Certainty: The method used to deceive!

Posted : 27 Jul, 2011 11:20 AM

These topics are written both here and on my profile. My intention is to make known the deceptions of satan so that my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord will not be deceived. Satan uses the same methods today that he used in the garden of Eden to deceive...it's called "fighting for certainty" and/or "questioning the truth" in an attempt to cause the truth to doubted.



THE REASON WHY NEEDING OR DEMANDING CERTAINTY IS A SIN: When someone needs or demands certainty, it's a sign that something is wrong. Notice what Jesus said in Matthew 5:33-37. These verses indicate that whenever someone needs or demands certainty, it's a result of their own sinful motives...which is exactly why they wanted certainty. The reason they want certainty is because they don't trust...and the reason they don't trust is because they know their own heart is evil.

Another topic about certainty...

SOULMATE DOCTRINE vs. THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH: I've already mentioned in the above article that needing or demanding certainty is sinful. The same is true when it comes to a relationship or marriage. Whenever certainty is needed or demanded, the person wanting proof is most likely the one who needs to prove theirself. The reason someone doesn't trust is usually because they know they can't be trusted. Those who follow the belief that God created a specific spouse for them are ignorant. There are certain scriptures found in God's Word that clearly indicate that such beliefs are completely inaccurate...and that nobody has a "soulmate" or "the one". The "soulmate doctrine", which seems to be accepted by many "Christians" these days, is an idea inspired by satan and his demons. I know this because those who follow the soulmate doctrine are using it as a weapon to manipulate their special someone into putting up with unreasonable and unrealistic demands. Fact is, God's Word clearly states that marriage is a union between a man and a woman where the two shall become "one flesh". The Word of God never mentions soulmates...nor is there any indication that we should ask God to provide a soulmate. Here's what I say about this issue: God is omnipotent...therefore, as important as marriage is to God, I don't believe He would've left out information about a soulmate if each of us had a "specific person" that He created for us!

And here's another issue to do with certainty...

CONTRACT vs. COVENANT: When marriage is viewed as a contract, it will never last...because a contract involves forced requirements/demands...without any forgiveness, which results in grounds for a divorce if even one requirement/demand isn't met 100 percent correctly. This results in far too much stress.

For a successful, life-long relationship, marriage MUST be viewed as a covenant. The covenant view of marriage involves duties/responsibilities based on God's Word...which also includes forgiveness and the ability to correct the sin. The knowledge of available forgiveness eliminates the fear/worry of making a mistake that might result in divorce. The result is a joyous, healthy marriage. :)

CONTRACT= CONTROL= SELFISH= What will be gained from this without having to give up anything? :/

COVENANT= LOVE= COMMITMENT= Let's always try to help one another! :)



I intend to add additional information/responses to this forum post. I hope this information helps someone.
