"Because" - "Belonging."

by
Dean Gotcher

"For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." Matthew 12:50

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." Matthew 23:9

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1 John 2:16

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3, 4

"Experience is, for me, the highest authority." "Neither the Bible nor the prophets, neither the revelations of God can take precedence over my own direct experience." (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)

"To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right')

When "Because" ("Because I said so," i.e., "It is written." i.e., having to humble, deny, die to your "self" in order [as in "old" world order] to obey established commands and rules as given and accept established facts and truth as is, i.e., by faith), i.e., the father's/Father's authority conflicts with "belonging" (your "longing/wanting to be accepted/approved/affirmed" by others) you have to decide whether the father's/Father's authority, i.e., doing the father's/Father's will is more important in your life than your "feelings," i.e., the child's carnal nature in you "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) which the world stimulates, which includes your "lust" for affirmation, i.e., the approval of men—'justifying' your "self," i.e., your carnal nature, i.e., being "esteemed" by men (known as the "pride of life"). Answering the question "To be or not to be?" depends upon who you are turning to for the answer, turning to God, "being" made in His image (having to humble, deny, die to your "self" in order to obey the Father's commands and rules as preached and accept His facts and truth as taught, by faith), doing the Father's will or turning to man, "being" made in his image ("esteeming" his "self," "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates) doing his will instead. If you make man, i.e., your "self," i.e., your carnal nature, i.e., your "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, i.e., your "self interest" the answer (to why you are here) than "Because I said so," i.e., the father's/Father's authority will have to be negated. By making your "self," i.e., your "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates the answer, you make your "lusting" after the affirmation of men (socialism), which requires others to 'justify' your carnal nature as the answer as well (answering why they are here as well). In doing so, you will automatically hate restraint, i.e., hate the father's/Father's authority (and anyone supporting it) which gets in the way—("repressing" you, i.e., preventing you from being your "self," as well as "alienating" you from others, who, like you, "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates) Negating the father's/Father's authority negates the guilty conscience (which the father's/Father's authority engenders) when you do wrong, disobey, sin (called "the negation of negation")—so you can be your "self," i.e., do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity, i.e., with the 'justification,' i.e., the affirmation of men. 'Justifying' your "self," i.e., your "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, with others affirming, establishes your "self," i.e., "human nature," i.e., "all that is of the world" over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority. Rejecting "because," i.e., the father's/Father's authority can only lead to you "belonging" to the world which 'justifies' you, i.e., your carnal nature.

"And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15

"The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the father's/Father's will, i.e., having to set aside your carnal desires of the 'moment,' i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's/Father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, taking pleasure in doing the father's/Father's will instead of yours], and desperately wicked [hating the father's/Father's authority that "gets in the way," i.e. that prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks you from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 You can not see your hate of restraint as being evil, i.e., "wicked" ("desperately wicked") because your love of pleasure ("self interest") blinds you to it, i.e., gets in the way. Like a drug, pleasure (dopamine emancipation) which the world stimulates blinds you to your hatred toward restraint, i.e., blinds you to your "wickedness" which is being expressed toward those who are preventing (or trying to prevent) you from having access to the drug, i.e., to pleasure (dopamine emancipation)—making you not just wicked but "desperately wicked."

Choosing to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, i.e., "becoming" at-one-with those who affirm your carnal nature, i.e., 'justifying' your "self" before men, you will automatically do your will instead of the father's/Father's, negating those who get in the way of your doing wrong, disobeying, sinning without having a guilty conscience. The pathway of the "new" world order is based upon you negating the father's/Father's authority in your thoughts and actions, so you along with all those of the world ('divine sparks'), 'liberated' from the restraints (of the "past," i.e., the father's/Father's authority) can (through dialogue) become united as one—'justifying' your/their "self," thinking and acting according to your/their carnal nature only.

