There are many preachers, who are carnal and belong to the world and have the same tendency as their father the devil, and that is to sow doubt in the hearts of the believers. Their mission is to ensure that Christians start doubting the authenticity and truth of the Bible; God’s Word and compromise with the world, so that they will leave the Word of God. How do they do that? By preaching and teaching their own philosophies, inventions, imaginations, እና አስተያየቶች, which are inspired by the wisdom and knowledge of this world. They spread lies, through their sermons and books, that contradict the Bible; የእግዚአብሔር ቃል. This has ensured that the faith of many Christians has been affected by doubt and many Christians have started to doubt the authenticity and truth of the Bible. Because of the many lies that are preached, Christians have developed more faith in science; human knowledge and wisdom than in the Bible. ስለዚህ, many Christians don’t walk by faith after the Spirit according to the written Word of God, but they walk by faith after the flesh and the written words of man and the science of this world. But what does the Bible say about science? መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ እና ሳይንስ አብረው ይሄዳሉ?? Can the Bible and science be reconciled or not?
An angel of light
The devil comes as an angel of light and performs many miracles, ምልክቶች, እና ድንቆች. He considers himself equal to God and therefore the devil comes as God. One of the areas the devil works at is the mind of people. አዎ, the devil has great power in the mind of many people, including many Christians, who give the devil room, so that the devil can build his strongholds in their minds and destroy their lives. ሰይጣን ያውቃል, that when you possess someone’s mind, you possess the person’s life. Because every word, ተግባር, and deed derives from the mind of a person.
Through the mind of people, the devil raises thought, which seems so pious, wonderful, hopeful, and promising, ግን በእውነቱ, contradicts the Bible and produces perversion and apostasy.
And that’s exactly what we see happening around us, because many churches have become apostate of the Word and don’t live according to የእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ ከእንግዲህ.
But the devil doesn’t only work by casting thoughts in the mind, he also works in the mind by means of hallucinations, ሂፕኖሲስ, ራእዮች, መገለጦች, and dreams.
How many famous philosophers through all ages have received new insights and knowledge and developed new scientific laws and theories on the basis of revelations, ራእዮች, hallucinations, and dreams?
Some well-known examples are ሶቅራጠስ, Rene Descartes, Dimitri Mendeleev, Alfred Russell Wallace, August Kekelee, Shrinivasa Ramanujan, Otto Loewi, and Louis Agassiz.
The world has embraced their knowledge, ጥበብ, and scientific laws and theories, and slowly the church has opened its door and has embraced this knowledge, ጥበብ, and science as well. This has become visible in the current state of the church, and the perverted truth that is preached in many churches.
Are scientists appointed and blessed by God?
If you are born again and have received God’s Spirit, by Whom you have become a son of God and Whose nature dwells in you, then you can no longer say, that God has blessed science. You can’t say, የሚለውን ነው። medical scientists, astronomers, natural scientists, ወዘተ. are appointed by God and that they are God’s workmanship. Because their carnal works are not based upon the Bible; የእግዚአብሔር ቃል, but they are based upon the words of man, which derived from their carnal mind.
እንደ ሥጋ ፈቃድ የሚኖሩ የሥጋን ነገር ያስባሉና።; እንደ መንፈስ ፈቃድ የሚኖሩ ግን የመንፈስን ነገር ነው።. ስለ ሥጋ ማሰብ ሞት ነውና።; በመንፈስ ማሰብ ግን ሕይወትና ሰላም ነው።. ምክንያቱም ሥጋዊ አስተሳሰብ በእግዚአብሔር ላይ ጥል ነውና።: ለእግዚአብሔር ሕግ አይገዛምና።, ሊሆንም አይችልም።. እንግዲያስ በሥጋ ያሉት እግዚአብሔርን ደስ ማሰኘት አይችሉም (ሮማውያን 8:5-8)
The Bible says that a carnal mind is enmity against God, because a carnal mind will not submit to God, His Word and His will.
Therefore God can’t bless something that has not derived from Him, ቃሉ, and His Spirit, but from a carnal mind that is being controlled by the devil and the kingdom of darkness.
