SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT

   This world system we live in is an accumulation of many systems, operating independently, even though they are branches of the same system---or, different schools of thought.
   These various schools of thought include religion, politics, philosophy, science, as well as the entertainment system of television and radio, movies, music, and sports.
   All of these systems are creations of people, and all of their histories are written and recorded by people.
   Therefore being created by men, this world system, with all of its schools of thought, is an accumulation of the knowledge of men. 
   Consequently, as people live within and under this world system, their minds are filled with the knowledge of this world; and because their minds are filled with the knowledge of this world, they think in the knowledge of this world, or within its various schools of thought; and because they think within these schools of thought, their behaviors and beliefs are formed from the way their minds have been conditioned, or trained, to think.
   As such, not one of these schools of thought within this world system contains the knowledge of God, for God has been purposely left out, or omitted, because God is not one of the schools of thought.  And because this world system is empty and void of the knowledge of God, how are people supposed to gain, or learn, the knowledge of God?
      So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  (Romans 10: 17)
      How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  (Romans 10: 14-15)
   For you see, dear people, this world system we live within and under is designed and created by men to prevent the minds of people from receiving the knowledge of God; therefore, people must hear from a messenger of God with the message from God:  and that message, or Good News, is the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
   Over the past two thousand years, the messengers of God have been going to nations all over the world to take the Good News of Christ, which is the knowledge of God.  They have been establishing churches in nations as well as translating the Bible to various languages so that people all over the world can read the Word of the Lord in their own languages:  for God wants people to know Him and to know His only begotten Son.
   If you have heard about the truth of Christ, then you have heard from a messenger of God.  And if you have heard about the truth of the Bible, you have also heard from a messenger of God.
      So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  (Romans 10: 17)
   Now that you have heard from a messenger of God, what are you going to do with this knowledge?
