Denial

Description



Denial is simply refusing to acknowledge that an event has occurred. The person affected simply acts as if nothing has happened, behaving in ways that others may see as bizarre.



In its full form, it is totally subconscious, and sufferers may be as mystified by the behavior of people around them as those people are by the behavior of the sufferers. It may also have a significant conscious element, where the sufferer is simply 'turning a blind eye' to an uncomfortable situation.



Denial is a defense mechanism that people use when they cannot handle or don't want to deal with reality. Stress is one of the results of denial left untreated. Facts usually do not change, no matter how hard a person wishes that the problem would just go away. Problems tend to mount and build, resulting in even more challenges that demand attention.





Anger

# One of the symptoms of denial and stress is inappropriate anger, which can turn to rage.





When one says they are of a particular theory, theology, and their allegiance is that theory, theology, doctrine, they ultimately end up in denial when confronted with the reality of the truth.





An example would be when your doctrine declares that man is totally depraved of heart, with total inability, when confronted with truth they have to be in denial of the reality of the truth, because the obvious is everything they believe is wrong.







Jesus declares he is the word and the word declares:



Jn 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.



The theory and system of some, say man because of original sin

can not believe, their theory is based on what they have manufactured out of the word of God to justify their theories.



Despite the truth that all man is expected to respond to this truth by the author of this word, the lord Jesus.



The theory responds to this teaching:



man can not believed because he is depraved, so this does not apply, to all of mankind, again because all does not mean all people, and the word world does not apply to all peoples in all times.



Also their theory says the author of the word Sends all that are not elect to hell because they say so according to their theory.



The truth says man will go to hell because they do not believe in the son of God and they condemn themselves.



Those in possession of this theory are quick to become and display anger when confronted with truth, such as the above scripture.



Denial of the reality!!!
