The Underlying Phantom Philosophy Of Unbelief

Nihilism, the religion of Satan, is doubt and denial of the inescapable truth of God

I approximate that half of the world's people suspect there is a Creator and the other half suspect there is not, regardless of whatever they profess to believe. I also suspect that the number of true believers, in Jesus Christ and Jehovah God as Creator, may be as many as 10% of the of the total population. This estimate is not based upon global, religious, professions of faith or the numbers which religions' claims, but upon global visible action, inaction, and attitudes. Things like what people do, or don't do, the entertainment they prefer, where they spend their money, and the leaders they choose. 

A thing called nihilism grows out of unbelief's cynicism and rejection of the obviousness of the truths of God. It is the opposite of faith, and commitment to that same inescapable obviousness seen in nature and recorded in the Bible. All things have a positive resisted by a negative, light and darkness, good and bad, up and down, in and out, hot and cold, true and false, belief and unbelief, God and Satan. Every person is on one side or the other of the truths of God, seen in nature, verified in God's word and convinced of by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, in John 1:9, that He "enlightens every man that comes into the world", but some will deny and oppose Him anyway. That is what Nihilists do.

God's word illustrates the Nihilist in Romans 1:19-21.    " Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse;  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."

Webster's definition of Nihilism is short and simple:  
A viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless.

Wikipedia expands upon the subject:
Nihilism is the philosophical viewpoint that suggests the denial of, or lack of belief in, the reputedly meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Moral nihilists assert that there is no inherent morality, and that accepted moral values are abstractly contrived.

If all that were true, and there were no Creator God, and we were evolved from nothing into a speck of life, then, after billions of years …. into humans, the conclusion of that premise is plain. Humanity would have the same pointless value and destiny of flees, lice and chiggers …. sucking the blood of others to stay alive a few more days before descending back into eternal nothingness.

The underlying, phantom philosophy of Nihilism, I think, was Satan's claim to Eve, in the Garden of Eden, that you cannot trust God. That seed of doubt and denial, planted that day right next to God's two trees of Knowledge and Life, has grown into many global religions of falsehood and thus spiritual negativity. Every religion, without Jehovah God and Jesus Christ at its center, is false and a negative force for Nihilism, in the final analysis .... at the Great White Throne of God.

"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them .... Be it known unto you all .... that by the name of Jesus Christ ... whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead .... doth this man stand here before you whole. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:8-12.

Where God is, there is hope. Where He is not, there is hopelessness. Life only has meaning in the light of that truth. The hope that comes with faith in God and His remedy for sin, Jesus Christ, brings with it the only real reason to live and be at peace. Nothing else is meaningful enough, and permanent enough, to inspire and motivate a life into worthy pursuits. What power can possibly remedy the spiritual sickness of Nihilism plaguing the youth of today? Seeking, living for, and serving God and His purpose for us all ... Faith, worship, love, obedience, peace, life , in a word, Christlikeness.

POLL: 89 PER CENT OF UK 

GEN-Z-ERS SAY THEIR LIVES 

ARE “MEANINGLESS”

From InfoWars Newsletter

Societal malaise of nihilism evident in survey results.

A new poll out of the UK reveals that a staggering 89 per cent of young people aged 18-29 feel their lives are meaningless and without purpose.

30 per cent of youngsters complain about being “stuck in a rut,” while 84 per cent say they are failing to “live their best life.”

One of the primary reasons cited for failing to achieve happiness and purpose is a lack of finances, according to 45 per cent of respondents.

The survey, conducted by Yakult UK, found that 80 per cent of people across all age ranges felt they were living without purpose, but that number drops to 55 per cent for people over the age of 60.

More than a third of Brits would completely start their lives over given the chance.

While by no means the only reason, many have argued that the emergence of mass shootings in the west by young men can partly be attributed to the nihilistic malaise that many teenagers grow up experiencing.
