I'm so disappointed the government won't be shut down. Of course, even that was a lie. Rulers never surrender power voluntarily. #Government #Politics #Power

Avoiding Vain Philosophies: The Danger of Speculating About Time Introduction: When Theology Becomes Science Fiction Some words sound theological, but they are not biblical. Concepts like "before time," "outside of time," and "timelessness" are often used in theological discussions, yet they have no scriptural basis. Instead of leading us into truth, they tend to drift into the realm of science fiction. These terms would feel more at home in Back to the Future or Star Trek than in serious Bible study. Yet, many Christians repeat them without question. But is this how God reveals Himself? Or are we allowing human philosophy to redefine the God of Scripture? Where Do These Ideas Come From? When people talk about God being "outside of time," they are not drawing from the Bible but from Greek philosophy, particularly Platonism and Aristotelian metaphysics. Plato taught that the material world is an inferior copy of an eternal, unchanging realm of perfect forms. Aristotle developed the idea of a "Prime Mover"—a being that causes motion but does not move or change itself. Early Christian theologians, influenced by Greek thought, attempted to merge these ideas with the Bible. The result? A concept of God that is static, impersonal, and detached from time and human history. But is this how God presents Himself in Scripture? The Biblical God: A God Who Acts in History From Genesis to Revelation, God is revealed as a living, dynamic, and relational Being who interacts with His creation in real time: God speaks and creates – "And God said, Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3). God walks with man – "And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden" (Genesis 3:8). God responds to prayer – "And God repented of the evil that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not" (Jonah 3:10). God enters history as Jesus Christ – "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14). God has a future plan – "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father" (1 Corinthians 15:24). These passages do not describe a "timeless" deity but a God who engages with His creation in real, unfolding history. Paul’s Warning: Beware of Vain Philosophies Colossians 2:8 warns us: "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." Many theological ideas that pass as "deep truths" are actually vain philosophies that lead believers away from Christ. Instead of focusing on how God actually reveals Himself, people become obsessed with abstract ideas that sound profound but have no scriptural foundation. Paul tells us to guard our minds against these influences. Our theology must be rooted in Scripture, not speculation. Conclusion: Keep Theology Biblical, Not Speculative The Bible never speaks of a "timeless" or "outside of time" God. These ideas do not come from Scripture but from human philosophy and speculation. God acts in real time. God engages in history. God reveals Himself through events, covenants, and relationships. Instead of drifting into abstract, extra-biblical ideas, let’s stick to how God actually presents Himself in Scripture. The moment we go beyond what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6), we risk exchanging biblical truth for philosophical speculation. As Paul warns, let’s not be "spoiled" by vain philosophy. Let’s keep our theology rooted in Scripture, not speculation.

The Self-Defeating Core of Secular Humanism Intro: A Promise That Unravels Secular Humanism pitches itself as a clean break from superstition—a worldview built on reason, human value, and a firm "no" to the supernatural. It sounds appealing: let’s trust our minds and senses to carve out reality, no gods required. But dig into its first principles, and the whole thing starts to wobble. What we found? Its rejection of the supernatural might just be its own undoing. The Pillars That Don’t Hold Start with "Reason as the Primary Tool." Secular Humanists say we know reality through sensory input, logic, and science. Fair enough—bridges stand, planes fly. But why trust our senses? They say, “Because they work,” and point to consistency across people. Yet there’s no deeper root. If I see a tree and you do too, that’s nice, but it’s still a leap to call it "real" without something backing it up. It’s a bet, not a foundation. Then there’s "Human-Centered Values." Humans matter, they say—our well-being, our dignity. But who decides what that means? It’s so broad it’s almost meaningless—just a feel-good nod to “do nice things for people.” Without a cosmic anchor, it’s a preference, not a principle. Fine for a bumper sticker, less so for a philosophy. The Real Kicker: No Supernatural, Yet Miracles Abound Here’s where it falls apart. "Rejection of the Supernatural" is their sharpest edge—no gods, no magic, just nature. Quantifiable, testable. But then you look at their story: lifeless matter somehow sparks into consciousness, and brains from blind evolution crack the universe’s code. That’s not just emergence—it’s miraculous. Life from dead stuff? Reason from random mutations? They call it natural, but it’s awe-inspiring enough to make you squint at the "no miracles" sign. If life’s just an accident of matter, why’s it valuable? If our senses and reason are evolutionary hacks, why trust them to map reality? The rejection of a higher power leaves these as flukes—glorious, improbable flukes. They can’t lean on a deity to explain it, so they’re stuck with a worldview that smuggles in wonder while swearing it’s all mundane. That’s not a principle standing tall; that’s a contradiction tripping over itself. Conclusion: A Tweet-Sized Takedown We boiled it down to this: “Secular Humanism’s ‘no supernatural’ claim collapses: life & reason emerge as miracles from blind matter, shredding its logic. No gods, yet awe haunts it. #PhilosophyFail #SecularHumanism #ReasonUnraveled #MindTheGap.” It’s a house of cards—impressive until you poke it. Maybe reason and human value need more than a shrug to hold them up. What do you think—can it be salvaged, or is it DOA?

God is omnicompetent (Isaiah 46:10). He is able to accomplish His purposes, That doesn’t require exhaustive foreknowledge or determinism. Like a master chess player, He doesn’t dictate every move—He guides, responds, and ensures victory within an open future. #OpenTheism #GodIsFree

"If God simply foreknows the future without determining it, then the future is fixed—neither God nor man is truly free. Foreknowledge without openness leads to fate. Only in Open Theism does God remain free to act, and humans free to choose. #OpenTheism #GodIsFree"
