The Theory of Relaxticity, although quite complex, can be explained in a straightforward algorithm using Boolean Logic, and Himalayan folklore: “A self—inflated mind will remain inflated until deflation occurs.”
Do some people have an over-inflated opinion of their mental acuity? Hmm!! Some people are brilliant beyond measure, but lack “common sense”. From the most preeminent astrophysicist to the MENSA rat-packers, the use of common sense when applying the Bible to a worldview is non-existent. And that makes perfect sense in a world going ‘ga-ga’ over UFO’s and DNA.
“God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” 1 Corinthians 1:27
Is Christianity against rational thinking? Christians clearly do believe in using their minds to weigh the evidence and make wise choices. No amount of knowledge can replace or bypass Christ’s work on the cross. If so, Christ would be accessible to only the intellectually gifted and the well-educated, and not to ordinary people and children. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 2 that the way to receive salvation is so simple that anyone who wants it can understand and receive it. Skill and wisdom do not get a person into God’s kingdom—simple faith does. Salvation is totally from God through Jesus’ death. We need only accept what Jesus has already done for us.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the best thing this crazy world has ever seen. God, having a unique sense of humor, saw that the common people would preach His Gospel to the cognoscenti, the rich and the powerful.
