The Bible On Trial

Truth Humbles~

Have you noticed that in the news lately there are a lot of people that are absolutely, positively sure they are RIGHT/correct about whatever it is that they are saying? The reporting of the news has taken on a new identity in that whatever certain people say is reported as fact just because they said it, and other people are dismissed as unworthy of notice simply because the go against prevailing belief. Certain people are being CENSORED on Twitter and Facebook because a 'commitee' has decided that what they have said about a 'hot' topic disagrees with what that committee says is true. What? Truth is being decided by a commitee? So whoever it is that establishes that committee is the person that decides policy? Hmm! This sounds familiar. (Ref. The Spirit of the Church by Sterling and Neufeld-Tate Publishing 2007.)

Truth has to be based in FACTS, otherwise it cannot be truth. We are being led to believe today that unless you feel a certain way about a certain topic, whether political, religious or social) you cannot take part in pubic discourse. If your feelings are hurt by someone because they believe differently than you then itis YOUR fault and you must change your belief. This is not the way it used to be.

Facts are Truth/Truth is Fact! Facts don't care how you feel, facts simply ARE! An arrogant person will express his belief in a lie with certainty, and if you don't believe his way you are automatically wrong.

Jesus in His parable/prophecy in Matt. 7:24-27 spoke of Truth as a house built on a Rock. If your house of belief is built on the lies of sand you will have not stability, and your house will fall. If you build your house of understanding on the rock of Truth, the words of Jesus will be complete.
