Isaiah
32:8
8 But the liberal [nadiyb] deviseth [ya`ats] liberal things [nadiyb]; and by liberal things [nadiyb] shall he stand [quwm]. KJV-Interlinear
8 But he who is noble plans noble things, and
on noble things he stands. ESV
The liberal, is
the one who perverts and distorts truth and lives by misguided deceit. He is a
person who is misled himself. In contrast with the previous verse, wherein the
churl knows exactly what he’s doing, and is deceitful intentionally, the
liberal on the other hand, is an idealist who believes that what he is doing is
right.
Don’t
misunderstand, the term liberal is not in reference to the term as it is used
in current day politics.
The biblical term
for the liberal, is one who has gone astray from truth. And he has gone astray
such that he actually believes in his cause or his philosophy or his point of
view.
And even though
his ideas are wrong and false, he does not see them as such, but actually
believes them as being noble and honorable.
This type of
person is truly blind to reality, and believes that everyone else is blind to
reality.
The practice of
his beliefs has noble and honorable connotations, and he pursues his beliefs
because he firmly believes in his ideals.
Today, we would
call this person an idealist, or someone who believes in a philosophy that
simply does not exist in reality.
