If humans continually thrive on their own wisdom and self-reliance and pride, why do they claim to follow God? Self-reliance is idolatry. We want for ourselves, not only salvation, but recognition and a sense of worthiness. We proclaim God, but fail to follow Him. We falsely claim our schemes and personal self-serving accomplishments within the system of man as gifts from God. Users of God as a means to an end, rather than letting God direct us, not only for His own uses, but the welfare of others. People wonder who the Antichrist will be, yet all they have to do is turn on their media and see it in action in their daily lives and the system that we have built. They even partake in it themselves without considering that there is separation between the ways of man and of God, all while seeking the best of both worlds. There can be only one path. This isn't a trade-off.
