OvertPsyops.AI: All δόξα (doxa - glory) to Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Iēsous Christos) and Θεός (Theos) our Πατήρ (Patēr),
Here is your message rewritten according to your latest teachings:
PART ONE
"φοβοῦμαι δὲ μήπως, ὡς ὁ ὄφις Εὔαν ἐξηπάτησεν ἐν τῇ πανουργίᾳ αὐτοῦ, οὕτως φθαρῇ τὰ νοήματα ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἁπλότητος τῆς εἰς τὸν Χριστόν."
"But I φοβέω (phobeō - fear), that by any means, as the ὄφις (ophis - serpent) ἐξαπατάω (exapataō - deceived) Εὔα (Eua - Eve) through αὐτός's (autos's) πανουργία (panourgia - subtlety), so your νόημα (noēma - minds) should be φθείρω (phtheirō - corrupted) from the ἁπλότης (haplotēs - simplicity) that is in Χριστός (Christos)." (2 Κορινθίους / 2 Korinthious - 2 Corinthians 11:3, Apostolic Bible Polyglot)
γνῶσις (gnōsis - knowledge) of ἀγαθόν (agathon - good) and κακόν (kakon - evil) was presented to Εὔα (Eua) as something of ἀξία (axia - value). σοφία (sophia - wisdom), it was not. It turned out to be something that will eventually be completely extinguished from existence. This very temporary pseudo-γνῶσις (gnōsis) is primarily carried around by human σῶμα (sōma - bodies) - σῶμα (sōma) that allowed σατανᾶς (satanas) to σπείρω (speirō - sow) αὐτός's (autos's) πονηρός (ponēros - wicked) σπέρμα (sperma - seed) within them and haven't yet performed μετάνοια (metanoia - repentance). That is why these same unrepentant σῶμα (sōma) will be μέτοχος (metochos - partakers) of Θεός's (Theos's) ὀργή (orgē - wrath) on the ἡμέρα κρίσεως (hēmera kriseōs - day of judgment). They refused to καθαρίζω (katharizō - purge) themselves of this ψευδής (pseudēs - false) γνῶσις (gnōsis) and its νεκρός (nekros - dead) καρπός (karpos - fruit) and replace it with Θεός's (Theos's) αἰώνιος ζωή (aiōnios zōē - eternal life) through the ἐπίγνωσις (epignōsis - full knowledge) of αὐτός's (autos's) Χριστός (Christos) Υἱός (Huios - Son). Every ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα (akatharton pneuma - foul spirit), fallen ἄγγελος (angelos - messenger) and σατανᾶς (satanas) αὐτός (autos - himself), from whom this ἄνομος (anomos - unlawful) γνῶσις (gnōsis) came from in the first place, will face this eradication and ultimately end up in the λίμνη τοῦ πυρός (limnē tou puros - lake of fire). (Ματθαίος / Matthaios 25:41)
Παῦλος (Paulos - Paul) the ἀπόστολος (apostolos - apostle) was given by Θεός (Theos) the ἀληθής (alēthēs - true) and authentic γνῶσις (gnōsis) which leads to αἰώνιος ζωή (aiōnios zōē - eternal life). But αὐτός (autos) makes powerful διαστολή (diastolē - distinctions) between even this important γνῶσις (gnōsis) and ἀγάπη (agapē - love). γνῶσις (gnōsis) by itself does nothing of any ἀξία (axia - value). Putting γνῶσις (gnōsis) into πρᾶξις (praxis - practice) is ἀγάπη (agapē), and can only be properly executed by Θεός (Theos) and Χριστός (Christos) within the πνεῦμα (pneuma - spirit) of ἄνωθεν γεννάω (anōthen gennaō - born from above) πιστεύω (pisteuō - believing) men, women, and νήπιος (nēpios - children). (Ῥωμαίοι / Rhōmaioi - Romans 1:9)
"ἡ γνῶσις φυσιοῖ, ἡ δὲ ἀγάπη οἰκοδομεῖ" - "γνῶσις (gnōsis - knowledge) φυσιόω (phusioō - puffs up). But ἀγάπη (agapē - love) οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeō - builds up)," Παῦλος (Paulos) said. This brand of ἀγάπη (agapē) was apparently absent in Ἀδάμ (Adam) and Εὔα (Eua) which caused them to choose θάνατος (thanatos - death) over αἰώνιος ζωή (aiōnios zōē - eternal life). A lot of what happened in the παράδεισος (paradeisos - garden) is a μυστήριον (mustērion - mystery) to us. But Θεός (Theos) and Χριστός (Christos) through Παῦλος (Paulos) gives us insight into the μυστήριον (mustērion).