Scientists are carnal and sense-ruled and rely on their own insights, የማሰብ ችሎታ, እውቀት, ጥበብ, ቴክኒኮች, እና ዘዴዎች, which they have been taught during their scientific studies.
They act out faith in this knowledge, ጥበብ, and words of men, and through research in the visible realm and by applying the things, which they have been taught, they expect to get results, and many times they do.
Although there are scientists, who claim to be Christians and believe in God, and rely on and operate by Him, ድርጊታቸው ተቃራኒውን ያረጋግጣል. Their actions don’t line up with the words they confess, because they don’t rely on the Bible; the Word of God and don’t act out of faith in the Word, but they rely and act upon the knowledge and wisdom of this world, that derives from the carnal mind of people, and doesn’t acknowledge God and His Word, but rejects Him. That’s why science belongs to the world and not to the Kingdom of God.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding (ምሳሌ 9:10)
God has given His Word to get insights in His Kingdom and to get to know Him and His will. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, ለተግሣጽ, ለማረም, ለጽድቅ ትምህርት, so that the man of God (አዲሱ ፍጥረት) may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 ቲም 3:16-17) .
The world shall never be able to understand the Bible, and that’s why the world considers the Bible as a foolish Book, that is full of metaphors and fairy tales. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, because the Bible has informed us about it.
The reason why they consider the Bible a foolish Book is because they are unspiritual. An unspiritual person is not able to understand and comprehend the Bible. That’s why the generation of fallen man considers the wisdom and knowledge of God as foolishness (1 ቆሮንቶስ 2:14).
The law of faith goes against every natural law
The knowledge and wisdom of God and the law of faith goes against all natural laws and everything that is visible in the natural realm, and can’t be reasoned by the carnal mind. Take for example, the law of gravity. According to the law of gravity, it is impossible to walk on water. But through the law of faith, Jesus surpassed the law of gravity and walked upon water. And not only Jesus walked upon the water, but even Peter walked upon the water (እንዲሁም አንብብ: Step out the boat and keep on walking in faith!).
The greatness of our Almighty God and His works are too big for the carnal human mind to comprehend and understand.
The human mind is not able to understand, how you can create something out of nothing. ለዛ ነው, the human mind is only able to research those things that are visible and tangible and analyze and explain them, according to what they see and perceive with their senses.
አሁን ደርሰናል።, የዓለም መንፈስ አይደለም።, but the Spirit which is of God; ከእግዚአብሔር በነጻ የተሰጠንን እናውቅ ዘንድ. የትኞቹን ነገሮች ደግሞ እንናገራለን, የሰው ጥበብ በሚያስተምራቸው ቃላት አይደለም, መንፈስ ቅዱስ ያስተምራል እንጂ; መንፈሳዊ ነገሮችን ከመንፈሳዊ ነገሮች ጋር ማወዳደር. ፍጥረታዊ ሰው ግን የእግዚአብሔርን መንፈስ ነገር አይቀበልም።: ለእርሱ ሞኝነት ናቸውና።: ሊያውቃቸውም አይችልም።, በመንፈስ የሚታወቁ ናቸውና። (1 ቆሮንቶስ 2:12-14)
ብቻ, when someone is ዳግመኛ መወለድ and has become spiritual, the spiritual mind of the person is able to understand the Bible and to believe in what has been written in the Bible. የ መንፈሳዊ ዓለም is no longer fiction but has become a reality. By studying the Bible and by applying the words of God, the written Word shall become alive.
አዲሱ ሰው, who is created after the image of God, shall walk according to what the Word says and therefore walk in faith. Faith is a fruit of the spirit and not of the flesh.
በሚያሳዝን ሁኔታ, there are many preachers, who think that through their studies in theology and religion, they possess all the wisdom, they need. ግን በእውነቱ, they are unspiritual and don’t understand the Bible. They don’t preach out of the Word and the Spirit but out of their flesh; their own carnal insights, የማሰብ ችሎታ, ልምዶች, and science. They make their own theories and doctrines based upon scriptures, which they randomly take out of the Bible and out of their context and interpret in their own way.
በእውነታው ምክንያት, that many Christians are not born again and don’t study the Word of God by themselves, they assume that the preacher speaks the truth and therefore considers and accepts his words as the truth.
