God Versus DOM (Deification of Man) As one digs through the slop of atheist/humanist {deification of man} arguments, the need is to flush out the brain either with a little prayer with God or a little mental adjustment from the Bible, the Word of God. You have been there when as a witness to truth, you feel the urge to do foot dusting as Jesus told His original disciples when their message was rejected by such a city that deified man; when becomes apparent that such a person or city has gone beyond the point of no return in unbelief by blasphemy against the Holy Spirit; when it is no longer feasible, also as Jesus taught to cast your pearls before the feet of swine. Such is the case of wading through the sloppy mud of Atheism and Humanism like in the book “Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart” by Bayer and Figdor with so much sadness of loneliness without a God, purpose, and meaning to the Universe, so much doubt and confusion that is neither healthy and happy for the human spirit, but primarily because it dishonors God by: (1) Denying His existence, like in one of the 10 major beliefs of F&G, it is stated “There is no God”, just the repeat of it makes a person of faith shudder at the consequences of the ultimate fate in this life and the next for such youth; and (2) Making an idol-god out of Man, herein to be called DOM for Deification of Man, which is really a short form of what you find in Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart. The Bible states it this way in Romans 1:23-25: (1) seeking to show wisdom, one might say “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth”, instead with the ultimate conclusion of humanistic researches they become fools in the eyes of God; (2) they change the image of God into an image of corruptible man, sort of what might call de-evolution rather than evolution; (3) God gives up on any such society--Persian, Greek, Roman, and now American-- to the uncleanness of immorality; (4) they make a mental and heart- felt exchange of the truth of God for a lie of Satan and the “lust of the human heart that covets to envy”; (5) they make a choice in favor of the Religion of Atheism, which worships and serves the Creature more than the Creator. Atheism is a religion that says, “My, my, what Man at his best can do”; and further, “Just look at what societies of Men are going to do in global evolution like the Arab Spring led by the internet”, another lie which ignores the fact that ISIS is winning, and will win until the time soon in history when they make the mistake of an attack on Jerusalem. Pretty strong language, perhaps you would like to read it for yourself in the original words from God in Romans through the Apostle Paul: “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." (Romans 1:22-25) NOTES: (1). For the rest of this Bible session, "God Verus DOM (Deification of Man), click on the lin below "GodversusDOM" and for the second part on "GodversusDOMers2".