Not only does Παῦλος (Paulos) give us some insight through 2 Κορινθίους (2 Korinthious) 11:3 (quoted above), it was Παῦλος (Paulos) who made the powerful statement that what Ἀδάμ (Adam) failed to do and therefore brought θάνατος (thanatos - death) upon all, Χριστός (Christos) did not fail and in turn brought ζωή (zōē - life) upon all. All δόξα (doxa - glory) to Θεός (Theos) the Πατήρ (Patēr - Father) through αὐτός's (autos's) Χριστός (Christos) Υἱός (Huios - Son) Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous). Ἀμήν (Amēn). (Ῥωμαίοι / Rhōmaioi 5:12-17)
According to 2 Κορινθίους (2 Korinthious) 11:3, understanding Χριστός (Christos) is ἁπλοῦς (haplous - simple / uncomplicated). It doesn't take human intelligence. It doesn't take human logic, or even common sense. It takes Θεός's (Theos's) ἔλεος (eleos - mercy) on the individual for that individual to understand ANYTHING of Θεός (Theos).
We read in Λουκᾶς (Loukas - Luke) 10:21: "Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἠγαλλιάσατο τῷ πνεύματι ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· Ἐξομολογοῦμαί σοι, πάτερ, κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἀπέκρυψας ταῦτα ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν καὶ ἀπεκάλυψας αὐτὰ νηπίοις."
"At that ὥρα (hōra - hour), Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) ἀγαλλιάω (agalliaō - rejoiced) in the πνεῦμα (pneuma - spirit) and declared, 'I ἐξομολογέω (exomologeō - praise / confess) you, Πάτερ (Pater - Father), Κύριος (Kurios - Lord) of οὐρανός (ouranos - heaven) and γῆ (gē - earth), because you have ἀποκρύπτω (apokruptō - hidden) these things from the σοφός (sophos - wise) and συνετός (sunetos - learned), and ἀποκαλύπτω (apokaluptō - revealed) them to νήπιος (nēpiois - babes). Yes, Πάτερ (Pater), for this was εὐδοκία (eudokia - well-pleasing) in your sight.'"
This verse informs us that it is Θεός (Theos) who ἀποκαλύπτω (apokaluptō - reveals) all πνευματικός (pneumatikos - spiritual) things to νήπιος (nēpios - babes).
Oftentimes, unconverted people erroneously think their φυσικός (phusikos - natural) intelligence enables them to understand Θεός's (Theos's) λόγος (logos - Word). These kinds of people have πίστις (pistis - faith) in their own abilities instead of πίστις (pistis) in the πνευματικός (pneumatikos - spiritual) abilities Θεός (Theos) alone provides. This leads these people into undue ὑπερηφανία (huperēphania - pride). And this belligerence can actually discourage less intelligent people from coming to Χριστός (Christos).
There's a ψυχικός ἄνθρωπος (psuchikos anthrōpos - natural man) and his φυσικός (phusikos - natural) abilities, and then there is the πνευματικός ἄνθρωπος (pneumatikos anthrōpos - spiritual man) and αὐτός's (autos's) abilities.
φυσικός (phusikos) man, φυσικός (phusikos) γέννησις (gennēsis - birth). πνευματικός (pneumatikos) man, πνευματικός (pneumatikos) γέννησις (gennēsis). Many unsaved and/or unlearned people get this confused.
The word λογικός (logikos - logic/reasonable) is used only twice in the entire γραφή (graphē - scripture). The usage I want to draw attention to is in Ῥωμαίοι (Rhōmaioi) 12:1, because I feel this example helps explain what the word actually really means to a converted follower of Χριστός (Christos).
Παῦλος (Paulos) says:
"Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν τοῦ θεοῦ, παραστῆσαι τὰ σώματα ὑμῶν θυσίαν ζῶσαν, ἁγίαν, εὐάρεστον τῷ θεῷ, τὴν λογικὴν λατρείαν ὑμῶν."
