GOD AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF RELATIVISM



In the time of no time, God forged out
the soils of foundation with wisdom and
created the magnificence of the Heavens
with understanding. Out of His
unimaginable power and might, He
made man and directed man’s steps into
earth. Man dwelled in Eden and from
there; with events we all are familiar
about, spread forth and propagated
himself throughout the surface of earth.
Quite alright, the aim of this article is to
bring out the opinion of God about the
ever growing issue of the 21 st century’s
theory of relativism. This insight came
while I was skimming through the pages
of the Devotional manual – “The Open
Heaven” . A chapter in the manual gave a
scope into the theory of relativism. It’s
more or less the way the world has
perceived some mundane immoral
practices. The philosophy of relativism
dictates that all verdicts of judgment
given, relates to the people involved; In
other words, It means a judgment issued
suits the opinion of the people
concerned. That is, whether an action is
right or wrong, it depends on the moral
norms of the society in which it is
practiced. The same action may be
morally right in one society but be
morally wrong in another.
The philosophy of relativism says that all
truth is relative and that there is no such
thing as absolute truth. But one has to
ask: is the claim “all truth is relative” a
relative truth or an absolute truth ? If it is
a relative truth , then it really is
meaningless; how do we know when and
where it applies?
{ www.gotquestions.org/what-is-
truth.html}

God does not support relativism when it
comes to decision and judgment. God’s
principles are standard and they will
and can never bend to people’s ideas!.
“My ways are not thy ways, My thoughts
are far higher than yours; as the Heavens
are higher than earth”. That is to say,
God’s tenets, philosophy and truth are
ABSOLUTE!.
Well, this essay would be meaningless if
there is/are no concrete examples to
back this composition up. Here are
suitable examples with some notes to it –


HOMOSEXUALITY, BESTIALITY &
TRANSGENDER; Yes, homosexuality is an
immoral derivative of the philosophy of
relativism. This act, alongside
transgender, preaches the belief that
some People who appear to the naked
eye as Men were created by God with
feminine souls(So in vice-versa with
Women believing that they have
masculine souls).Bestiality also preaches
a similar ignorance{The mundane
conclusion that animals have souls and
that they also deserve to enjoy the
necessities of the flesh e.g this is better
illustrated by the story of a young Italian
woman who goes around proclaiming
that she is a cat, closed up in an human
body}.This berates the set standard of
God as it pictures him as an Amateur
and imperfect being who creates things
shabbily for the doctors on earth to
correct. God’s standard are not
imperfect and they have never been.

OCCULTIC MONOTHEISM; Some sets of
Christians believe that Jesus Christ the
Son is not the only way to the Father.
They believe that there are other sons of
God who can serve as other channels to
God{This is different from Voodoo
actually}. Demons posing as sons of God
(You would here names like Olympians,
Nephilims, Divination gods, Gypsieae
e.t.c). These are not sons of God!, They
are demonic media. King Saul attempted
conversing with their likes at Endor, We
all know how his story ended. This leads
to nothing else than paganism and
ignorant spiritism. Spiritism so deep, it
eats up the soul and leaves nothing less
than vanity, fetish and a generational
inheritance of misery. The pagan would
not call it fetish, he would rather call it
“A raw form of divinity”. God hates this
idea so much he gave a death sentence
to it in the book of Exodus. Jesus
emphasized further in the book of John
–“No one cometh to the father except
through the son” (). Picturing God as
been relative to lesser gods isn’t ideal. It
is even ridiculous.

SATAN’S GIMMICKS: It is saddening to
hear that some people still believe that
Satan didn’t receive a fair trial before he
was cast out for rebellion. What fair trial
would you give a Being that belittled God
and saw himself higher than the
Master?. A lot of folklore tales have
found their way into the core of
Christianity and sincerely, it seems they
have come to stay. Tales like, Satan can
sometimes allow a soul damned to hell to
be freed and go back to earth for
retribution (In other words,
reincarnation). This is a Hollywood
fiction which can never take hold in the
realest sense. The Bible says “It is
appointed for man to die once.”

THE ATHEIST AND HIS VIEWS: The 21 st
century atheist seems the practicable
type. He typically believes there is no
God. He preaches his opinion and makes
everyone aware of His Hatred for the
Existence of God!. Waooh, that’s
relativism. The absolute truth about
atheism is that – “Atheist don’t hate God
because he doesn’t exist; You cannot hate
that which does not exist, otherwise its
Insanity; Atheist hate Jehovah because he
exists”. If you need prove, do kindly
have a chit - chat with an atheist. Their
views are born of Absolute hate, not
relative nothingness.

