"they REFUSED to love the truth and ...."
It would seem that there is SO MUCH spiritual turmoil in this country today that not even this forum is immune from disinterest.
It is a good thing that the traditional teachings are being questioned as to their accuracy and correctness, but it seems there is too much confusion about what is right to understand.
"Truth" refers to what we can BE SURE of.
...(the only things SURE in life are death and taxes...we have no trouble understanding that, do we?).
SO,The Lord ensured that this would be in scripture for us to read...
...as Pilate said "What is truth?".
How relevant is "TRUTH" to the human way of life?
How meaningful is "TRUTH" to the SOUL?
GOD is the only one who can be aware of ALL OF THE DETAILS of ALL TRUTH (we can only THINK WE KNOW the truth).
Jesus described Himself as THE TRUTH.
We can't really KNOW and be aware of all of the details, but we can have a relationship with the TRUTH..."I am the way,....
Be satisfied with the RELATIONSHIP and stop wanting to be AWARE of God's business.
We should learn to "LIVE QUIETLY and to mind our own affairs".
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall NOT WANT".
