An atheist is a double-minded person, because he knows deep down that there is a GOD (The One, the Only, Magnificent LORD GOD Almighty). The atheist sees GOD's works all around him, yet out of rebellion against his CREATOR, the man will say that GOD doesn't exist. This is double-mindedness in the purest sense. It's no different than satan wanting to be GOD, even though the devil knows with damn certainty that he's not. It takes a lot of mental and spiritual pollution in the forms of pride, arrogancy and rebellion to create that kind of self delusion. The Bible says, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isa 5:20).
Isaiah 29:15 "Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?"Isaiah 29:16 "Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?"
Satan and his world system follow the law of reversal or the "turning of things upside down". Same sex marriage is an example of a law of reversal, because it goes against nature and GOD's laws. It takes a worldwide hive mindset of hypocrisy in order for the great apostasy to occur. The minds of the entire world are being conditioned right now for the arrival of satan, the antichrist, posing as Messiah. Mankind will worship a carnal savior, because they have been eating out of satan's hand for a very long time. So the law of reversal is actually a law of disobedience and rebellion against GOD. It's a law of hypocrisy and apostasy, the very law of antichrist.
Double standards; feminism; political correctness; apec and nadir fallacies (forms of "cherry picking" factoids); even social media such as facebook (or "fake"book) are commonly employed strategies and exercises in doublethink or double-mindedness. The end result is a mind filled with perspectives, beliefs, ideas or values that don't mix or align together. When the mind listens to enough propaganda and false doctrines, it's only a matter of time before it begins holding two or more contrary beliefs, ideas or values, simultaneously.
Sheep are loyal to eat. If they dine from the table of the devil and eat his doctrines, then who's sheep are they? What if the feeding trough is situated in a stable, which is decorated as a Christian place of worship? Then, satan must own a lot of sheep. Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you or butters your bread? Of course not. If a person thinks and acts like a devil, even eats out of his hand, what does that make him? A devil.
John 4:22 [Christ's words] "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews [out of Judah; the King line]."John 4:23 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the FATHER in spirit and in truth: for the FATHER seeketh such to worship Him."John 4:24 "GOD is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
The true worshippers of GOD must worship Him in Spirit and Truth. The Trinity is the GOD The FATHER, SON (Jesus CHRIST) and HOLY SPIRIT of Truth. Jesus is the Living WORD; He is Truth. With that said, you can begin to understand why many individuals are worshipping a different Jesus (2 Cor 11:4), because the traditions of men and false doctrines don't add up to Truth. How can anyone worship and love someone that they don't know? There are millions of passengers, on satan's dark ride, with Bibles next to their seats, but they choose to learn about Jesus through the entertainment devised by the devil and his children. They'd rather watch a movie about Jesus, sing to music, or just pretend to be Christians, than study and learn the WORD, verse by verse. They busy themselves with vanities and don't put their gifts of literacy to good and proper use.
Isaiah 5:11 "Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!"Isaiah 5:12 "And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of His hands."Isaiah 5:13 "Therefore My people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst."
Partying, drinking, singing and music, referenced in the Scripture verses, aren't confined to the literal sense. Obviously, an entire people don't go into captivity because of drunkenness from alcohol. Many folks stop partying and drinking after college and/or settling down. Strong drink is the delusion from the cup of devils. The indoctrinated masses are under the influence day and night, because they are intoxicated and kindled from feasting with the wrong host. They don't consider or regard GOD's work, or WORD, because they enjoy satan's carnal circus and entertainment too much. They haven't been drinking from the Living Water, which is Jesus Christ. Their honourable men are famished and starving. The masses are dying from thirst and dehydration.
Amos 8:9 "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"Amos 8:10 "And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day."Amos 8:11 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the LORD:"
So the feasting and drinking, spoken in Isaiah Ch 5, aren't physical, but spiritual, because how can they feast and drink and still be hungry and thirsty? The people have brought themselves under satan's bondage, by accepting his bargains and believing his false doctrines. The famine in this last generation is not a physical one for food but a spiritual one for the WORD of GOD. When you believe and accept the precepts of men, those false doctrines, half-truths and untruths will propagate within your entire mind, like a little leaven leavens the whole lump.
The typical Christian cares more about having the appearance of righteousness, than actually following Christ and being a doer of the WORD. He only goes through the motions of what he believes to be a Christian life, so that he can tell himself and others that he's Christian and religious. He goes to Sunday service to sing and hear a few verses from the Bible, but the sermon comes packaged with the traditions of men, their opinions and some watered-down message of the week. The preacher tells the congregation that satan's children are the chosen people and to get ready for rapture, and the religious man says, "Amen"!
When you run into the religious man at the store on Monday, he'll recite some part of the sermon in his conversation with you. You'll think to yourself that this guy has the WORD on his mind, most all of the time, and he'll convince himself that he's being a real Christian. Come Tuesday, he's back into the carnal mindset and the ways of this world and doesn't remember a thing about GOD's WORD. Fast forward 10 or 20 years... the story is the same. Remembering nothing and doing nothing, besides just going through the motions. Now would you say that this religious man knows GOD? Or has he been feeding from a trough decorated as a Christian place of worship?
This is the world that surrounds us. It's filled with people living life without purpose, year after year, going through the motions just to get by; supposing that gain is godliness; spinning their wheels day in day out and not having a clue that the carnal mind cannot please GOD. A carnal mind seeks a carnal savior and satan, the false Christ, fits the bill. Satan's bargains are material, temporal and carnal. As it is written in 2 Corinthians Ch 11, there are false apostles that teach another Jesus (satan disguised as an angel of light). A worldly, carnal believer worships antichrist, thinking he's Christ. The believer's carnal mind seeks only carnal treasures, that satan, the fabricated god of this world, has the power to grant. Satan can pay your worldly bills, help puff up the lust of your flesh, the lust of your eyes and your pride of life, but it comes with a one-way ticket on dark ride "13" to hell.