You do not have to physically kill those who get in the way of your "lust" for pleasure (which includes the praises aka affirmation of men), you only have to perceive them as being unreasonable (with 'reasoning' being based upon your "feelings," i.e., your carnal desires of the 'moment') and therefore irrational (not in harmony with your carnal desires of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, i.e., not affirming you carnal nature), making them irrelevant (not worth listening to, i.e., "Make me 'feel' 'good,' like God [only God is good], and I will listen to you." "Make me 'feel' 'bad,' like a 'sinner,' i.e., not like God, and I will not hear a word you say.") and the deed is done. Making your "self" God, i.e., 'creating' others in your image, i.e., "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, "lusting" after the approval of men (affirmation) there is "no fear of God before [your] eyes," therefore no accountability for your wicked deeds—which, in your carnal mind, are necessary for the "good" of others, i.e., for your "self preservation."

"The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil." Psalms 36:1-4

"There are many stories of the conflict and tension that these new practices are producing between parents and children." (David Krathwohl, Benjamin S. Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 2: Affective Domain) All "educators" are certified and schools accredited based upon their use of what are called "Bloom's Taxonomies" as their curriculum, i.e., method of teaching/learning in the classroom today, 'liberating' students from their parents authority. Student's, "longing to be," who find their identity in "the group" automatically reject their parent's authority, i.e., their "Because I said so."

"The child takes on the characteristic behavior of the group in which he is placed. . . . he reflects the behavior patterns which are set by the adult leader of the group." (Kurt Lewin in Wilbur Brookover, A Sociology of Education)

"The individual accepts the new system of values and beliefs by accepting belongingness to the group." (Kurt Lewin in Kenneth Bennie, Human Relations in Curriculum Change)

"Few individuals, as Asch has shown, can maintain their objectivity [their belief, i.e., their faith in authority, be it in their parent's and/or God's authority] in the face of apparent group unanimity [especially when "the group" is excluding, i.e., rejecting them because of their "ridged," i.e., "prejudiced," i.e., unadaptable to 'change' "negative" attitude, i.e., their holding onto the father's/Father's standards, i.e., restraints while "the group" is heading down the road, hand in hand with one another enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' they desired, "enjoying" them without them, i.e., excluding (rejecting) them]." (Irvin D. Yalom, Theory and Practice and Group Psychotherapy)

You preach, teach, and discuss established commands, rules, facts, and truth. You dialogue your "feelings." Which means of communication you choose to use, when it comes to doing right and not wrong, determines what right and wrong means to you, with right and wrong being either established for all times and in all places, i.e., objective or 'changeable,' i.e., subject to your carnal desires of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, i.e., subjective. The "educator" does not have to tell the students to question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack their parents, i.e., the father's/Father's authority when they get home from school (if they are not doing that already), all they have to do is create a "group grade," "safe zone/space/place," "Don't be negative, be positive" environment in the classroom where the students can dialogue their "feelings," i.e., their love of pleasure and hate of restraint, i.e., their opinions to a consensus, i.e., to a "feeling" of "oneness" with one another (there is no father's/Father's authority in an opinion, in dialogue, or in the consensus process, only the child's carnal nature, i.e., "self interest" of the 'moment') they will automatically question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack their parent's authority when they get home from school, with the schools approval.

"In the dialogic relation of recognizing oneself in the other, they experience the common ground of their existence." (Jürgen Habermas, Knowledge & Human Interest, Chapter Three: The Idea of the Theory of Knowledge as Social Theory) It is in dialogue we discover our commonality with one another, i.e., our common "self interests" in each other, 'justifying' our "self," i.e., "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., what which we have in common, i.e., that which is "of the world" only.

