The problem is scripture doesn't say to affirm ourself. Scripture says to deny yourself, to take up your cross and to follow him. It's not some Play Doh God that we shape into whatever we want, make truth to be what we want it to be. We push back against the creator. And pushing back against, pushing back against God in defense of my truth is like yelling at a compass when it doesn't point in the direction I want it to. It may feel liberating, but if you're lost or when you find yourself in a storm, it will not lead you home. That compass is not just useless, It's incredibly dangerous.
