The mind is an amazing instrument. When the mind of man pursues God – well, note Romans 12:2; And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. God reminds Job: Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or who has given understanding to the heart? (Job 38:36). Our mind must be renewed because of what Romans 8:7 tells us: Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. If we refuse to allow God to change the basic condition of our mind, this is the result: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting (Romans 1:28).
None of us should want the disputer to dictate belief. No, we should want TRUTH to reside in our mind. But to try to reconcile their disputes with Truth only stirs up confusion. Yet, if we will choose to pursue God, we have a great promise that makes minuscule any earthly choice: You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You (Isaiah 26:3).
