→Rejection of naturalist views as blasphemy: included Pelagianism
===Rejection of naturalist views as blasphemy===
===Rejection of naturalist views as blasphemy===
Both of these spiritual naturalist and philosophical naturalist views are utterly rejected by Christians as representations of [[blasphemy]] and expressions of spiritual rebellion. They are represented by various forms of [[Gnosticism]] and the [[Cosmic Humanism|New Age Movement (Cosmic Humanism)]] and of [[Secular Humanism]] which reject the reparation for [[sin]] achieved by the saving redemption of mankind on the Cross accomplished by Jesus as the unique and only-begotten Son of God, the Word of God made flesh, and head of the human race, who suffered, died, and rose again, and ascended into [[heaven]], who has sent the [[Holy Spirit]] on the Church since the day of [[Pentecost]] to guide us into all [[truth]], and will come again in glory to judge all mankind, and save from his righteous wrath all those who from their hearts trust in him as their own personal Savior, "''who obey the truth and by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality''" (Romans 2:5-8), and to condemn to [[hell]] all who hate or ignore goodness, [[virtue]] and the truth, all who have rejected him.
