Ecclesiastes 12: 13
13. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
The problem with mankind and this type of Godless, so called "wisdom" is that it is devoid of the truth from God and of God".
This is not to say that we have to live day by day here on earth in sinless perfection while we yet live in this mortal body, but we are to live in awe of and reverence to our Creator and be mindful that HE has laid out very clearly in written Word which has been preserved over millenia, about what HE expects from us, His creation.
Unfortunately, all of the so called Great minds and philosophers of the ages all seemed to be ignorant of and devoid of any type of understanding or relationship with the very GOD who created them and gave them life as well as everything else they may have had.
There is some salient of truth in this comment from Aristotle. He does recognize that the CORE and essence of man's inner being while unregenerated (unsaved) is BASE and VILE. Self serving and centered with no fear of God or anything holding back any inhibitions of anything. That is why unsaved people have no qualms about debasing themselves or others and also have ZERO shame or guilt.
Have to get ready to go teach this morning. Have a blessed day and be mindful of the things of God and give HIM all the praise and Thanks for what HE has done already for you that lasts an eternity!
Have a great day all.
