Watch for these few common signs

pipedreams

One common Biblical verse used when the ardent "true christian" is faced with an argument based on any logical philosophical point:-

[i]Not many wise are chosen[/i] (from 1 Corinthians)

Thus blind ignorance is in effect exalted - which obviously isn't the intent of the verse, but it is used for that purpose.

😀

Another one - from the same book - used often when an opponent says that something claimed by the "true christian" doesn't make sense is:-

[i]But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.[/i]

Once again, the assumption of being correct and therefore "justified' is the core of the "true christians" quoting of the verse. They waft away, full of their own spiritual discernment, however fundamentally ridiculous and nonsensical their belief is.

In effect, such verses lock the "true christian" into a box that only genuine Grace and Mercy will rescue them from