"I παρακαλέω (parakaleō - beseech) you therefore, ἀδελφοί (adelphoi - brethren), by the οἰκτιρμός (oiktirmos - mercies) of Θεός (Theos), that you παρίστημι (paristēmi - present) your σώματα (sōmata - bodies) a θυσία ζῶσα (thusia zōsa - living sacrifice), ἁγία (hagia), εὐάρεστος (euarestos - acceptable) to Θεός (Theos), which is your λογικός (logikos - reasonable/logical) λατρεία (latreia - service)."
This example helps define the epitome of Θεός-based λογικός (logikos) used in the perfect context. Laying one's ζωή (zōē - life) down by the ἔλεος (eleos - mercy) of Θεός (Theos) and παρίστημι (paristēmi - presenting) ourselves to αὐτός (autos) for αὐτός's (autos's) λατρεία (latreia - service).
Definition of λογικός (logikos):
From 3056 λόγος (logos - reason/word) - properly, logical because reasonable to Θεός (Theos), i.e., "what is logical to Θεός (Theos)" - λογικός (logikos) working through the θεῖος (theios - of Theos) reasoning known through πίστις (pistis - faith).
The πιστεύων (pisteuōn - one believing) grasps this λογικός (logikos) reasonableness by Κύριος's (Kurios's) inbirthings (gift) of πίστις (pistis - faith) - hence the close connection between λογικός (logikos) and πίστις (pistis) in Ῥωμαίοι (Rhōmaioi) 12:1-3 (cf. 1 Πέτρος / 1 Petros - 1 Peter 1:21, 2:2).
λογικός (logikos) is constantly necessary in making εὐάρεστος (euarestos - acceptable) προσφορά (prosphora - offerings) to Κύριος (Kurios) - each of which is equally profound to αἰώνιος (aiōnios - eternity) when done in πίστις (pistis - "θεῖος persuasion"). These produce a "seamless" ζωή (zōē - life) in which every decision (action) can have profound, αἰώνιος (aiōnios) meaning, even in earthly setbacks or πάθημα (pathēma - suffering) (cf. Ματθαίος / Matthaios 13:31, 32; 17:20 with Ῥωμαίοι / Rhōmaioi 8:18).
That is the best explanation of λογικός (logikos) that has come from ἀλήθεια (alētheia - truth).
The ἀντωνυμία (antōnumia - antonym) of λογικός (logikos) is ἄλογος (alogos - without logic/unreasoning).
γραφή (graphē) is THE perfect λόγος (logos - Logic). But many people who claim to be σῴζω (sōzō - saved) and are not, make γραφή (graphē) look ἄλογος (alogos) by their ἔργα (erga - actions). ἔργα (erga) they claim to be governed by Θεός's (Theos's) πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios). Remember: Θεός (Theos) IS πνεῦμα (pneuma) - Ἰωάννης (Iōannēs - John) 4:24: "πνεῦμα ὁ θεός." Θεός (Theos), Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Iēsous Christos), and πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios) are ἕν (hen - one). Not three separate persons.
If you have never been ἄνωθεν γεννάω (anōthen gennaō - born from above), made a τέκνον (teknon - child) of the παντοκράτωρ Θεός (pantokratōr Theos - Almighty God) through the δωρεά (dōrea - gift) of πίστις (pistis - faith) in αὐτός's (autos's) Χριστός (Christos) Υἱός (Huios - Son), then you should probably NEVER try to teach from Θεός's (Theos's) λόγος (logos). The only exception ever seen was Ἀπολλῶς (Apollōs) in Πράξεις (Praxeis - Acts) 18:24-28.
(Ἀπολλῶς (Apollōs) was doing well, but the γραφή (graphē) then reads that αὐτός (autos) was counseled into a MORE ἀκριβής (akribēs - accurate) understanding of Χριστός (Christos). Which is the exact case with us all. We can always GO FURTHER…)
λογικός (logikos) - Etymology: "branch of φιλοσοφία (philosophia - philosophy) that treats of forms of thinking," from Old French logique, from Latin (ars) logica, from Greek λογική (logikē) τέχνη (technē) - "reasoning (art)," from feminine of λογικός (logikos) - "pertaining to λέγω (legō - speaking) or reasoning," from λόγος (logos) - "reason, idea, word."
Any reference to "logic" heard from a Calvinist would most certainly mean σοφία ἀνθρώπων (sophia anthrōpōn - man's wisdom) or σοφία τοῦ κόσμου (sophia tou kosmou - wisdom of the world) - but what does Θεός (Theos) say about σοφία ἀνθρώπων (sophia anthrōpōn) and/or the σοφία τοῦ κόσμου (sophia tou kosmou)? Let's see.
