having a smoke but that won't change the fact that I'm sitting here typing. You cannot alter reality to fit your desires. For there to be anything called truth then there must be concrete meaning to words, actions, and values.

If this has touched you or opened you eyes then I'm happy for you. I tell you there is a man who can take away those stains in your life and then offer you love that is eternal. You only need to be humble and accept his love for you. And if you want to know if he is real then ask him to show himself to you, he will answer. It only takes a prayer for less than a minute and heart that is ready to accept. I pray that you could hear this a really search for the truth in your soul. And may God speak to all who read this and bless them.
