“WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL ARROGANCE
(I.A.)?”
As a Street Preacher, I get to talk to many people
about the Bible, and I’m always aware …
through past time-wasting experiences … that while it’s
important to
cater to a person’s intellectual integrity … I try not to
entertain their
intellectual arrogance.
As I was setting up one day, a young man came up and
asked if he could discuss what was on my boards eg “All have sinned
etc” … “How
can ye escape the damnation of hell?” etc.
I said “Sure, but let me ask if you have you made up
your mind already … are you 100% sure on what you believe … because if
you
have, I won’t waste my time”.
My experience has generally been that they’re not
genuine enquirers … but are hoping to change my mind.
Satan sends these people up, from time to time, to
stop the gospel being publicly preached.
Most of
them lie saying “Oh no … I just have a few questions.”
His
big
thing, apart from ‘there is no such thing as sin, God, heaven or hell’
was this
… he’d found an error in the Bible … and this was why he wouldn’t
(an
act of his will) accept the truth … and therefore he was determined not
to get
saved.
I
got
sucked in again!
Dear
Reader, it’s funny how hard these people, take nothing … that is … God
does not
exist in their own mind, … and then try to prove that God does
not exist.
If they are so convinced that he does not exist, why do they keep on
trying to
prove it?
Anyhow,
this
Intellectual Arrogant’s big proof for Bible error, is where
Jesus first confronts
the money changers in the temple (John 2:14) … and then three
years
later, doing it again (Luke 19:45-46).
His
question was “Which was it … then or then … it can’t be
repeated!”
Why?
Because HE HAD DECIDED THAT WAS THE CASE! It couldn’t happen
twice.
He
further
mumbled something about Bible chronology and times frames in the Bible
… with
this coming before that and so on.
A
very
confused young man.
Of
course, for
starters, Jesus being the 2nd of the Godhead always
does
things twice! How about that!
Here’s
another one … “Hey Preacher, the Sermon on the Mount … did
Jesus deliver
it on a
hill
or on a plain!
Gottcha’ there Preacher haven’t we!”
Due
to
their paucity of Bible knowledge … coming from the Latin ‘paucus’
meaning ‘little’, insufficient, smallness and scantiness
… they are oblivious to the fact that Christ delivered it twice
… once
to his apostles and the other time, to the general population.
But
here’s
the thing … there’s something in the Bible they don’t like … it offends
them
and THEIR HIDDEN … or indeed … OPEN SIN.
They
remind
me of castle archers with an ENDLESS supply of arrows
(arguments)
shooting down at the enemy … the King James Bible … storming their
castle … that
could discover THEIR WORKS OF THE FLESH … you
know … or whatever dark stuff they’re
into.
So
Dear
Reader, do your best when someone asks you to prove to them this and
that, but
be aware that they can set the agenda, and get you running around in
circles.
Put
it this
way, you will never ever satisfy their intellectual
arrogance.
Next
time
should this gentleman appear and ask me to prove something from the
Bible that
he disagrees with, I’ll simply say to him “I don’t have to prove
anything …
have a nice day!”
When
talking to a heretick … yes Dear Reader … ‘saved’ or ‘unsaved’
… remind
yourself of the following …
“HERE
is A TICK that has burrowed into … and poisoned …
their brain.
They will not change.”