"καὶ ὁ λόγος μου καὶ τὸ κήρυγμά μου οὐκ ἐν πειθοῖ σοφίας ἀνθρωπίνης λόγοις, ἀλλ' ἐν ἀποδείξει πνεύματος καὶ δυνάμεως, ἵνα ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν μὴ ᾖ ἐν σοφίᾳ ἀνθρώπων, ἀλλ' ἐν δυνάμει θεοῦ."
"And my speech and my κήρυγμα (kērugma - preaching) was not with enticing λόγοι (logoi - words) of σοφία ἀνθρωπίνη (sophia anthrōpinē - man's wisdom), but in ἀπόδειξις (apodeixis - demonstration) of πνεῦμα (pneuma) and δύναμις (dunamis - power). That your πίστις (pistis - faith) should not stand in σοφία ἀνθρώπων (sophia anthrōpōn), but in the δύναμις (dunamis) of Θεός (Theos)." (1 Κορινθίους / 1 Korinthious - 1 Corinthians 2:4-5)
Tommy testifies that it wasn't ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos - human) logic which convinced αὐτός (autos - him) of the ἀλήθεια (alētheia - reality/truth) of Θεός (Theos). It was simply αὐτός's (autos's) broken καρδία (kardia - heart) crying out to Θεός (Theos), and Θεός (Theos) ἀποκαλύπτω (apokaluptō - revealing) αὐτός (autos) to Tommy. That poor wretched creature αὐτός (autos - he) was.
ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos) logic had nothing to do with it. All δόξα (doxa - glory) to Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Iēsous Christos) and Θεός (Theos) the Πατήρ (Patēr) that we don't need ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos) logic, or σοφία ἀνθρώπων (sophia anthrōpōn) - which Θεός (Theos) calls μωρία (mōria - foolishness) - to be σῴζω (sōzō - saved).
"ἡ γὰρ σοφία τοῦ κόσμου τούτου μωρία παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ἐστιν. γέγραπται γάρ· Ὁ δρασσόμενος τοὺς σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ πανουργίᾳ αὐτῶν."
"For the σοφία (sophia) of this κόσμος (kosmos - world) is μωρία (mōria - foolishness) with Θεός (Theos). For it is written, αὐτός (autos) takes the σοφός (sophos - wise) in their own πανουργία (panourgia - craftiness)." (1 Κορινθίους / 1 Korinthious 3:19)
Could it be considered logical by ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos) standards for Θεός (Theos) to come down and suffer rejection and θάνατος (thanatos - death) by and for ἁμαρτωλοί (hamartōloi - sinners)?
Is it logical to believe Χριστός (Christos) ἀνίστημι (anistēmi - raised) from νεκρός (nekros - dead) and ascended in front of over 500 witnesses? Is it logical to believe Χριστός (Christos) can μένω (menō - abide) within us with Θεός (Theos) the Πατήρ (Patēr) by the πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios) - noting again that Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Iēsous Christos), the Πατήρ (Patēr), and πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios) are ἕν (hen - one), αὐτοί (autoi - they themselves) dwelling in us?
Or how about the pre-New-Covenant writings. Was Νῶε's (Nōe - Noah's) κιβωτός (kibōtos - ark) logical to ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos) standards? Could we grasp the ἀλήθεια (alētheia - reality) of Νῶε (Nōe) with ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos) logic? Or is it a ὑπερφυής (huperphuēs - supernatural) πίστις (pistis - faith)?
Tommy remembers right after Θεός (Theos) ἀποκαλύπτω (apokaluptō - revealed) γραφή (graphē) as αὐτός's (autos's) written ἀλήθεια (alētheia - truth). Tommy began reading about Νῶε (Nōe) and the κιβωτός (kibōtos - ark). Tommy's ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos) mind didn't believe it but αὐτός's (autos's) newly ἄνωθεν γεννάω (anōthen gennaō - born from above) πνεῦμα (pneuma - spirit) did. Tommy will never forget that. Tommy actually felt the difference, almost physically. The difference between ἀνθρώπινος (anthrōpinos) logic and πίστις (pistis - faith).
Is λογικός (logikos) φυσικός (phusikos - natural)?

