Authentic freedom is a life of liberty from bondage to persons, things, or ideals— whether cultural, religious or political—that subscribe your dependence upon them rather than upon God alone.

Freedom is not a tangible state of existence that can be merely acquired at a store counter, nor can it be purchased with silver, gold or by any form of material power. Freedom cannot be regulated by human agencies because it is not possible for men to give or take it away (I’ll explain this later). Freedom is more than just a mindset or a state of being that is determined by ones own choice. Nor is it a philosophical dialog of ideas that eventually gets lost in translation. Freedom transcends human logic and mere imaginary mind games that really are nothing more than man’s vain attempt to contain it, control it, or sell it. Freedom is not subject to the debate of the creation, no matter how brilliant or intelligent it presumes itself to be. Freedom is none of these things. Whatever creation attempts to conjure up to define freedom is but a mere counterfeit of the reality of it, and is a vain and powerless pursuit.

Authentic freedom is a life of liberty from bondage to persons, things, or ideals— whether cultural, religious or political—that subscribe your dependence upon them rather than upon God alone. Authentic freedom refuses to be inhibited by ideologies steeped in fear, laced with hate for the truth, and warmly glazed over with cheaply peddled words uttered by moronic, uninformed, manipulated, and self-righteous neophytes that have been affirmed by their own kind. Sheer desperation persuades them to hold off the gut wrenching conviction that they are wrong concerning biblically based freedom.

Their idea of freedom is but a semantic game designed to declare humanism as the standard of all things, that man is his own god; therefore what he sees as truth is truth. In their realm, there are no absolutes only chaos. No matter how destructive, chaos is where we are supposed to discover our origin. Humanism has proven itself to be one of history’s most savage and intolerant faiths. The history of humanism is one of terror, slavery, and persecution. Inevitably, due to the heavy burden of lack of living proof to substantiate their twisted beliefs, the neophytes must re-brand themselves to continue their historic battle to establish themselves as “God.â€
