Psychology of Denial

And how can human beings gifted with the ability to analyze complex information ignore facts directly in front of their eyes?

And refusing to see it even when ignoring the information might be disastrous?

Strong emotions, such as desire, greed, pride, revenge, feeling of status, shame, fear of humiliation, among others, may exert an influence over a person's mental ability to interpret the validity or even the existence of facts. This produces “Motivated reasoning” which by nature is bias. The talent to make fact-based decisions may depend in part on the values taught in society and accepted as Social virtues. Those virtues that protect us against the influence of “Motivated reasoning” may be essential for society to survive.

Morals and values

Values are often dependent upon social constructs which work in the mind almost like mathematical formulas of faith. These formulas of faith may be identified as ideology which are defined first as, "A set of doctrines or beliefs that are shared by the members of a social group or that form the basis of a political, economic, or other system."

The French philosopher Condillac applied the term ideology to the history and evolution of human ideas, rooted in a knowing based on feelings or sensation and emotions rather than reason.

Creating graven images begins with an idea and is often a symbol represent institutions. While Religion was the way people took care needy of society it often became an ideology which became the foundation of institution created by men.
The golden calf was part of systems Proverbs describes as one purse created by consent nut hastened to shed blood.
Before such systems become a "snare and a net they capture the thinking of people as an ideology.
What we think we understand in our mind is limited by what we are willing to see in our hearts.

Ideology is "a system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy."

A "system of ideas" is often constructed in our own minds with influences of others and bound together with our own ego.

Our personal dedication to an ideology may be a form of allegiance which keeps us from seeing anything that is contradictory to that which we have come to believe.

In the realm of such ideas facts may no longer matter. The person may become "ideologically driven".

What we are willing to see is determined by our personal levels of pride or humility or lack of the same.

Adam and Eve ate of the tree of knowledge. God gave mankind the tree of knowledge because is knowledge is a valuable tool. But God also gave us the tree of life of which we may eat.

To create an ideology from the Empirical knowledge accumulated through our personal observation and reason can be done but it is an arrogant act of pride to imagine that we, as finite creations, can do so without bias prejudice.

What is often born of our personal prejudice is called our Ideology or our acceptable "science of ideas", meaning the study of our own ideas which we are willing to accept as true.

People may so completely taken by or with their ideology that they have constructed, at least in their own minds, that they are righteous. The will defend that ideology religiously though it may contradict the Logos of Christ.

Any one who presents a contrary view whether it is true or not becomes the enemy. Even the truth itself becomes the enemy and they prefer denial of fact rather than question their ideology.

That constructed ideology becomes an idol and even a point of almost religious worship or form of idolatry.

This advocated ideology may become a substitute for pure Religion and the Corban of Christ. Like the Pharisees they may assure themselves that they are righteous by their ideology while failing to attend to the weightier matters.

They may imagine that their ideology makes them righteous while condemning the world.

But Christ came that the whole world might be saved. He praised sinners and centurions, publicans and tax collectors, [[Pharisees who served in the Sanhedrin and Samaritans.

God does not judge as men do. His judgement is of the Spirit.

Morality is the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. It may include a differentiation of intentions. It may also be connected to a particular system of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a society including the extent to which an action is right or wrong.

Morality comes from the Latin moralitas which means the "manner, character of proper behavior". What is considered to be ethical or a normative ethical systems which may consider the merits of actions themselves in relationship to the rights of others.

Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion, or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal. Some times governments try to become the supreme moral dictator of society.

In determining what is moral or immoral one would often need to look no farther than the Golden Rule, which states that: "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself."

Moral Theories

The Consequentialist theory of morality is based on forms of utilitarianism, where only the consequences, or outcomes, of actions matter. The consequential theory of morality may seem simple since it is based on what is most beneficial to the individual. But long and short term benefits over time may create conflicts.

A Deontological theory is based on certain duties or obligations that are considered intrinsically right or wrong, regardless of consequences. an example is that parents have an obligation to take care of their children and children have an obligation to care for their parents. Immanuel Kant, reasoned one must “act so that you treat humanity, both in your own person and in that of another, always as an end and never merely as a means.”

There may be multiple duties or obligations in your societies Deontological theory of morality which may create moral conflicts. Putting your child welfare first may cause a violation of other duties and obligations such as telling the truth or at least not bearing false witness. But if you have as a duty to love your neighbor as yourself then you must love your neighbor's child as much as your own.

The duties or obligations should be defined and limits are on the way in which you fulfill those duties and obligations without usurping others in the performance of their duties. This of course might include principles as to not steal from others, nor kill them, nor tell lies about them or interfere with the rights of others to fulfill their duties and obligations.

There is also a theory of Justice as Fairness as suggested by John Rawls who describes society as consisting of free citizens who hold equal fundamental rights and must cooperate within an egalitarian system which may include political, constitutional, social, and economic institutions.