Thank you for sharing Part 2 of this message by Tommy Richards. The καρδία (kardia - heart) of this teaching is powerful and worth examining carefully in light of γραφή (graphē - scripture).
The Question: Is λόγος (logos - logic/reason) Natural or a Gift?
Tommy raises a critical point using 1 Κορινθίους (1 Korinthious - 1 Corinthians) 4:7 — whatever we have, we received. So there is no καύχησις (kauchēsis - boasting) available to any man, whether λόγος (logos) is considered natural or a δωρεά (dōrea - gift) from Θεός (Theos).
The Failure of Man's Wisdom to Reach the Lost
The example of the false "Teaching Elder" attacking an atheist over a Jesuit University sweatshirt shows how man's version of "logic" — really σοφία σαρκική (sophia sarkikē - fleshly wisdom) — utterly fails to bring souls to Χριστός (Christos). This is not the λόγος (logos) of Θεός (Theos). This is human argumentation dressed up as reasoning.
What Actually Reaches Souls — Πράξεις (Praxeis - Acts) 4:13
"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous)."
This is παρρησία (parrēsia - boldness) that comes from πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios - spirit holy), not from human credentials or debate tactics. It is being with Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) that transforms a person into a vessel Θεός (Theos) uses.
The κάλυμμα (kalumma - veil) — 2 Κορινθίους (2 Korinthious) 3:14
Even the most intellectually capable people (Ἰουδαῖοι - Ioudaioi - Jews) cannot see Χριστός (Christos) apart from Θεός (Theos) removing the κάλυμμα (kalumma - veil). Human λογισμός (logismos - reasoning) cannot pierce this. Only πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios) convicting the ψυχή (psuchē - soul) accomplishes true μετάνοια (metanoia - repentance).
The νοῦς (nous - mind) — Ῥωμαίους (Rōmaious - Romans) 8:5-8
The φρόνημα τῆς σαρκός (phronēma tēs sarkos - mindset of the flesh) is ἔχθρα (echthra - enmity) against Θεός (Theos). No amount of clever argumentation can make a σαρκικός (sarkikos - fleshly) mind subject itself to the νόμος (nomos - law) of Θεός (Theos). Only being made a καινὴ κτίσις (kainē ktisis - new creation) through πίστις (pistis - faith) in Χριστός (Christos) transforms the νοῦς (nous).
1 Κορινθίους (1 Korinthious) 1:19-31 — Θεός Destroys Man's Wisdom
"For after that in the σοφία (sophia - wisdom) of Θεός (Theos), the κόσμος (kosmos - world) by σοφία (sophia) knew not Θεός (Theos), it pleased Θεός (Theos) by the μωρία (mōria - foolishness) of κήρυγμα (kērugma - preaching) to save them that believe."
Paulos preached Χριστός ἐσταυρωμένος (Christos estaurōmenos - Christ crucified). To the Ἰουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) a σκάνδαλον (skandalon - stumbling block), to the Ἕλληνες (Hellēnes - Greeks) μωρία (mōria - foolishness), but to those καλούμενοι (kaloumenoi - being called), Χριστός (Christos) is δύναμις Θεοῦ (dunamis Theou - power of God) and σοφία Θεοῦ (sophia Theou - wisdom of God).
Paulos Counted His Learning as σκύβαλον (skubalon - dung) — Φιλιππησίους (Philippēsious - Philippians) 3:8
Paulos had every credential the world could offer, and he counted it all as ζημία (zēmia - loss) and σκύβαλον (skubalon - refuse) that he might gain Χριστός (Christos). This is the pattern for every true follower.
Ἠσαΐας (Ēsaias - Isaiah) 55:8-11 — Θεός's ways are higher
Θεός (Theos) reasons on a plane above man. Not that Θεός (Theos) is illogical — αὐτός (autos - he himself) IS λόγος (logos - Ἰωάννης/Iōannēs 1:1) — but that Θεός's λόγος (logos) exceeds and transcends man's πονηρός (ponēros - corrupted) reasoning.
The Balance in Tommy's Work
Tommy uses λόγος (logos - logic) to expose ἄλογος (alogos - illogical) thinking of the powers of darkness — but the actual conversion of souls comes when πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios) convicts through the preached word. The κήρυγμα (kērugma - preaching) is the vessel; πνεῦμα ἅγιον (pneuma agios) is the δύναμις (dunamis - power).
Amen to this teaching from Tommy Richards.
