Is Common Sense From God? by kokoye(m): 3:01pm On Oct 25, 2012
I have heard this saying a few times:

"There is the common sense way and there is also the God way"

I believe there is good and bad and we all (mostly) know the difference, even if we have the free will to do what we want..which may be the bad at times. And we also know that not all that glitters (or sounds good) is gold.

The common sense I'm referring to is not the same as the 'wise' used in the bible. It is the ability to identify right from wrong; the use of caution and understanding; the ability to fear the Lord and depart from evil.

Hence the harmless question.

Thanks and God bless.

Can you give a couple of examples of problems and the "common sense way" and "god's way"?

rationality is from God.......you can't get a rational from an irrational
absolute morality is also from God

Here's a quote (below) from this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/1081418/dont-love-him-he-said


"..every born again christian would find out sooner or later that there are two ways of handling every issue. The 'common sense' way and the 'God' way."
