“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”
–Romans 1:27
favorable opinion
especially: excessive appreciation of one’s own worth or virtue
The world has MANY conceits.
One of the world’s most noticeable conceits (probably because the idea is so highly promoted by the world itself) is the one where the world (as well as any authority the world has raised up) pretends–sometimes even believes–that it is smarter, more intelligent and wiser than those who disagree and/or oppose it.
This conceit is dragged out practically every time the world is called on its many stories–many of which are simply too fantastic and/or nonsensical with which to agree IF one spends a few minutes taking the matter under consideration.
“You are doubting Stephen Hawking? Hawking was a genius!”
“We are a proud member of the reality-based community!”
“You’re questioning Albert Einstein? So you think you are smarter than Einstein? Who do you think you are?”
This is particularly true of the world’s intellectual pit bull: science.
Science is presented as some sort of all-knowing worldly authority on EVERYTHING, never mind that it is little more than an ancient, pagan religion which–having been cleaned up for public view–issues a never-ending stream of stories to explain why things are the way things are.

This is especially noticeable during science’s main thrust, which is to attack and attempt to discredit every facet of God’s Word. Science is presented as a sort of high intellectual construct, towering above all else, issuing its decrees while ever proposing more attacks via its many “theories.”

Meanwhile, any and all who disagree with the foolish and bizarre stories of science are characterized by the language of the world’s conceit: as “primitive,” “ignorant,” suffering from “mental health issues” or “superstitious.”

Increasingly, the world’s language of its conceit includes the words “religious” and “Christian“–though the two words have a COMPLETELY different meaning.

Jesus Christ proclaimed the difference between the wise man and the foolish one about 2000 years ago.
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
“And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”
–Matthew 7:24-27
Still, the world–and increasingly, those who live in the world–smugly believe they are the bee’s knees.
But, this exhibition of the world’s excessive opinion of its own intelligence was foretold long ago.
It all must happen before the return of Jesus Christ ushers in new management for the earth on which we live.
In the meantime, believers who know the truth must suffer the pinpricks of the deluded.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
–Proverbs 3:5
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“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
