The Christian way of life moves forward by momentum which is found in the perception of Bible doctrine.
Principles:
1. Ignorance of God’s game plan means that life loses meaning, purpose, definition, and direction.
2. In anticipation of the doctrinal principle of The Blackout of the Soul is negative volition, but it is more than that, it is making a decision to be miserable for life. No matter how you use your talent or how you succeed as far as human viewpoint is concerned, you have made a decision to be miserable for life.
3. Blackout of the Soul is the inevitable result of emotional revolt of the soul and locked in negative volition to Bible doctrine.
a. In the emotional revolt of the soul, emotions take control of the mentality of the soul and blot out reason and the ability to face reality.
b. The person cannot define his problem and so he cannot resolve it.
c. This results in cultural disaster, establishment disaster, and religious disaster. Emotion has no capacity for thought, no relationship with reality, and no discernment.
d. Without the mentality of the soul, emotion is blind, unreason- able, immoral, arrogant, unrestrained, and contributes to misery.
4. The blackout of the soul, brings to a halt, previously metabolized Bible doctrine.
5. Blackout of the Soul is the status of the believer with negative volition to doctrine, which results in becoming a slave to Satan and his atrocious (shockingly wicked) Cosmic System.
6. One cuts himself off from truth and eventually forgets any truth he has learned in the past. Rejection of the content of doctrine is usually the secondary reason for negative volition; the primary reason is preoccupation with self or others.
7. In Cosmic One, the believer rejects doctrine because he is preoccupied with self, while in Cosmic Two, he rejects doctrine because of his preoccupation with erroneous human thinking which conflicts with doctrine.
8. Since the cosmic system is called a domain of darkness and those believers who reside and function in cosmic two are said to "walk in darkness," this is the basis for the term "Blackout of the Soul,"
The verse that we are about to study is where the term “Blackout of the Soul” came from: “is in the darkness,” “walks in the darkness,” “the darkness has blinded his eyes,” all found in (1 John 2:11).
1 John 2:11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness (Cosmic System) and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going (disorientation to God’s plan) because the darkness has blinded his eyes (not open to truth).
a. Every believer has equal opportunity to learn Bible doctrine. represented here by the light (1 John 2:10).
b. The Blackout of the Soul is residence and function inside Cosmic One and Cosmic Two. It occurs in both believers and unbelievers, (1 John 2).
c. When an unbeliever rejects Jesus Christ as Savior, he enters into the cosmic system, and under certain circumstances, he will get into blackout of the soul. Prolonged blackout of the soul leads to scar tissue of the soul.
9. In the blackout of the soul, the stream of consciousness is described four ways.
a. "Darkened in their way of thinking," Eph 4:18.
b. "Walking in darkness," 1 John 2:11.
c. "The darkness has blinded his eyes," 1 John 2:11.
d. "He who walks in darkness does not know where he is going," John 12:35.
10. Once you reject Bible doctrine, you lose your common sense, your instincts for survival, and whatever integrity you possessed as an unbeliever.
