Objection to the Gospel of Jesus Christ #2: The Gospel of Jesus Christ makes me out to be a spiritual robot!

Acts 22:14,15 And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth; for thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

The objection itself is by sin spoken in its own speech through one who is deceived that all reality must be contained within the 'emotional intelligence' of their present heart. As well, it is a pretense that God has certain limits beyond which He either cannot or will not go, such actions based purely and absolutely on God possessing the same heart as the one objecting.

This objection is an absolute denial of the real, literal new birth in Jesus Christ. In truth those who are born again in Christ receive a new heart as well as a new spirit. This new heart is the heart of God. If men possessed a heart that was the equivalent of God's, they would not need another or to be born again. But God says, as spirit and as life:

Ezek 36:26,27 And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and keep mine ordinances, and ye shall do them.

The objection is an appeal to the old creature as if it were the only creature possible and to pride, such pride absolutely founded on the lie that no new heart is necessary or indeed, no superior wisdom exist than that which was used to formulate the pride and question. It is a lie predicated by sin (as always) to make it seem the same speech of sin that put forth the accusation must be used to answer it, else no answer can be heard. It is clearly understood then to be a standard trap of Satan in the absolute denial of the power of the Word of God.

The objection is predicated to make oneness with God in the real and literal new birth in Christ seem avoidable even for the elect in making it undesirable as an emotional manipulation of th old heart to be one with God. This perpetuation of self is sin and is active witchcraft and sorcery, deception/deceit.

As well, it is a denial of the fall of man and the existence of sin. Sin pretends it doesn't exist, even as it has stolen the very soul of the one so objecting. The theft is made obvious in that the one through whom sin speaks thinks to have spoken a truth that would confound God or expose any answer to it as being possessed of the same heart through whom it was spoken. But God is not mocked. The 'emotional wisdom' of the one so objecting cannot desire the true wisdom of God as the true wisdom of God does away completely with the lie. It seems a 'common sense' among men that one man cannot stand in the way of the 'free will' of another and these deceived persons are then used of sin to equate God with themselves. But Satan was cast as profane for equating his own heart and his own 'emotional wisdom' with God:

Ezek 28:2-10 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not God,) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God: behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee; by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures; by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God, therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas. Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.

Irrespective of his own proud speech which is powerless to create anything, Lucifer is punished by God through His Word and is cast into the lake of fire.

Rev 20:10-14 And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [that] of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which [were] in it, and death and hades gave up the dead which [were] in them; and they were judged each according to their works: and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, [even] the lake of fire.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
