Worldviews in conflict assignment

I have struggled with the enlightenment notion myself because I find it hard sometimes not to believe that human nature is essentially good. The truth of the matter is, due to the Adamic fall, we are all inherently evil, sinful people ??? until we allow God to transform us, that is. Once that happens, we take on His nature and are no longer creatures of sin. Our past failures are forgiven and washed away by the precious Blood of the Lamb and we become godly men and women. We must, however, make a daily, conscious choice to walk in the path of holiness or we can very easily become entangled with the bondage of sin again.

Galatians 5: 1, warns us against this very thing:” Be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. ” (KJV. ) It is interesting to note the origin of the word “ Prometheus” (as cited as one of the publishers in my reference page). According to the ‘ cultural dictionary,’ “ Prometheus?? has?? become?? a?? symbol?? of?? lonely?? and?? valiant resistance?? to?? authority. ” We need to be careful what we allow to enter our minds. Make a conscious choice to read godly, edifying books that will promote the Kingdom of God, not tear it down by creating doubt and confusion in our minds. Studies in neuroscience have shown that the human brain treats vividly imagined events and real ones almost identically. ” (Parsley, 2007, p. 34). If you think your videogames, daydreams, television shows, horror movies, murder mysteries, romance novels, etc. , are harmless because they are all “ fantasy” ??? think again!! When you don’t know what you stand for, it is easy to be persuaded to change your beliefs. Without a solid foundation, anything goes. I am personally thankful for my Biblical convictions, and knowledge of the Truth — for being established on the Word of God.