"Sense experience must be the basis of all science." "Science is only genuine science when it proceeds from sense experience, in the two forms of sense perception and sensuous need, that is, only when it proceeds from Nature." (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

When sensuousness, i.e. "feelings," i.e., pleasure-pain, i.e., emotions, i.e., opinions, i.e., dialogue becomes the basis of science, making science subject to "human nature," i.e., "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," only that which "is of the world" can be accepted as reality—the idea being, through the use of the "scientific method" (dialogue) on personal-social issues, that which is external to nature, i.e., external to man's carnal nature, i.e., which requires man to humble, deny, die to his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth is removed (negated), making "lust" (impulses and urges, i.e., deviating from established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., deviancy) the "norm." This is not real science (which is observable and repeatable, i.e., with laws of nature being established for all times and in all places—by God) but so called "science" ("observable and definable," with laws of nature, i.e., man's carnal nature being subject to that which is of the world only). In this way of thinking, anyone restraining, i.e., getting in the way of the child's carnal nature—with their "Because I said so"—"repressing" "human nature," "alienating" the child from other children—based upon their doing wrong and not right (according to the father's/Father's standards)—is creating an unhealthy environment for the growing child ("belonging").

"It was the view of the group that educational objectives stated in the behavior form have their counterparts in the behavior of individuals, observable and describable therefore classifiable."  "Only those educational programs which can be specified in terms of intended student behaviors can be classified." "What we are classifying is the intended behavior of students—the ways in which individuals are to act, think, or feel as the result of participating in some unit of instruction." "Educational procedures are intended to develop the more desirable rather than the more customary types of behavior." "The student must feel free to say he disliked _____ and not have to worry about being punished for his reaction." (Benjamin Bloom, et al., Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 1, Cognitive Domain)

"Bloom's Taxonomies" are "a psychological classification system." "Members of the taxonomy group spent considerable time in attempting to find a psychological theory which would provide a sound basis for ordering the categories of the taxonomy." (ibid.)

It is not that Benjamin Bloom was not warned about his use of so called science in the classroom, calling it science. "It has been pointed out that we are attempting to classify phenomena which could not be observed or manipulated in the same concrete form as the phenomena of such fields as the physical and biological sciences." (ibid.) "Whether or not the classification scheme presented in Handbook I: Cognitive Domain is a true taxonomy is still far from clear."  (David Krathwohl, Benjamin S. Bloom Book 2 Affective Domain) "Certainly the Taxonomy was unproved at the time it was developed and may well be 'unprovable.'"  (Benjamin Bloom, Forty Year Evaluation) Benjamin Bloom dedicated his first "Taxonomy" to Ralph Tyler, his mentor. Thomas Kuhn, who was also mentored by Ralph Tyler "admitted problems with the schemata of his socio-psychological theory yet continued to urge its application into the scientific fields of astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology."  (Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions)

Starting with the child's carnal nature (the child's "lust of the flesh," "lust of the eyes," and "pride of life"), making the child's "sensuous needs," "sense perception," and "sense experience" the means whereby to determine right from wrong, makes that which is of the world the child's only standard for life, negating the father's/Father's authority in the child's thoughts, satisfying his "longing" to "be" in "belonging" to that which is of the world only, so he can do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity. "Behavior science," i.e., dialogue, requires suspending, as upon a cross any command, rule, fact, or truth, i.e., the father's/Father's authority (fear of being judged, condemned, and/or punished for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning) that gets in the way of dialogue, i.e., that prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks the child from being his "self" according to his carnal nature. "Behavior science," i.e., dialogue can only lead to the 'liberation' of the child from the father's/Father's authority—so he can be his "self," i.e., of and for the world only.

"The school must make room for the deviant student." "This person will be able to discriminate among values and to deviate from the moral status quo." "How such persons can be discovered, and, above all, how such persons can be produced in greater number is the major problem for research in character formation." (Robert Havighurst and Hilda Taba, Adolescent Character and Personality)

"[W]e recognize the point of view that truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and fast truths which exist for all time and places." (Benjamin Bloom, et al., Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 1, Cognitive Domain) "Bloom's Taxonomies" incorporate, through dialogue (regarding right and wrong thinking and behaving) "the deviant student's" ideology (Marxism) into the classroom, making the deviant student's way of thinking and acting the "norm." Longing to "be" ("Who am I?" and "Why am I here?") is resolved in the child's carnal nature and the carnal nature of others (the flesh and the world which stimulates it) and not in doing the father's/Father's will (doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth). Bloom simply paraphrased Karl Marx: "In the eyes of the dialectic philosophy, nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred," making Marxism (love of pleasure and hate of restraint) the curriculum "educators" use in the classroom—when you 'change' the "educators," you 'change' the students, you 'change' the parents, you 'change' the community, you 'change' the world. "Concerning the changing of circumstances by men, the educator must himself be educated." (Karl Marx, Thesis on Feuerbach # 3)

