Sigmund Freud’s Thoughts About People

“I have found little that is ‘good’ about human beings on the whole.  In my experience most of them are trash.”

-Sigmund Freud

Now this doesn’t necessarily invalidate any system that Freud came up with.  However, when you take into consideration that the system he invented, psychoanalysis, has as one of its primary goals to treat psychological and emotional illness, you have to ask yourself if a person who thought that most people are trash really had other people’s best interests at heart as he developed his system.

The Global Warming Scam

Many have doubted the claims on Global Warming.  There’s just too much information against it to simply believe it without investigating further.  And the simple fact that even questioning the truth of Global Warming brings out the critics from the woodwork causes concern.

The Global Warming pundits took a great hit recently when a server at the University of East Anglia was hacked containing emails and documents from well-known scientists supporting Global Warming.  The University has disclosed that the documents and emails that have been leaked were authentic.

Five points come out:

  1. Prominent environmental scientists organize a boycott of scientific journals if those journals publish scholarly material from global warming dissidents.
  2. The scientists then orchestrate attacks on the dissidents because of their lack of scholarly material published in scientific journals.
  3. The scientists block from the UN’s report on global warming evidence that is harmful to the anthropogenic global warming consensus.
  4. The scientists, when faced with a freedom of information act request for their correspondence and data, delete the correspondence and data lest it be used against them.
  5. The scientists fabricate data when their data fails to prove the earth is warming. In fact, in more than one case, scientists engaged in lengthy emails on how to insert additional made up data that would in turn cause their claims to stand out as legitimate.

Train Yourself For Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7-8 “Train yourself unto godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way…”

Paul essentially tells Timothy to be at work in the spiritual gym. The word “train” is the Greek word “gumnaze” from where we get our word gymnasium. It is a mistake that we make to think that we can simply be spiritual without any effort or at least with minimal effort. A little 15 minute quiet time with prayer and reading the Word and we are invincible. Paul tells Timothy to TRAIN and makes as a comparison the physical training of the body. Timothy knew all too well the rigorous training that athletes went through and he would make the connection that Paul was saying, “In the same way athlete physically train, you need to spiritually train yourself.”

This is a slap in the face to the modern evangelical thinking of “I’ll just read my daily devotional from Oswald Chamber’s My Utmost for His Highest and I’ll be good to go–I’ll be close to Jesus and I’ll know His will.”

If only the Christian life were so simple and easy.
