Without the knowledge of God, the behavior of a man will be no more than a wild animal, or a beast of the field.
Without the knowledge of God, a man will become a devil with the character of Satan: a master of lies, a master of deception, and a master of hypocrisy.
Without the knowledge of God, a man will believe that he is a god on earth: believing he has the authority to forgive sin, the provision for people to go to heaven, and a way to avoid hell.
When people abide without the knowledge of God, they will follow the man they believe is god, and they will become like him: masters of lies, masters of deception, and masters of hypocrisy.
A man without God believes in the god of his religion, which, to him, is God.
A man without God will also believe that the god of his religion abides in a man of the earth, which, to him, is God in the flesh. Thereafter, he will live in total obedience to that man, bow to him and kiss his ring, do as that man says, go where he says go, and even give his own life as a sacrifice unto his God in the flesh.
A man without God will only believe in those things that he is told to believe. He will not question, he will not doubt, and he will not turn his face to the left, nor to the right, for his mind and his heart will always focus on the man whom he believes is God.
Satan is the father of lies, the father of deception, and the father of hypocrisy, and a man without God inherits the characteristics of his father, the devil, for he becomes a master of lies, a master of deception, and a master of hypocrisy.
A man without God creates an image of himself in his own imagination, and he presents himself to others according to the image he has of himself, for he wants others to believe in the image that he appears to be.
In truth, however, he is the opposite of the image he appears to be. Because he has been deceived to believe in a god, he becomes a deceiver, and, operating through his personality, he appears to be a man who believes in God. This man is a servant of Satan, and, like Satan, he does not want others to know his heart, for he is a man of secrets.
Just as Satan convinces people that he does not exist, a man without God does not want others to know that he worships Satan in secrecy. Therefore, the less others know about him, the more he can conceal his own identity with the devil and thereby operate as a secret agent for the god of his religion.
And just as Satan believes he is perfect in all of his ways, a man without God will also think that he is perfect in all of his ways, which is the image he presents in the presence of others: the perfect husband, the perfect father, the perfect employee, the perfect citizen of his community, and perfectly sinless because he believes his religion has cleansed him from his sins: by his participation in rites and rituals, or from water baptism, or from absolution by a man who pretends to be a god.
A man without God does not believe in Almighty God, Creator of the universe, for his faith is in the god of his religion.
A man without God does not believe in Christ, for Jesus, to him, is only an image in his imagination, and the god of his religion has more power than Christ the Lord.
Neither does a man without God believe in the Bible, for the Bible, to him, is forbidden knowledge.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understand as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (I Corinthians 13: 11)
A man without God still speaks as a child, he understands as a child, and he thinks as a child. Because his faith is in a god of his imagination, he has surrendered his mind, his way, his thoughts, and his will; and, like a toddler, he follows the daddy of his religion, for he is unable to think for himself and he is not free to make independent decisions, for he is a prisoner of his religion and still living in chains as a spiritual slave. And unless he submits himself to Christ for salvation, he will never put away childish things.
