Why we must study to show ourselves approved


 Before someone implies this post has nothing to do with practicing our faith, please consider the following Scriptural admonitions.

2nd Timothy 2: 

1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 

2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also. 

3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 

4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him. 

5 And if someone likewise competes as an athlete, he is not crowned as victor unless he competes according to the rules. 

6 The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. 

7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.


John 7:

14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple area, and began to teach. 

15 The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, not having been educated?” 

16 So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me. 

17 If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God, or I am speaking from Myself. 

18The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.


Acts 4: 13 Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.


From my earliest childhood I can recall wondering why adults who swore everything they did was for my own good were doing goofy shit. Often said shit caused me unneeded pain and/or the real reason they demanded I comply with them still escapes me to this day. As many of you will know I came nose to nose with the beast that motivates most people when I moved to Europe since I had failed to grasp the root cause until then.


Janteloven, tall poppy syndrome, crab in a bucket mentality, the nail that sticks up must get pounded down, call it what you will, human beings love conformity. If they cannot fit in in one group, they will find another to march in unthinking obedient unison with. Just like the Pharisees Christ encountered in the Temple who weren’t obeying God but rather followed an ideology that perverted God’s Word to enslave themselves and their fellows.


It is my concerted opinion that this bizarre phenomenon accounts for 99.9% of human behaviour and 99.99% of unneeded human suffering. All for one reason, we are too witless to come to our own conclusions without the echo chamber of our own in-group. And worse, we fail to seek God to give us understanding as we study the real implications of the Gospel of Christ Jesus.


The CBC has become a national echo chamber repeating the social pathology of our time. What came first, the chicken or the egg? What came first, CBC or the government? What came first, the ideologically possessed citizen or Justin Trudeau? There is compelling evidence Hitler didn't turn Germans into Nazis, he simply was a genius at telling Germans what they wished to hear.


Canadians aren't being brainwashed by the CBC or Trudeau, they are simply being told what their sick minds want to be fed, namely an illogical, irrational, emotionally charged, ungodly victimhood mentality. Here we can see many projecting onto others their own moral inadequacies even as they subscribe to contradictory rhetoric to justify their false doctrines. Society is deliberately dumbing itself down simply because it is too painful for the majority to think. And this attitude has been the cause of massive social ruin and societal discord, particularly since COVID which only amplified this mindset leaving individualistic thinkers surrounded by unthinking fools whose celebration of shallowness is causing society to swallow some very toxic ideas.


Life has become a competition of who can comply more completely, who can virtue signal their compliance loudest, and who can report and censor their fellow man to the authorities for refusing to march in mindless lockstep with policies that result in the opposite outcomes of what we were told by the authorities their policies would achieve!


Which brings me back to my first assertion: we are being sold toxic ideas with which we are being asked to comply. Is it necessary for me to remind you that this mindset is exactly what made Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Communist China possible? All such regimes are by their very nature and stated purpose atheistic where the State run apparatus has replaced the need for a personal knowledge of Christ, Him crucified and resurrected and our union with Him in that process. Because this is exactly where we are headed if we cannot demonstrate that even we, the unlearned, can study to show ourselves approved unto God and that the Word of God is the only solution for mankind’s ideological possession!
