Relativism: The Religion of Current Culture What is relativism in today's Contemporary Culture? Some of todays books, movies, speakers and fake news bring you to the threshold of complete confusion of thought. We as a people are struggling with The truth. The view that every ones truth carries the same weight is a faulty and destructive philosophy. This idea that is based on what is right for you is different- and for different people and based different times. Are all points of view equally valid? Is truth relative to the individual? Is there absolute Truth? If you answered no to the last question you must deny there is a God and that His truth trumps everything. Don't be deceived, there must be be an Ultimate Truth. IF THERE IS A GOD THERE MUST BE ULTIMATE TRUTH. If not you can make up any truth and campaign, that truth is just because "YOU say so." Can you imagine where that leads? Can you imagine the confusion and the uncertainty that will fill the air? We are witnessing the "great indoctrination". Right and wrong are now dependent on whether you believe it to be or not. Rules are for those who believe they must be followed. The Bible makes us see the horrible things that can happen if we continue down this path. The chaos and destruction that will lie in the wake of this thinking will be unimaginable. If we believe in absolute truth then relativism is a lie. Relativism is a truth that is FALSE. Anyone who believes in relativism has to do circular thinking to accept it as a truth and once they do they step on their own belief. Morality and decisions become an anathema. I can do what ever I want to, so shut up! James in the Bible says, "don't be deceived my dear brothers". Christians, don't fall into the trap the devil has set. This is what God protects us from as we read and obey His word. Through all the confusion we will see Him rise up around us, so we can have unsurpassed peace. Society is looking for anyway to do what it pleases. Man has always sought to set themselves up as God and be a law unto themselves. Man is always looking for ways to be immoral without boundaries. Boundaries are for freedom. Romans 10:17."Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ!" There are absolutes and moral boundaries ...Don't believe the false religion of relativism. This is leading to insanity in people's of America.. Do you ever stop and ask the question yourself ..Why in the world would someone think like that? I know I have. The answer lies in Relativism which I think you could make a real case to say, is the first step to total insanity. As we watch the insanity that seems to be all around us today, we watch jaw dropping things happen. This view and religion of relativism addresses the questions; How in the world could you believe that? How could you do that? Why? The world has its own set of morals, and each thinks their moral value has its own weight. It is morality based on "smorgasbord thinking". This type of thinking leads to temptation and sin to be identified as you wish it to be. There is something that is true for all people, it is temptation. You prefer it to go away but it won't. It is Truth. Temptation is our own evil desires. So many in today's culture want the freedom to say and act on anything they want to back up their lifestyle. Much of what we see is the freedom to act out any sexual desire with no holds barred. Darwin's crusade for evolution was to overturn traditional sexuality and has lead to No God, No Creation. This translates to everyone doing what he or she does that he or she thinks is right in their minds. The consequences of this thinking is disastrous and totally destructive, to not only the person but also society in general. Deception is also the opposite of truth. Deception is to entice or bait those who you are in contact with. I have watched good fishermen fish. They use a hook, line, and sinker. The hook is waiting for the fish to bite down on the worm that has a strong hook hidden inside the worm, and then the next step is the frying pan. Deception calls out here fishy, here fishy, ...wham you are hooked and then you are in the frying pan of life to be devoured. James 1:16 "Don't be deceived." Gods word teaches there is absolute Truth. The religion of relativism lies and deceives as it touts there is no Absolutes. If you believe you can pour bleach on a rose bush and it will grow or that aliens from other galaxies are living among us. You have that right! If there is no God then crazy makes sense and we are only worm food. But if there is a God and we were created in His image, then we would all be wise to listen to His voice.
