Greetings and blessings to all of you. The word of God says, “the Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any who understand, any who seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy; there is none that do good, no, not one.” (Psalm 14:2,3) That is an adequate definition of a Humanist. This is saying that a man without God is {void of understanding.} You may have higher education; you may be a very studious person of the world affairs. But you must stop and ask the question, why are we in such a mess today? Maybe you are not aware that dedicated “humanist/good people” are attacking the authority of the Bible, and assaulting the historicity of Jesus Christ. Also, there is an increasing pervasive godlessness and a militant relativism in our culture, the moral rulebook is being re-written, right has become wrong and wrong right. To top all of this off…. if we Christians proclaim the message of Christ ‘that we are sinners that need a Savior and Jesus is the only Savior’ we are considered as people who spread intolerance /hate. Man does not desire to worship God Almighty…Man wants to worship himself, his education, his money, his status, and his physical appearance. Humanist may have the facts…but he does not have THE TRUTH. (II Tim. 3:7-8) “always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth…men of depraved minds.” They refuse to see the truth. Secular (other things or attitudes that have no religious or spiritual basis) humanist lives as if there is no authority except themselves. God is somewhere “out there” or in nature (Pantheism)but wherever He is or not.. an(oxymoron) for sure…He left us here to run our own life because we are educated…we are constantly progressing without Him. What a Lie! God said in Proverbs 3 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will make your paths straight.” In contrast sinful believers acknowledge their sins, repent, and lean on the Lord for strength grace and mercy to continue on in the way of the Lord. God has warned us as believers “I urge you brother to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery deceive the minds of naïve people.” (Rom. 16:17-18)
