Matthew 7:22-24
“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Romans 1
…that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
God…desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:4)
God knows that the truth is critical for our being saved…
God wants us all to be saved…
And…God knows there is a force out there who lives to steal, kill, and destroy…and deceive…
So, God put the truth inside us because He knows that there is a force out there working actively to prevent us from knowing the truth…
So, if you were working with the forces of darkness to prevent humans from “knowing God” you would need to do something to prevent humans from understanding, interpreting, identifying, and responding to that truth which God put inside them…
So, hmmm…how would you work to make humans fail to recognize the truth that God put on their hearts?
Probably start with the children!
Truth Suppression 101
1. As soon as the humans are born do everything you can to get their parents to dysregulate their bodies so that the baby will not learn how to read his own body’s signals. Convince parents to completely ignore the baby’s body’s signals and fulfill their body’s needs based on an outside system or schedule. Convince mom and dad to completely ignore what the baby says and decide when baby eats, doesn’t eat, sleeps, wakes, etc. In this manner all of the baby’s natural systems will not recognize that their natural drives are to be responded to at all and that all needs come from an arbitrary outside source and that they themselves have nothing to do with the fulfillment of their needs.
2. Convince all humans that the body which they are born with is by nature/naturally God’s enemy so that they will not listen to anything the body has to say. Convince them that their body only wants to do what’s evil so that they will question everything their body tells them. In this way, as the humans question all of their body’s signals they will begin to “suppress the truth”. (This is important because this will ensure that parents fulfill their duty in the dysregulation or else mothers would respond to their babies when they cry because of that truth which is programmed into them. If the mother believes that it is her “flesh” which desires to go to her baby when it cries, she will suppress that truth and not respond to it, and in this way continue with the dysregulating conditioning of the baby.)
3. Convince all humans, that tho’ they are fallible, that under no circumstance is it acceptable for children to question authority. Convince parents to punish children harshly any time the child dares question or argue with the parent. Teach the children that this is disrespectful and will result in pain. This is important training which will make the child less apt to respond to the truth on their heart (for fear of being disrespectful and fear of pain) and make them more apt to blindly accept whatever situation or teaching they find themselves in. This conditioning is essential for truth suppression. In life then…whatever Tom, Dick, or Harry happens to be their pastor and no matter what he teaches them the child raised this way will not think to question or challenge any of it.
And, that seems to me to pretty much get that ball rolling well enough…after that the humans sin training should be smooth sailing!
The truth is so evident…so clear…that God’s wrath is revealed when we suppress it…it’s THAT clear…
