Bible Summary. There is really no debate in the Nature vs Nurture debate. Both sides are wrong. Through Jesus we have a choice and the wisdom to do right despite our heritage or environment. In reality the major reason for us taking a strong position either way in the nature vs nurture argument is to avoid God, and to avoid our real purpose in life.

Romans 3:20. If you have a secret sin in your life, do not think that your good works will make up for that sin. God is clear in the Bible on what sin is and the consequences of sin.

Many of us have secret sins. Examples of secret sins include adultery, lying, lusting, and stealing. From a Christian perspective, these sins are revealed to us through the knowledge of God's commands that are embodied in the Ten Commandments. If we were not aware of God's commandments, we would not even know we were in sin, and thus there would be no secret to keep.

John 14:17, The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. As Christians, the Holy Spirit resides in us to comfort us, to guide us, and to be the Spirit of Truth in our lives. The Holy Spirit enables us to discern what is true and what is not.

Matthew 13:15. If you continually ask yourself, “Why am I unhappy”, it may be because you do not have Christ in your life. The Bible tells us that someone that is dull, listless, and looking inward on everything is far from God. It is this type of unhappy lifestyle that negatively affects both the mind and body.

Job 33:30. What is prophecy and the purpose of prophecy?

Numbers 12:6. Most of us have a vague understanding of the word prophecy, but what is prophecy?

1 John 4:2. The Bible is very plain when it comes to giving us advice on determining the validity of visions and revelations. Not every prophet, proclaimer, sage, soothsayer, dream, vision, and so on are of God and are speaking the truth about the future. There is a simple test to determine if someone or a vision is of God or not.

Bible Summary. God can see the future because he is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. No one else can see the future unless it is revealed to them from God. God is awesome because he is able to do more than just see the future, he is able to declare what the future will be. Seeing the future and declaring the future is something that only God can do.

John 16:4. God can see into the future. It is important to Him that we know and have faith that he can see the future. This knowledge that what God says about the future is true becomes the essence of our faith. If we read in the Bible that God promised something and then it becomes true, then this becomes the evidence for our faith in God.

Daniel 2:22. God can see the future because he is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. No one else can see the future unless it is revealed to them from God. All knowledge and truth comes from God. All man can do is accumulate knowledge, be it truth or untruth.

When most of us think of knowledge, we are thinking of the knowledge that man has acquired over thousands of years. The Bible tells us that the real source of all knowledge and truth comes from God. All knowledge can be divided into two categories. There is revealed knowledge that God has revealed to mankind, and then there is secret knowledge that God has not revealed to mankind. The greatest mystery that God has revealed to mankind is in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus revealed God's salvation plan to mankind as well as made known in human form the nature of God.

1 Corinthians 2:16. Christian spiritual warfare is totally focused on the mind. What is in the balance is whether our mind will be controlled by the natural man or by the Spirit. The natural man is no match for God's Spirit, but it is our choice if we let our flesh control our mind or if we let the Holy Spirit rule in us.

Bible Summary. The Bible tells us that God is the source of all knowledge. Mankind does acquire knowledge, but mankind's accumulated knowledge is the not the source of all knowledge. God is the source of all knowledge. By seeking God (the knowledge of God) mankind is able to discover God's truth. God's truth is much better and much greater than all of mankind's acquired knowledge.

Bible Summary. God nature is perfect. The essence of God's divine nature is love and righteousness. He is the source of a divine love called “agape” love. This is a love of unmerited favor. It is a love that is offered to all of mankind through God's grace. God's divine nature is also the source of righteousness in the world.
