Common Sense belongs to the Righteous!

The use of your Biblical Mindset to produce knowledge and Understanding for developing 

Righteous Thoughts!

How can one start to develop Biblical knowledge which will yield understanding, wisdom, truth and discernment? I would think that you must study, you must do some research. You may have to make an intensive intellectual effort to study in order to gain Yahweh’s approval. Does not the Word of Yahweh say that we should study?[i]

We must study the scriptures with readiness of mind, searching the scriptures daily to seek the truth and test the words of men and women to see whether we can believe the words of the men and women who teach and preach the words of Yahweh. [ii]

We know that the Bible claims to be the inspired Word of Yahweh.[iii]

It is an instruction in righteousness and the Ruach HaKodesh is the author of the Bible.[iv]

But we also know that the human race has the tendency to violate Yahweh’s TORAH. And that is he continuously adds to and take away from what He has written.[v]

Mankind has set a trap for himself. He has decided to make his own laws and to place his laws above the laws of Yahweh. Man has decided that Yahwehs laws are too burdensome when in reality they are not burdensome.[vi]

So then, let us come to the first conclusion about this matter. Mankind is not capable of performing righteousness, and why is that? We have heard from the Prophet Jeremiah. He says the hearts of men is desperately wicked and that no one can know it.[vii]

Of course one can say that there are some people in our world and certainly in our society who are good and strive to do the right thing towards their fellow human being and animals. But man has been given over to a reprobate mind.[viii] 

With that kind of mindset can he have when has no idea what is right and what is wrong. In most cases, man thinks he knows God but in reality he knows the gods of his mind and worships that god of his religion, his tradition, his philosophy and himself. He has never known YHVH.[ix]

He is a fool and that is what the Bible says he is.[x]

He will spend his whole life living a narcissistic lifestyle, seeking gratification, vanity, and pride, and ego, admiration for self, ignorant and stupid.[xi]

Finally we are told that in the end man has an appointment. And you know what that appointment will be about[xii]

Yahweh is watching and listening to human communication

  Yahweh is watching this world, He can see and hear that humanity is profane in its communication. Man is deceived and corrupt. Almost all of the earth’s population shows no respect toward Yahweh in their visual, written or verbal communication, man is a blasphemer. He speaks with irreverence and is a lover of the use of foul language. Cursing and swearing day and night, they constantly profane the name of Adonai and speak of Him with evil intent. Humankind issues oaths in His name using ungodly words to bring forth a curse in place of a blessing. Adonai/Elohim has said, “Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of Yahweh. He is the Creator of the Universe”.(63) 

Man’s communication has set the world on fire, it is evil and it contaminates life. Man’s speech is like a scorching fire. The word of Yahweh says, “But I tell you that men will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every careless word they have spoken”. Lying lips and deceitful tongues have caused much damage in the world. The tongues of man are like flaming torches, setting the whole world ablaze, spreading fear and terror in every phase of life. This evil type of human communication will continue until Adonai brings judgment upon the exchange of corrupt ideas among men. (64) 

The word of Adonai reminds men that “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love to talk will have to eat their own words”. The evil man cannot seem to keep his mouth shut, “When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise”. Evil men talk too much, they lack wisdom. (65) 

The word of Adonai says, “You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. There should not be any obscenity, foolish conversation or vulgar joking, which are out of place, but rather speak of thanksgiving. “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone”. Do you not know that the “Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious, but a fool is consumed by his own lips”. This is what Adonai has to say about your speech, “Let no corrupt communication precede out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers”.(66)

The conversations of the world 

Consider this scripture: “Now the whole world had one language and a common speech”, Gen. 11:1 (AMP). Is not man speaking one language again? 

Review the scriptures and references in the footnotes. Try to understand the speech of men. Think about humanity’s communication, do not be concerned on the method he uses to commune with, but think about what he says when he uses these methods. 

Take note of the following quotation taken from John Enlows book “The Seven Mountain Prophecy”: (E) 

For our purposes, media refers to the news outlets that report and establish the news. Therein lies the power of the media-they can actually create the news. They can turn a non-story into a big story and turn what should be huge stories into non-stories. Media outlets include television stations and networks, web sites, newspapers, radio stations, and magazines. 

Let us also include other forms of communication that has been recently invented and still growing in the area of “The electronic media, today’s form of Communication”.  (MW) 

What do you think?

Does man’s speech edify? Does his speech teach a person to improve the mind or character? Does the speech of man educate, inspire or nurture the spirit.

 Does his speech produce confusion, leads to darkness, obscure thinking and manifest perplexity of spirit?

The real communication specialists to the planet earth are.  According to Ron Phillips, Senior Pastor of Abba House, are “The Angels” (RP)

Where is your head?

Deception

Are you warped or distorted? Perhaps bubble or maybe your head is full of vapor? Could be you have no idea what direction you should be going in? Should you be moving forward or going backwards or it may be possible you have to go back to the beginning to learn the truth!

 

What were the Prophet Jeremiah's continuing tears?  He said, "Everyone deceives his neighbor and does not speak the truth, they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves committing iniquity." Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, "declares the LORD. Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, I will refine them and assay them; for what else can I do, because of the daughter of my people? [1] 

 

Deceitful

Are you a sneaky, falsehearted or deceptive person? Could it be that you are scheming, crafty or treacherous?

The Apostle Paul had something to say about false prophets. "But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ? No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.[2]

 

 

 

Deceptive 

Are you illusory, deceiving or perhaps a hoaxer?

Again what does the Apostle Paul tell us about some of these false prophets? "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this".[3]

 

Delusion

Why do people believe the greatest lie ever told?

The Apostle Paul had this to say about the man of sin in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11. "That is, the one who's coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false".

 

{Q}. and what is the greatest lie ever told? 

{A}. the Law has been done away with.

 

Deception is the act of making someone believe something that is not true: the act of deceiving someone 

Delusion is an act or statement intended to make a person believe something that is not true.
