"Science Falsely So Called"

Today's Text O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called. 1 Timothy 6:20

Human knowledge of both material and spiritual things is partial and imperfect; therefore many are unable to harmonize their views of science with Scripture statements. Many accept mere theories and speculations as scientific facts, and they think that God's Word is to be tested by the teachings of “science falsely so called.” ... Men have endeavored to be wiser than their Creator; human philosophy has attempted to search out and explain mysteries which will never be revealed, through the eternal ages. The Great Controversy, 522. To many, scientific research has become a curse. God has permitted a flood of light to be poured upon the world in discoveries in science and art; but even the greatest minds, if not guided by the Word of God in their research, become bewildered in their attempts to investigate the relations of science and revelation. The Great Controversy, 522. God is the foundation of everything. All true science is in harmony with His works; all true education leads to obedience to His government. Science opens new wonders to our view; she soars high, and explores new depths; but she brings nothing from her research that conflicts with divine revelation. Patriarchs and Prophets, 115. God is the author of science.... Rightly understood, science and the Written Word agree, and each sheds light on the other. Together they lead us to God, by teaching us something of the wise and beneficent laws through which He works. Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 426. A knowledge of true science is power.... But while the knowledge of science is power, the knowledge that Jesus came in person to impart is still greater power. The science of salvation is the most important science to be learned in the preparatory school of earth. The wisdom of Solomon is desirable, but the wisdom of Christ is far more desirable and more essential. Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 19.

My Thoughts: My friend, all true wisdom comes from above. Many today look at wisdom as an attribute that can be learned and developed, but in reality, true wisdom comes from receiving Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. The Scriptures declare “But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:24). “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:” (1 Corinthians 1:30). The Son of God is the only being in the universe that can present to us the true nature of God for He is the Son of God. Jesus prayed saying “Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:1-3). A knowledge of God is essential to our salvation and that knowledge comes through receiving the Son of God. Our whole salvation is based upon us receiving the life of the Son of God. Notice what the apostle John says in 1 John 5:11 “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” When we receive the Son of God into our hearts, we are receiving the very life of God imparted to us by His Son. “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;” (John 5:26). How sad it is today that the whole of the Christian world has received a counterfeit in place of the true. They have received a being called “God the Son” who in reality is not a son but is only a metaphor. By the acceptance of the trinity as God, the world has been deceived into receiving a counterfeit life which in reality is no life at all. The doctrine of the trinity has deceived us into receiving a counterfeit in place of the true. It has led us into a false experience of righteousness by faith, and as such we are “… wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” (Revelation 3:17). In the last days all will be tested and through this test it will be seen who truly has the life of Jesus living within their hearts. My friend, it is time to look away from the false god of the trinity which has no power to transform your life, unto the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ, that He may impart His life unto you through His Son. Won’t you open your heart to Him today? God bless,
