Postmodernism: A Convenient Way to Suppress the Truth

We live in the interesting age of postmodernism. 'Postmodernism' claims to be a very open and tolerant ideology as it does not agree that there is one truth, but that there are many truths. This implies that everything is an illusion and that there is no reality. However, if there is no reality, how can the postmodernism say with certainty that there is no reality. Is he not acknowledging reality by implying that reality is 'intrinsic' in everything? Since logic is not found in matter, and logic is real, otherwise thinking would not exist, there must be a reality.

The denial of one reality poses a great challenge to evangelism as postmodernists genuinely believe that there is no valid ground for any absolute truth. To postmodernists, God is a social construct that people create in their own minds. Yet, when it comes to world views, especially religion, they claim to object to how all religions think that they are right. This is to acknowledge that absolute truth, a reality that what people believe can be false. Indeed, what people believe in can be very false. Romans 1:23 states that  people have "changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things". This is to have one's own view of God, a violation of the 2nd Commandment that "thou shalt not make graven images of God" (Exodus 20:4).

Postmodernists are usually not hostile towards any religion, but feel upset whenever anyone claims that one's religion is right. Since they do not believe in any absolute truth, they see Christianity to be just like any other 'religion', and feel shocked and often upset whenever they are told that Christianity is not a (man-made) religion, but that it is the teaching of the Bible which is God's Word. Like the unrepentant thief or murderer running away from the police, postmodernists, "having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart" (Ephesians 4:18).

 It is when they humble themselves and accept that their philosophy is self-refuting and an attempt to deny the moral conscience they have, that the barriers towards accepting the Bible will break down, and they will be prepared to accept God's Laws for what they are - God's unchanging Laws.

Signs of a Person under the spirit of mammon

Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security

Two types of contentment

The world seeks contentment. It seeks to be contented in pursuit of all kinds of things, whether it be money, health, wealth, romance, sex, careers or family. It does not necessarily seek after riches to be content. However, that one does not seek after money as the first priority, but other things that are typically associated with good traditional values, such as family, does not in any way mean that one is content in the godly sense. By no means! A person can be a "conservative" and "religious" but just as earthly as the "liberal". There are two types of contentment: earthly contentment and godly contentment. Earthly contentment finds its fulfillment and satisfaction in things that are passing away, not necessarily money, but also things like family, education and children. Yes, that's right. Many professing American Christians think that they could never be under the spirit of mammon because they care for their families and love their families, a

The spirit behind Debt, the spirit of Mammon, seeks to Blind, Control, Enslave and Dominate by debt

Many people just cannot understand what usury is for what it is. Thus, in order for people to understand what exactly usury is, they must be made to understand debt first. Debt is not merely money to be repaid. It has power. Debt indeed is power, which comes from a source not from God: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).  One can discern that debt has a power behind it if one uses one's godly discernment. Debt brings spiritual bondage to a person, not merely financial bondage, but spiritual bondage. The real issue with debt for all people whether unsaved or saved is that it keeps people from fully serving God. It is a spiritual stronghold of mammon that panders to the flesh, to make a God-hater even more hostile against God, by feeding on his flesh to increase its appetite even more. It is also a spiritual stronghold
