Things are never as they appear because of the presence of filters in our minds. One of the reasons some people stay in depression is because of the presence of a filter that distorts their perception of reality. Then we could get a print-out identifying these filters plus a commentary on how they impair our judgement. King David identifies one of the most significant filters in our lives. But I was born a sinner, yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
Sin is a filter in our mind that distorts truth.
We are born with a false view of reality and for many its down hill from that moment on. True objectivity is based on truth and truth is found in God's Word the Bible. This afternoon there is a life chain to draw attention to the senseless killing of millions of unborn children. Answer, there is a filter over his or her eyes that causes the doctor to view and value life differently than the bible views life. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
