Our note: We are NOT discrediting any of Brené’s work; she is very much on the mark - almost. Something we have noticed - every successful researcher of anything related to the human psyche has discovered the very same principles that most homes have in a book they have hardly ever, or never, read. It is not a book that can be understood in one reading; those who remain faithful to reading it consistently throughout their lives are the ones who gain the most from it. We are to pursue knowledge, yes, we are instructed to ALSO seek Godly wisdom as well. So with that, we have already put a crack into the title. No one is not a creation of God, even atheists, as much as they will deny He even exists. Too many, as they gain knowledge, lean on that knowledge - and forget who created that knowledge in the first place. Nothing ever happens without His permission - even the third of the angels falling from heaven to follow Lucifer. Why does He permit all this? Unless you have created something, you will never fathom why without a lot of analytical thinking. Our wills are never manipulated by God; we are as free to do as we please. Now, think about why that is so…
Knowledge is supposed to be our tool and faith our lifestyle, not the other way around.
