“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
–Romans 1:22
REARRANGING THE DECKCHAIRS ON THE TITANIC
Those who believe themselves to be wise but are DECEIVED go through their very own intellectual version of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
Because they deal in trickery and deceit, they believe they themselves are not victims of it. They may believe that they themselves ONLY have access to the truth.
But they are deceived: the truth NEVER originates in lies; lies never directly proceed from the truth.
They buy into a heavy web of deceit. They memorize the lies; organize them to aid in their remembrance; promote them to their friends; and ponder them.
Yet no matter how organized and well-sounding lies are, they are still not the truth.
Likewise, those who are deceived may know all the lies; may even believe them to be true; may organize these falsehoods to be remembered more easily; and, may be thought wise among their fellows because they have recall of popular fables.
All of this internalization of deceit is merely a rearranging of the deckchairs of their minds, before their soul sinks into destruction.
Men who think highly of themselves, and boast of their talents, excellence, and usefulness–who compare themselves not with the law of God, but with their own defective ideas of the characters of their fellow-men, are living exhibitions of pride, weakness, and folly.
—Family Bible Notes on 2 Corinthians 10:12
“For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.”
–2 Corinthians 10:12

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