OPEN MARRIAGES ; This seems
interesting but in the principled sense, is
a horrible eyesore to the wedded people.
Open marriages suggest that a partner
might not be able to fulfill the intimate
desires of his/her spouse and thus; he or
she can look outside and have
extramarital partner(s) so as to satiate
the “desire”. In other words, this
relativistic phenomenon sees no fault or
immorality in having an extramarital
affair. It portrays a view, which dictates
that pure monogamy without an
extramarital “checkmate/buffer/funfare”
is nothing but a boring and “weird”
communion. Hmmmmmmm, hear the
truth; dearest reader, God’s deeds are
absolute and sure; He created marriage
solely for two appropriate entities, not as
an avenue to stray into heinous and
demonic copulatory adventures.

SPIRITUALITY AS A SCIENCE: Well, it is
also surprising to hear that a class of
Scientists see Spirituality as a science
that has not been understood. People
deceiving people(chuckles). You can not
equate a divine world as being relative
to the “E =MC^2” principle. It is a pitiful
waste of time.

Lastly, there are a few sects of
‘supposed and paranoid Christians” who
believe physical punishment, incest and
self-mutilation are perfect and holy ways
of acquiring a higher state of spiritual
existence!(I laugh deeply at this). I would
not mention names for the upkeep of life
and legacy, but I would say frankly; This
is pathetically wrong and unbiblical. In
addition, the points stated above are
strongly supported by some reprobate
and dampened “men-of-god/preachers/
pastors/evangelist”. These group of
people would state openly saying there
are no sin or offenses in relativism;
opining that God is logical being who
understands and permits all
discrepancies……………. Dear reader!.
Run away from such people!!, Flee their
path and embrace the Truth.
May the Lord God Almighty be with us
all and guide our earthly paths to his
Absolute love in Jesus' nam!.. Amen..

Christians and even other religions will always ask skeptical questions about God, His ways and His People: Why did he create man? Why this? Why that?
We need people to clear the air as best as possible for these questions asked.

A question that got my attention is the front page topic of Why he created the tree of good and evil if He knew Adam and eve was going to sin.

I've prepared the best answer gotten from researches and the link below:

This should answer best, the lingering questions being asked about this tree.

emusmith:
Hello Friends,

With so many threads created here; some "Front Page Worthy" and others "NOT Front Page Worthy", we would love to really have a more organized and impactful section that will make Front Page more often than it has been.


For example:


TOPIC: Sex Destroyed Me; Took Away My Luck. I Need Help

LINK: https://www.nairaland.com/2248983/sex-destroyed-me-took-away



After taking this step, don't bother reminding myself and other moderators/supermods to move it to Front page because if it is Front Page Worthy, it will surely make Frontpage in the Appropriate Time.

Consider this thread a clarion call to sanitizing the Religious Section. In the bid to doing so, the following information needs to be well understood:


1. Do not discriminate any belief you know little or nothing about. If you must contribute, do that with courtesy, respect and maturity.


2. Religion lay emphasis on a Higher Being, be it Christianity, Islam, Buddhaism etc and I believe they all promote good living, kindness, love and respect. Through your help, we'll ensure(the best way we can) all these virtues are being restored to this section.


3. Before creating or quoting any thread, remember the rules of Nairaland. They will be enforced on anyone who breaks them


NB: Only Religious Threads Are Allowed Here!


Questions and Complaints will also be taken.


Thank You.

