God And The Philosophy Of Relativism by IkembaCMD(m): 11:52pm On Feb 26, 2016
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 21st 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 –
1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.”


4. THE ATHEIST AND HIS VIEWS: The 21st 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.
5. 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.

6. 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 =MC2” principle. It is a pitiful waste of time.


7. 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 offences 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.
