Problem with human creativity

Like the Pentacostal movement, 远志明 creatively concluded the word "船"
in his topic <<神州>>, as Noah's "一舟八口", and in
<<老子与圣经>> 老子 is God's prophet, is rather ridiculous. I
would say he's read many chinese literatures, but his lack of
understanding is the result of what Peter would say in 2nd Peter 3:16
"...信中有些难明白的，那无学问、不坚固的人强解，如强解别的经书一样，就自取沉沦。"

As a result, one can see Mr. Yuan's theological understanding is
a mess. I can assure you he will not be able to find the relationship
between a just and righteous God and a merciful God. To him, if God is
as fierceful today as before, that would be mean.

Secondly, Lao
Zhi cannot be prophet of God because there's no mention of God in
DaoDeJin. Mr. Yuan cannot see the difference between common revelation
(things revealed to all) and special revelation (only to God's chosen
ones).

As for the word and other words mentioned by Mr. Yuan in
relationship to Biblical accounts, I would have to first ask of the
source of his discovery, and not just basing this on his own
imagination or if he ever claimed God spoke to him. If by creativity, I
could link more chinese words to Biblical accounts than he did in
<<神州>>. But if they are not true, I would shame God. And
since God is perfect, I would be in trouble. True, there are words that
could link to Biblical accounts, but you do it with wisdom, not with
your creative stupidity. For example the word "样", "不像样", is
philosophically biblical.

Obviously, as long as one's
creativity can link anything to God regardless of the truth, Mr. Yuan
would like to be in the picture. Like the Charismatic believers. They
do not realize that by abandoning the truth, lack of careful studying
the facts, they have already abandoned God. We must pray for them.
Christ said in Matthew 7:21-23, "not everyone calling me Lord shall
enter into the Kingdom of Heaven", these including those who've done
works in Jesus' name, and He will say to them, "I never knew you,
depart from me". Evil doesn't just mean hating God, it could cover
those who think they love God as well.

So we must always fear God, and not be trapped by our pride.
