The Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of God

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
(2 Corinthians 4:6) NKJV

Sadly there are people who’ve chosen darkness. They’re in darkness and that’s how they relate to the world. If we show them light they’re going to reject it because it’s not darkness.

The purpose of creation is to bring about the permanent physical separation of light from darkness, day from night, good from evil.

We do not Preach Ourselves

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.
(2 Corinthians 4:5) NKJV

So this isn’t about us. We’re playing by the rules and showing how to interpret evidence. The people of the world today don’t want to hear it because they like the interpretation that they already have. They’re going to lie to keep what they’ve got. They can do that.

Who do not Believe

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

What you believe is a choice. The way that this works in the case of our YouTuber is that he’s made a choice of paradigm. He believes in popular science (SciPop), which, among other things, is a set of axioms which you have to accept in order for the paradigm to be true.

Whose Minds the god of This Age has Blinded

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4) NKJV

If a god is something that people believe will take care of them and make sure that they’re okay, then the god of this age is popular science (SciPop). SciPop is telling everyone that there’s no God, no heaven, no hell, nothing to worry about.

Nor Handling the Word of God Deceitfully

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
(2 Corinthians 4:2) NKJV

We’ve not been deceitful about how we’ve handled the Word of God. At the outset we committed to a deductive approach based on the premise that God can’t lie. If God can’t lie then the Bible is true.

We do not Loose Heart

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.
(2 Corinthians 4:1) NKJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have been called to this ministry and established in it. By the grace of God we will continue in it. It can be very helpful to remember back to when we got saved. For us this was July 1997.

Handling the Word of God

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
(2 Corinthians 4:1-2) NKJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have developed a paradigm which allows us to use physical evidence and empirical observations to confirm the truth: Jesus Christ is the light.
