Liberalism/Heathenism

               

                1. Negative volition suppresses the truth and seeks a substitute which leads to the rise of heathenism and liberalism. This substitute may be socialism, communism, or some other system of philosophical materialism, but always follows the same pattern: Man seeking to establish perfect environment by man’s activity.

 

            2. Heathenism and liberalism begins without truth. If your premise is without truth then no matter what the conclusion is, it too, will be without truth.

 

            3. Heathenism: Romans 1:18.

                Liberalism: Romans 1:24,25.

 

            4. Liberalism exploits the ignorance of people by appealing to the basic lust and emotional patterns: i.e. food, clothes, etc. Socialism destroys all basic institutions and human ingenuity.

 

            5. Liberals satisfy their ego by trying to play God. Everyone is equal, they say, but they have not the ability or character to make everyone so.

 

            6. Liberals seek a perfect world apart from God. They do not have the capacity to do this either.

 

            7. Hence, the principle of liberalism is just an extension of heathenism.

 

            8. Heathenism rejects the truth and seeks a false god and false truth.

 

            9. Heathenism rejects Jesus Christ as saviour.

 

            10. Liberalism is another manifestation of heathenism, without the aboriginal or primitive culture.

           

            11. Heathenism sets up a society without God and seeks to replace or fill the vacuum with religion or other gods. Pantheism (God and the universe are one); polytheism (deism — idealism).

 

            12. Liberalism is designed to appeal to the unsaved intellect, embraces his culture, and claims to be able to solve his problems. An endless number of programs and gimmicks is tried but the solution is never found. In the many programs come the many destructions — and down goes the nation!
