If You Don't Believe in the Spiritual War, You Are Already On The Wrong Side

There are two sides in the spiritual war. On the one side are those who have chosen to be for God and Creation. On the other, those who have chosen to be against God and Creation. 

But what about those who choose not to believe in the reality of the spiritual war? 

This is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

People who choose not believe in the reality of the spiritual war choose not believe in the reality of the spiritual.

People who choose not believe in the reality of the spiritual, choose not believe in God.

People who choose not to believe in God also choose not to believe in Satan.

Unbelievers believe their unbelief has allowed them to transcend all spiritual considerations. 

Unbelievers believe their despiritualization is liberty. 

This is a delusion. Though their consciousness may be despiritualized, they are still spiritual beings, but they are spiritual beings who have forfeited the spiritual resources needed the resist the Satanic forces of objectification in the given world.

Put another way, unbelievers have surrendered all of their internal (spiritual) power and are completely at the mercy of external (material) power.  

And what about those who think they have chosen to be on the side of God and Creation but are actually on the side against God and Creation?

Best leave that for another day.

They think putting a chip in their hand so they can be tracked by their place of employment, the government, the bank, Walmart, Amazon, etc. is "liberty." I honestly question if they are in fact not demons walking around in empty shell humanoid bodies rather than actual humans.

@ jorgen - I am inclined to think that despiritualization is a supreme form of dehumanization. When human deny their own spiritual nature, the essentially deny their full humanity. Unlike other forms of dehumanization, this one is self-inflicted.

I agree. The "despiritualization" that many embrace is a very odd elevation of materialism dressed in spiritual garb. I believe this is the proto-Antichrist religion. If Jesus said, "I am the Way," then Antichrist says, "there are many ways..." If Jesus said, "go and sin no more," then Antichrist says, "take Pride in your chosen identity."

For those who without serious reflection take the side of Evil, I believe that God provides a way for such souls to see their error so that they can repent. For others who willfully and knowingly embrace Evil, well, their fate will be similar to all the other prideful and evil people in the Bible who let their hearts be hardened....

What's truly terrifying to contemplate is that if we are entering the time of Revelations, it is not Christians who should be terrified, but the Fallen World. I am reminded of the Prophet Daniel who interpreted the writing on the wall for the king: you have been weighed and found wanting; tonight your kingdom will be destroyed. The very God who spoke the Universe into existence may be close to rendering Judgment a second time (the first with water; the second with fire).

Even during the worst of the Tribulation, the Two Witnesses will testify about God so that the whole world will be given the opportunity to see the Truth and repeat. I believe God provides similar opportunities through time for people to know Him. I, like you, cannot understand this willful blindness. I can only pray that during these dark days some lost sheep may find their way back to the Good Shepherd.
