Stop trying to hang on to the old! As long as the old is used, the new can not be used.

Here are two reasons to throw the old away as soon as we can. The old views affect our confidence in what we are doing as well as distorts what is right.

One of the significant differences between these two groups is seen below.

Man's View Man's view leads to no confidence. No confidence
God's View God's view leads to great confidence.
Confidence
With so many different views fighting for recognition, there is no way any view could give much confidence. There is always another teacher, a newer view, an updated version, etc. But just think, what makes them correct?

Any pressure put on their reasonings soon break apart as a shell of an egg. Any pressure put on their reasonings soon break apart as a shell of an egg. For them meaning is coincidental. Design is accidental. There are no absolute reasons that what has been should be the way they have been. They profess to not know any answers and do not like those who say they have them.

Our question is why are they so sure if they really do not know. They are only guessing. They do not believe in a pattern so they dare not see one. They only know they want to protect what they are doing. In the end their desired behavior shapes their viewpoints.

Meaning and purpose are built into God's created world. We observe the design and rulesof the world. God has revealed to us the meaning of life in the Bible. Man's many viewpoints cannot compare to God's built-in design for this world and our lives.

But if those who believe the Bible are so confident that they are right, then why is it that they are willing to care for those who have been hurt through their 'alternate' lifestyle?

Knowledge can make one proud, but on the other hand, we also have been able to become vulnerable because of our confidence. We all have come from the same pile of dirt. The difference is that we have experienced God's loving grace to bring us out of immoral behavior to be fully accepted in Christ as His adopted children through Jesus. God's world runs on love. We all can come to God.



"But he who practices the truth comes to the light,
that his deeds may be manifested
as having been wrought in God."
John 3:21