But everyone can study theology and get a Ph.D. And everyone can take scriptures from the Bible and give their own interpretations of them. Even the devil came to Jesus and quoted scriptures from the Bible in order to deceive Jesus. And Today, ልጆቹ, who are appointed as leaders in the church, do exactly the same thing and instead of leading Christians to eternal life, they lead them to eternal death; ሲኦል. Following a study, having titles and quoting scriptures doesn’t prove if someone is born again and has become a new creation. But because the old man is carnal and doesn’t discern the spirits, but are sense ruled and therefore rather look at status, diploma and titles, many are being deceived.
Don’t lean on your own understanding
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (ምሳሌ 3:5)
The Word says very clearly that you should truth in the Lord with all your heart and that you shouldn’t rely and trust on your own insight and intellect, because your own insight from the soul is deceitful. Your own insight is sense ruled and perceives the visible realm and not the spiritual realm.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. ተብሎ ተጽፏልና።, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (1 ቆሮንቶስ 1:18-20)
እግዚአብሔር እና ቃሉ; the Bible and science shall never go together. The Bible and science can’t be reconciled, no matter what many modern preachers say. They can say all they want and blend the Bible and science, which is the wisdom and knowledge of the world, but the Bible and science each belong to another kingdom.
The majority of all churches in the world have allowed the spirit of this world to enter and have become tolerant towards sin and have made concessions with the world and left the Bible; the Word of God and live the same lives as the world.
There is hardly any diference between Christians and unbelievers, except that Christians go to church and occasionally read the Bible and pray.
The Christians have adopted the wisdom, እውቀት, ዘዴዎች, and technics of the world and Christianized them, so that it may seem pious in the natural realm, ግን በእውነቱ, it has nothing to do with God, ቃሉ, እና መንፈስ ቅዱስ (እንዲሁም አንብብ: ‘The Christians sauce'')
ቤተ ክርስቲያን, that belongs to the world is nothing more than a social humanitarian institution, that entertains and motivates people, provides carnal tools (methods and technics) in order to become successful in life on this earth, and does a lot of humanitarian charity work.
The difference between God and science
Science is engaged, among other things, with cause and effect. There must always be a visible cause for a visible effect. Everything that is visible in the natural realm has its origin in the natural realm. Science relies on human (ሥጋዊ) እውቀት, ጥበብ, ችሎታ, and power and makes use of carnal methods, ቴክኒኮች, and resources to repair disturbed elements, remove affected elements, and resolve problems.
God is Spirit and His Kingdom is a spiritual Kingdom and is not of this world (ዮሐ 18:36). Everything that is visible in the natural realm has its origin in the spiritual realm.
አዲሱ ሰው, who belongs to the Kingdom of God, doesn’t rely on his own (ሥጋዊ) የማሰብ ችሎታ, ማስተዋል, እውቀት, ጥበብ, ability and power, and carnal methods and technics, which they have been taught, but the new man relies on God, and His Word and His power.
The Kingdom of God operates in the exact opposite as the world (የጨለማው መንግሥት) operates.
The world operates out of the visible realm and God operates out of the invisible realm. እንደ አለም, everything that is visible (and measurable) in the natural realm has a natural cause. According to the Kingdom of God, everything has its origin in the spiritual realm and is created out of the spiritual realm and therefore everything that is visible in the natural realm has a spiritual (invisible to the natural eye) cause.
ሰው, who is carnal and belongs to this world is unspiritual, and trusts and relies on his own carnal intellect, ማስተዋል, እውቀት, ጥበብ, ችሎታ, ኃይል, ቴክኒኮች, and methods and is sense ruled and therefore walks after what he perceives with his senses
ሰው, who has been born again in the spirit is spiritual, and belongs to the Kingdom of God and trusts and relies on God, ቃሉ, እና ኃይሉ, and walks after the Word and the Spirit and not after what he perceives with his senses.
Science causes independency
All scientists have one thing in common and that is, that they have ensured that people have become independent of God and depended on science (wisdom and knowledge of this world) and technology. The world thinks, that they don’t need God and can do everything by themselves.
