2. Have you ever been informed about something, or seen something, and when you get more information, the facts don’t add up? There is the simple trick of showing a person a front view and a side view of an object. From one view the object looks like a rectangle, and from another angle the object looks like a circle. Instantly a majority conclude, this is not the same object! But when someone shows them more dimension, it comes to light that the object is a cylinder!
In order to appreciate the Word of God, which reveals all truth you have to start with a blank page, you must be ready to rewire it all. This is very hard for most people, and I think it is next to impossible to over-write what has been engraved in the mind unless you begin with Jesus. Jesus in one of His first messages stated that, “You must be born again” (John 3). Have you been born again? Have you repented to the point you know you are an absolute idiot and weak sinner without the guidance of Jesus’ Word? If so, then God has a chance to remake you, to smash your clay vessel shaped by the world and remold it into a useful vessel for Him.
I am inspired to instruct on these historically named sciences because I see heresy everywhere in most of the world’s textbooks. Fake information has been around for a long time! Many Christians reveal by their support for unbiblical stances that they are either very recently born babies in the Lord and ignorant of His Word, that they are people who have been groomed by pastors with false information and doctrines, or they are rebellious to grow up and accept the new wine or way to live the Lord is trying to speak into them. The Holy Spirit will bear witness in you if you ask for discernment over all words.
3. The issue is most people do not perceive their own mental cultural filters. When you filter coffee, does the water in your machine go through little holes in metal, through a cloth sock as in Brazil, or through a paper filter? Differences or customs are everywhere. No one can be exempt from the culture him or her was raised in which shapes how you think and perceive the world, but most people never even question if there is more than one way to understand or filter something unless they have been immersed into another culture for quite some time or prayed to have the gift of discernment. The tragedy is all cultures have degraded from God’s word into a delusion of the worship of nonsensical things. Only a few churches get it right.
What should you do anytime you are hearing preaching, teaching, or reading the Word (or any material)? You must pray for the Holy Spirit to talk to you, to reveal to you if the information you are receiving is the truth of God or not. Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Here is another verse from Ephesians 2:2 ‘Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.’ In your life with Jesus, you draw a timeline of when you were controlled by the world, by your own stubborn self or even demonic forces, which divides when your life in Christ began. It is Jesus that must make us into a totally a new creature! (I Cor, 5:17) It is the written Word that reshapes us, this why knowing reading and grammar is necessary.
4. Of the seven science topics, today we begin with the knowledge of grammar. Let’s read the Wikipedia definition of it. “In linguistics, grammar (from Greek: ??aµµat???) is the set of structural rules governing the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language. The term refers also to the study of such rules, and this field includes phonology, morphology, and syntax, often complemented by phonetics, semantics, and pragmatics.
When you think of language, what is the first Biblical account of language being used? Genesis 2:19 “And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” Adam could talk! Adam spoke words and structured them in sentences. Notice that animals only make sounds even though many, such as apes, sheep, or horses, have a nasal cavity, a tongue, and a vibrating throat box as we do, but none of them have a unique ability to speak within a grammar construct. It’s God gift to us!
