Pragmatology
Pragmatology is an ideology that has become very prevalent in our culture; and has infiltrated the Christian church. Pragmatology is the view that the ends justifies the means. When you talk to Pragmatologists and question their beliefs instead of debating the question at hand they will always respond by saying things like " look at what a difference we are making"; "We have helped save a marriage"; or "I have been blessed monetarily so it must be right." These are just a few examples of the apologia the Pragmatologist uses; however, the defense is always the ends justifies the means.
The truth and reality is no matter what 'blessings' have been bestowed upon them and those around them they are still captive to the master of this world. When a person is enslaved to Satan he will use them for the furtherance of his purposes. This does not mean he always uses people like he did Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin. More often than not he delights to use 'righteous' men who are doing 'good' things. To these people this master appears as "an angel of light."
It was understood that George Washington owned a lot of slaves. It is also understood that he would treat them very well and give them many benefits that were foreign to most slaves. Here is the fact of the matter though. Those people were still slaves to George Washington no matter how good he treated them. People may see glittering things before them but all that glitters is not God. The reality is even if unregenrate people have certain unique blessings they are still slaves to the cruel taskmaster.
The point I have been making is Satan treats his slaves in different ways. Some are given cruel and unusual punishment while others, like the Pragmatologist, seem to have great favor with the master. What we always need to understand is they are still slaves and are being used for Satans selfish purposes.