By trusting in their own carnal intellect, ability and power, insights and worldly knowledge and wisdom, they have ensured that people don’t need God anymore, but that they can provide for themselves and can heal people, and restore and solve problems.
Science rejects the Bible; የእግዚአብሔር ቃል
Science rejects the faith and the Word of God and says that religion has nothing to do with science. Scientists have taken a stand on the things they believe in and don’t allow anything, that contradicts science or affects science. They don’t compromise and make concessions with the gospel and the wisdom and knowledge of God. They are not persuaded and convinced by Christians, who try to persuade them, but they keep standing on their science and keep believing in their carnal wisdom and knowledge.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Christians would have the same attitude as they have? That they would stand up for God and His Word, by keeping science far away and out of the gospel of Jesus Christ, instead of compromising science with faith. Faith and science have nothing in common, and shall never have anything in common.
The Word of God belongs to the Kingdom of God and science is the doctrine of this world.
It is very sad to see, how many Christians are not able to stand on the Word of God and are being overruled by scientists and compromises and make concessions with the world and adjust the Word to the wisdom, እውቀት, and findings of this world.
Only the Christians, who are truly born again, will never compromise and shall not engage with science, but shall stay away. Because for the born again Christian this wisdom and knowledge is foolishness, just like the wisdom and knowledge of the world is foolishness to God. And that shall always remain.
Jesus surpassed every natural law
Jesus surpassed every natural law during His life on earth. በመጀመሪያ, Jesus was conceived in the womb of a woman through the Holy Spirit, which is impossible according to natural science. Jesus fed 5000 ሰዎች (women and children excluded) with five loaves and two fishes and 4000 ሰዎች (women and children excluded) with 7 loaves and a few fishes. According to science, this is also impossible. Jesus walked on water, which surpassed the law of gravity. Jesus traveled from one place to the other, without using natural transportation, which is again according to science impossible. There were many more natural laws He surpassed, but the greatest work, which surpassed every natural law is that Jesus rose from the dead!
The laws of God and His Kingdom have nothing in common with the natural laws of this world.
Science destroys faith
ስትል, that you believe in God and His Word and that you are born again, you shall not get involved with science. Because science destroys faith. “Christians” can disapprove of this statement, by saying that science has strengthened their faith, but that’s not true. አዎ, maybe it has strengthened their faith in their self-made gospel, with their ምናባዊ ኢየሱስ. But science destroys the true faith and the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Because science is first of all not based upon the Word of God, and secondly, it doesn’t accept the Word of God but instead it speaks against the Word of God, and that starts already in the Book of Genesis chapter one, by denying God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all there is within. ስለዚህ, how can science strengthen faith? This is again a lie from the devil, which has deceived many so-called carnal Christians.
እነዚያ, who are carnal and not born again, and live after the flesh and therefore are sense ruled, shall get involved with science, and believe in science. Because to them, science is understandable and logical.
They don’t consider the Bible as logical, but consider it a historical Book, with many metaphors, that contradict itself in many places.
ለዛ ነው, ብዙ, who say and claim to be Christians, እንደ እውነቱ ከሆነ, don’t believe deep down in their heart in the Word of God, which shows in the fact, that they don’t live according to the Word, but do everything they can to make the Word of God scientific, so that it fits into their carnal mind.
And that’s exactly what has happened in many churches.
Instead of keeping science outside the church and considering the Bible as the Truth and highest Authority in their lives, and by faith in the Bible; የእግዚአብሔር ቃል, አእምሮአቸውን ያድሱ ከእግዚአብሔር ቃል ጋር, obey the Word, and apply the Word of God in their lives, they mix the wisdom and knowledge of God with the wisdom and knowledge of the world.
But by doing that, they undermine God and the Word of God and His authority. They exalt themselves above God and adjust His Word; the Bible to the lies of this world. And so they change His truth into a lie.
This has happened, because the people, who say they believe, but in the meantime have allowed the wisdom and knowledge of this world to enter the church, never had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. When Paul had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, Paul laid down his own life, his intellect, and all the carnal wisdom and knowledge of the world, so that he was able to ኢየሱስን ተከተሉ.
As long as a person has not had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and isn’t born again and hasn’t laid down his own life, then a person is not able to believe in Jesus; the Word and follow Him.