The child, contrary to appearance, is the absolute, the rationality of the relationship; he is what is enduring and everlasting, the totality which produces itself once again as such [once he is 'liberated' from the father'/Father's authority to become as he was before the father's/Father's first command, rule, fact, or truth came into his life (separating him from his "self" and the world), of and for "self" and the world only]." (Georg Hegel, System of Ethical Life)

"Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." Jeremiah 17:5, 7

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." Proverbs 3:5-7

"I cause to be" or "causing to be" is different than "I long to be" or "longing to be." Commands, rules, facts, and truth is different than "feelings." You are created in God's image, i.e., to do right and not wrong according to His established commands, rules, facts, and truth. You KNOW by being told which deals with your soul. You know by experiencing which deals with the flesh. Psychology has only one objective, "prevent[ing] someone who KNOWS from filling the empty space" so the child can 'discover' his "self," i.e., be "of and for "self," i.e., of and for the world only. (Wilfred Bion, A Memoir of the Future)

When you reject being made in God's image, i.e., when you refuse to humble, deny, die to your "self," in order to do His will, you only have your image, i.e., your "self," becoming God yourself, thinking and acting according to your carnal nature, i.e., your "feelings," "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, "building relationship" with those of the world, i.e., those of common "self interest," 'justify' (affirming) your (their) "self," i.e., 'justifying' (affirming) your (their) carnal nature, with you (and them) becoming at-one-with the world, i.e., "of and for self" only—fulfilling the gnostic fable of God 'discovering' (becoming) his "self," as the 'divine sparks' unite as one through dialogue, i.e., through dialectic 'reasoning, i.e., 'reasoning' from/through their "feelings," i.e., their carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the world, "lusting" after and being 'justified' by the affirmation of men.

"Few individuals, as Asch has shown, can maintain their objectivity [hold to the father's/Father's commands, rules, facts, and truth] in the face of apparent group unanimity." (Irvin D. Yalom, Theory and Practice and Group Psychotherapy)

Being rejected by those who you want approval from is one of the most painful experiences in life. That is why you must—in order to follow Jesus—die to your "self" (your "lust" for the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates) and pick up your cross daily (die to your "lust" for the affirmation of men), doing His Heavenly Father's will. It is not that believers are against "getting along" with people. It is that "getting along" with people can not get in the way of (supersede) following Jesus, i.e., doing the Father's will—their being in Him ("I AM, that I AM") no longer being of the world ("I think, therefore I am"). "It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23

"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels." Luke 9:23-26

"Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby." (Hebrews 12:5-11)

"Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." "For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak." John 5:19, 30; 12:47-50

"Once the earthly family [with children having to humble and deny their "self" in order to do their father's will] is discovered to be the secret of the Holy family [with the Son, Jesus Christ, and all following Him having to humble and deny their "self" in order to do His Heavenly Father's will], the former [the earthly father's authority system, with children having to trust in (have faith in) and obey the father (their parents)] must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, i.e., annihilated, i.e., negated] in theory and in practice [negated in the children's personal thoughts and social actions—resulting in their no longer "fellowshipping" with one another based upon the father's/Father's (their parents/God's) commands, rules, facts, and truth but, through dialogue, "building relationship" with one another based upon their common carnal desires, i.e., "self interests," i.e., "lusts" of the 'moment']." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4)