Those rights are not evidently determined by nature or nature's God but by a political collective. So the two basic principles are:

1. The equal liberty principle of individual rights to choose the practice of freedom of speech and assembly, liberty of conscience and freedom of thought, freedom of property; and freedom from arbitrary arrest or restrictions that infringe upon those rights.
2. The equal social and economic opportunity.

Rawls presents a great deal of rational thought into his theory but leaves out some of the basic doctrines and values that have guided successful societies in the past.

Many societies included doctrines that prohibited that you even scheme to take anything that is thy neighbors. Or in other words you should not covet anything that is thy neighbors.

Rawls presence complex scenarios of stages where he imagines that society would evolve in understanding to redistribute wealth so that there would be an equal outcome of fairness through some authority established by a vague body politic.

Besides the huge factor of human nature which is a product of individual choices an equality of outcome through the use of political force, democratic or not, has always been an utopian dream the becomes a nightmare of decay and destruction.

Equality of outcome can only be accomplished in Rawls' world by a violation of the first principle of individual rights and an arbitrary authority to limit or extend that violation of individual right. This has never worked indefinitely because it consolidates power of choice. That can only happen by taking the power of choice from one individual and investing it in another.

Any time you take something from your individual neighbor by any means other than his or her choice you are usurping his or her right to choose to distribute, or save, or consume, or invest a thing.

By taking away by any means the right and responsibility to choose how he fulfills the duties or obligations of another we alter the very nature of their soul.

"Freedom is the Right to Choose, the Right to create for oneself the alternatives of Choice. Without the possibility of Choice, and the exercise of Choice, a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing.” Archibald MacLeish

Before a society redistribute wealth collectively they must redistribute rights which includes duties and obligations. If rights come about by nature then consent must be acquired. This consent is often granted to obtain an apparent advantage. That gift, gratuity or benefit is offered in exchange for consent and if accepted liberty is diminished. More important, if power is consolidated or merely accumulated it has a tendency to corrupt parts of the body of society like a tumor or cancer.

Rawls also deploys the just savings principle of intergenerational savings designed to assure that future generations have sufficient capital. All nations today pass on nothing but debt and passing wealth from on generation to the next is hampered if not destroyed by inheritance taxes.

The same ancient societies that included rules and doctrines against coveting also had rules against robbing widows and orphans to say nothing of their rule about the debt expressed in the metaphor of the Sabbath.

While we see others like Utilitarianism state that actions are morally right only if they maximize the good (or, alternatively, minimizes the bad) collectively.

But if you respect the rights of the individual the collective will take care of itself under the doctrine of loving your neighbor as yourself. All the weaknesses of "Virtue theories" are adjudicated in the golden rule.

All moral theories should include the moral obligation to seek the truth, not your truth or my truth but the truth and the whole truth.

All society begins and ends with the respect for the individual but the individual chief duty and obligation is to humbly see the truth about himself and the facts about the intelligence that provides for all life. If you fear the revelation of facts the truth becomes your enemy and lies will lurk about you, but if you are willing to seek the whole truth and provide for it then facts are your friend and freedom will be your companion.

Early Church Checklist

The early Church was warned that a strong delusion would deceive many who failed to repent and do the will of our Father in Heaven. They would become workers of iniquity through the covetous practices of the Nicolaitan making the word of God to none effect again. Early Christians sought the Kingdom of God and His righteousness through the Corban of Christ.

Checking faith

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

The New Testament Church was appointed by Jesus who was the Messiah a.k.a.Christ who was the highest son of David and the rightful king. They were to serve the early Christian community.

At Pentecost everyone who got the Baptism of the Apostles professing Jesus as the Christ were cast out of the welfare system run by the Pharisees through the Temples and synagogues of Herod's government because Jesus said that system of sacrifice or Corban was making the word of God to none effect.

The people of Judea, like the people of Rome, had moved from being a Republic to an autocratic government which eventually oppressed the people, as 1 Samuel 8 predicted through their sloth and covetous practices, according to the prophets and Proverbs and even Polybius. The voice of the people had rejected God and through wantonness electing men who could exercise authority one over the other.

They had more and more slothfully neglected the personal responsibility in their mandated practice of "Pure Religion" through charity alone. The people have become dependent upon government welfare and benefits provided at the expense of their neighbor were snared and entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

Believers of Jesus

Believers in Jesus, who was the Christ, and a different kind of King who taught a different kind of government, were doing something different than Rome and the Pharisees. The Modern Church today is not doing what that early Church did nor are they doing things the way the early Church did things. In many ways the early Church was more like early Israel was meant to be. The Corban of the Pharisees was making the word of God to none effect and therefore not bearing the fruit God intended. The same could be said of the Modern Christian.

Those people who gather in patterns of Tens as Christ commanded expressed their faith by public Baptism and a daily ministration which provided all the social welfare benefits through charity. They were excluded from that public religion or welfare system and had no more access to their Temple treasury and its benefits. That welfare system of the world which had been created first by the Hasmoneans and then by Rome and Herod made the word of God to none effect.

Those believers who were baptized at Pentecost were redeemed from one system much like Egypt.

Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist, Jesus and the early Church advocated a Daily ministration for the needy of the Christian community that was dependent on Charity only and it was not like the system of Corban of Herod and the Pharisees nor the free bread of Rome. It was their practice of Pure Religion that brought them into a Christian conflict with Public religion and the Covetous Practices of the World. History is repeating itself.

Early tithing

All the Early Christians at Pentecost had to suddenly take care of all the needs of their society through charity alone with no forced government welfare or free bread from the Phariseeswho controlled the temple or Rome.

Because the ministers, who were appointed the Kingdom of God by Christ, were not allowed to be like the other governments of the world they could not exercise authority one over the other like the rulers of those other governments who were the fathers of the earth we were not to apply to any longer.

This practice of the real Religion of God brought those followers of Moses and Jesus, who had been called Jews and would be called Christians in Antioch, into conflict with people like the Pharisees who were engaged in the covetous practices of public religion through the temples of Herod and would eventually bring about a Christian conflict with Rome and its public religion and temples.

The Early Church was doing many things that the Modern Church does not do and the Modern Church does many things the Early Church refused to do which got Christians persecuted by different governments of the world from time to time. Still, Early Christians not only survived but they thrived during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.

The tithing and all the different offerings were freewill offerings because there was no enforcement means.

The Levites were tithed to according to that service. What service?

The temple priest were providing all the social welfare for the people of Early Israel through freewill offerings even before they strayed from The Way righteousness and Herod made his temples out of stone.

From the beginning the Stones of the Altars were to be living stones. The stones and Tabernacles were symbols of a system the fed the social bonds of a kingdom of God and His righteousness through the perfect law of liberty and love.

The early Church provided all social welfare for the people through a daily ministration of pure Religion unspotted by the "world" of those rulers who called themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.

We are told that “the primitive Christian demonstrated his faith by his virtues; and it was very justly supposed that the Divine persuasion, which enlightened or subdued the understanding, must at the same time purify the heart and direct the actions of the believer”

The Modern Christian is often seen doing daily what those Early Christians were persecuted and even killed for not doing. We may use the same words but their meanings and usage have often changed over the years. Links are provided for your convenience and examination.

Comparison check list

This Christians check list is a comparison between what early Christians and Modern Christians with some biblical references that should come to mine.

Might Not be a Christian	Might be a Christian
Thinks the word Christian is defined, "a person who has received Christian baptism or says they are a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings but covets the benefits of the world."	Believes Christian is defined, "a person who believes in and follows The Way of Jesus Christ, doing what he said." By caring about his neighbor's life, liberty and property as much as his own.
Says they Believe in Jesus Christ but does not do what He said.	Strives to do what Jesus Christ said to do. And attends to the weightier matters.
Does not do what the early Church did about the welfare needs of the people in the practice of Pure Religion but sees nothing wrong with the types of welfare offered by the world.	Does do what the early Church did by providing welfare for one another by gathering in a network of tens as commanded by Christ through charity rather than force.
Believes in Socialism to help the needy of society and because of their covetousness they are Workers of Iniquity.	Believes in Charity only to help the needy of society in the practice Pure Religion.
They may legally be forced to join systems of forced healthcare because they have no voluntary one in place.	They have their own system of health share based on love, charity, and would be exempt from government sponsored Health Care (like the Amish) and from systems based on force .
Covets his neighbor's goods through Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other.	Strives to provide a Daily ministration based on Charity by daily Sacrifice.
Sought a system of social Welfare like the Corban of the Pharisees or just went along and are often Workers of Iniquity.	Seeking and working diligently for a system of Welfare based on Charity alone.
Ministers tell the people if they need bread they can pray to men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.	Ministers tell people to supply bread to the needy of their congregations by faith, hope, and Charity through the Perfect law of liberty.
Ministers downplay the importance of DOING the Word of God suggesting that what you think or say will save you.	Ministers tell the people that doing the will of the Father in Heaven is a sign of true faith and not doing so is a sign that their faith is dead and they are in need of repentance.
Ministers tell the people it is okay to covet benefits as long as they are provided by governments who take from your neighbor or borrow against the future of the people.	Ministers tell the people to provide benefits through the practice of Pure Religion and if they want Eternal life they shall not covet their neighbors goods even through the governments of the World.
Ministers tell the people that forgiveness simply takes place in the mind.	Ministers explain to those who were forced to pay into a now bankrupt society, that forgiveness also applies to forgiving those debts and how there is a choice to go a different way as Christ and John the Baptist instructed..
Ministers tell the people to obey men who claim authority but do not tell you why your under their power even though Paul would not go under the power of any.	Ministers help the congregation exercise what Jesus called the "weightier matters" so they may have a right to obey God rather than man.
Ministers "say" to repent but do not tell you what that means.	Ministers tell you what you are to Repent of and why.
Ministers tickle their ears to make them feel good.	Ministers encourage them to do good and rebuke them in love when they do not.
These false Christians do not like to be told they are not doing what Christ said.	True Christians appreciate the truth and actually strive to do something to change their conversation in the world.