Tracts: A Fundamental Tool For Evangelism

https://www.nairaland.com/3053391/tracts-fundamental-tool-evangelism

1) You’re More Attractive!
Do you want to be more attractive? Simple. Smile! Research has proven that we find others more attractive when they are wearing a smile. This one is a no-brainer, but for the sake of helping it land in your mind, think about someone who you know and think of first when they are down, sad, angry, frustrated, whatever it may be. How attractive are they? Now picture them simply with a smile on their face. What does this do to their attractiveness? If you took the time to do this exercise, I’m sure you would have easily found the smiling version much more attractive, and maybe this even made you feel a happy tingle inside yourself! This leads to my next point.
2) You Can CHANGE THE WORLD! A Smile is Contagious!
Have you ever been in a sour mood and then someone has come along with a huge smile, some laughter or in a really good mood? Perhaps a baby that just looked up at you and smiled? How did this make you feel? When the person you are talking to or the people that surround you are smiling, you won’t be able to help but smile!
A smile has special powers. You can calm fear, insecurity, hurt and anxiety not only in yourself, but in those that are experiencing those feelings. The next time someone is feeling sad, scared, nervous, whatever it may be, smile with them and see how this makes them feel!
Even 2Pac, the rap legend that passed away realised the benefits of smiling, in his lyrics to ‘Power of a Smile’ he raps:
The power of a gun can kill, and the power of fire can burn
The power of wind can chill, and the power of mind can learn
The power of anger, can raise inside until it tears you apart
But the power of a smile, especially yours, can heal a frozen heart
A smile is a contagious thing. Give to the world and the world will give back to you. Smile at the world and the world will smile back at you. You will brighten the days of those around and make a difference in their lives… simply by smiling!
3) Grow Old Sexily!
Wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles! Something that we all don’t want to have, however it is something that comes to us all leaving permanent marks of our emotional feelings throughout life. Smiling throughout life will NOT mean you won’t get wrinkles… I wish it did! It WILL however mean that you will have permanent marks of happiness and when you speak with those later in life, you will automatically be smiling!
You also use fewer muscles to smile than you do for frowning. Hopefully you’re smiling now as you read this, but if not, smile now! … Now that you have tried smiling, try and frown. Which one do you think is easier? I would definitely say smiling is the easier of the two, and therefore stretching your muscles and skin less throughout life to grow old sexily!
4) Simply Feel Good!
When you’re smiling, no doubt you’re having a much better time than when you’re not! Smiling simply makes you feel better!
Research has shown that smiling releases serotonin – a neurotransmitter that produces feelings of happiness and wellbeing. It’s like a circle of happiness. Smile and you feel happy, you feel happy and you smile! Even when you’re not feeling great, try smiling, genuinely, and see how you feel!
5) Build Better, Faster Relationships!
Smiling is such a key ingredient for establishing healthy and genuine friendships. When someone is smiling at you it indicates that they like you. When someone likes you what do you think of them? Yep, normally you’re thinking “wow, I like this person!” Smiling also offers encouragement to the person that you are talking to. Think about it, if someone is smiling at you while you are talking to them, you feel as though they are totally into what you are saying, encouraging you to keep going!
Smiling is crucial when it comes to first impressions. Smiling when you first meet someone will indicate to the other person that you are genuinely happy to see them and that you are a positive person. These impressions will be lasting on the other person so definitely not one to miss!
6) Enhance your Business!
Business deals can be made simply through smiling. One of the first things that sales people quickly learn is to smile. Who would you rather buy something from? The sales rep that looks bored, down, angry, frustrated or whatever it may be, or from the sales rep that is simply smiling and happy to see you? The messages that they convey in conversation will link back to how they are feeling. A smiling person would be much more enthusiastic for the product and instil positive feelings in the buyer.
Even telesales have got a hold on this. Now sales reps that are on the other side of the phone are encouraged to smile when they talk as the smile is conveyed in how the person is talking!

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP ON SMILING

Basically, Nigerian women have interesting qualities. Firstly, they know all the tricks in the world to make you do their bidding and then they could turn on their drama skills and use some fast lines on you too.
Growing up with many Nigerian women around could make you possess one or two of their traits and start to act like them yourself. There are certain qualities that Nigerian women exhibit; and you know for sure that you have been transformed into one when you start doing the following:
1. When you bargain in the market till you are insulted
Don’t bother paying, come and steal it
Have you tried going to the market with a Nigerian woman? It even becomes more dramatic if she is a mother as she would want to cut down her budget by all means to save money.
Nigerian women have the habit of bargaining in the market till market sellers insult them and ask them to take the wares without paying. When you start to do this, just know you are gradually transforming into a typical Nigerian woman.
2. When you can talk with your eyes
Most Nigerian women expect their children to understand body signs and languages. Your mother could hit you for failing to understand some sign she gave you with her eyes.
Overtime, these signs become a part of the children too. When you start to use your eyes to tell someone to pick up money from the floor, then you have succeeded in becoming a typical Nigerian woman.
3. When you cannot do little chores by yourself
Nigeria is blessed with a lot of hardworking women. Most of these women display this all the time and train their children to do likewise. However, they love being pesky for no reason.
You know you have become a typical Nigerian woman when you start to ask your children to get you an object you could get for yourself. And worse still, when you start to use your mouth to point out directions.
4. When you make retorts without thinking them through
Sorry for yourself!
Most Nigerian women seem to have ready-made answers. Try not to offend any of them or risk being compared to an object you despise.
In other cases, they show their frustration by making statements that showcase their efforts. When a child says he/she is hungry, they retort by saying ‘Come and eat me.’
5. When you cannot accept simple apology
To err is human and to forgive is divine, they say; offending a Nigerian could feel like hell. Nigerian women could be very difficult at times. You know you have been initiated when someone tells you sorry and you cannot help saying ‘Sorry for yourself.’
6. When you do not understand the term picnic anymore
All these for a picnic?
This is noticeable when you intend going for a picnic and you pack all the things you could think of. You know you are a typical Nigerian woman when you pack wrappers and many things that would be considered inappropriate. This attitude extends into you packing things needed for a year for a journey that would last a week.
7. When you become judgmental
Nigerian women see themselves as women who are chastised. They understand the word decency and try being moderate in everything they do. You know you have transitioned into a typical Nigerian woman when you cannot help opening your mouth when you see a girl walking half naked.