Instead of attacking the "church" outright, the attack has been upon the family, i.e., the father's authority, i.e., the "Because I said so" in the home (not that fathers do not discuss things with their children). Negate the father's authority, i.e., "Because I said so" in the thoughts and actions of the children, negating the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process, and the Father's authority in Heaven, i.e., "It is written" is negated in the process. Instead of attacking the "church" the agenda has been to join it, "helping" it "grow," i.e., overcome the father's/Father's authority ("negativity") so it can be (become) an instrument of "worldly peace and socialist harmony," with "the people" becoming one—not according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth which, being "negative," divides (between right and wrong) but according to "the peoples" carnal nature, i.e., their love of pleasure, which, being "positive" unites. Replacing the preaching, teaching, and discussing of the Word of God (weighing the Word of God with the Word of God) with the dialoguing of men's opinions (of the Word of God)—what the Serpent did with the woman in the garden in Eden—to a consensus does the deed, making the "church' apostate, i.e., at-one-with the world—even doing wonderful things in the name of the Lord.

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not ... in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:22, 23 To dialogue God' Word, making it subject to man's opinion (man's carnal desires) is iniquity. You can dialogue your opinion regarding which tree in the garden has the tastiest fruit but to dialogue your opinion regarding "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil," i.e., "It is written" is iniquity (even with someone else's approval, i.e., affirmation), making your "self" (and them) God.

"Every one that is proud in heart [who 'justifies' his "self," i.e., who 'justifies' his carnal desires and dissatisfactions of the 'moment,' i.e. who establishes his "self," i.e., "human nature" over and therefore against the Father's authority, thus negating the fear of God in his thoughts and actions, establishing his "self" as God] is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand [though he affirms others carnal nature over and therefore against God's authority as they affirming his ...], he shall not be unpunished." Proverbs 16:5

Facilitators of 'change,' i.e., psychologists, i.e., behavioral "scientists," i.e., "group psychotherapists," i.e., Marxists (Transformational Marxists)—all being the same in method or formula—are using the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus (affirmation) process, i.e., dialectic 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the student's "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., their love pleasures and their hate of restraint, in the "light" of their desire for group approval and fear of group rejection) in the "group grade," "safe zone/space/place," "Don't be negative, be positive," soviet style, brainwashing (washing the father's/Father's authority from the child's thoughts and actions, i.e., "theory and practice," negating their having a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process—called "the negation of negation," since the father's/Father's authority, and the guilty conscience which it engenders, is negative to the child's carnal nature), inductive 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings," i.e., their "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment'—dopamine emancipation—which the world stimulates, i.e., their "self interest," i.e., their "sense experience," selecting "appropriate information"—excluding, ignoring, or resisting, i.e., rejecting any information, i.e., established command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of their desired outcome—in determining right from wrong behavior), "Bloom's Taxonomy," "affective domain," French Revolution (Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité) classroom "environment" in order (as in "new" world order) to 'liberate' children from parental authority, i.e., from the father's/Father's authority system (the Patriarchal Paradigm)—seducing, deceiving, and manipulating them as chickens, rats, and dogs, i.e., treating them as natural resource ("human-ist resource") in order to convert them into 'liberals,' socialists, globalists, so they, 'justifying' their "self" can do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity.

"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." Jeremiah 6:16, 17

Home schooling material, co-ops, conferences, etc., are joining in the same praxis, fulfilling Immanuel Kant's as well as Georg Hegel's, Karl Marx's, and Sigmund Freud's agenda of using the pattern or method of Genesis 3:1-6, i.e., "self" 'justification,' i.e., dialectic (dialogue) 'reasoning," i.e., 'reasoning' from/through your "feelings," i.e., your carnal desires of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the world (including your desire for approval from others, with them affirming your carnal desires) in order to negate Hebrews 12:5-11, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will, negating Romans 7:14-25, i.e., your having a guilty conscience when you do wrong, disobey, sin, thereby negating your having to repent before the father/Father for your doing wrong, disobedience, sins—which is the real agenda.

"And for this cause [because men, as "children of disobedience," 'justify' their "self," i.e., 'justify' their love of "self" and the world, i.e., their love of the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) which the world stimulates over and therefore against the Father's authority] God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie [that pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the Father's will]: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth [in the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ], but had pleasure in unrighteousness [in their "self" and the pleasures of the 'moment,' which the world stimulates]." 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12
