The Scriptures Warn Us About Our Use of Dialectic "Reasoning" and How to Overcome It.

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." turning man away from the Father and the Son. (2 Timothy 3:13) The only way to not be seduced and deceived is to have faith in and follow after Christ Jesus, doing His Heavenly Father's will. "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily [be willing to be rejected by others], and follow me." Luke 9:23 "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 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 10:33 While some claim that they "know God," they live contrary. "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Titus 1:16 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 Negate the father's/Father's authority system and you negate faith. "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6
