Enemies of Truth

Truth has enemies ancient and modern. Truth is not afraid of research, not afraid of recent discoveries (Be alert to “discoveries” which are fabricated.) and Truth is not afraid of ever being replaced. God is the Author and Father of Truth. Love Truth, if it is the last thing you do. And remember “…The truth shall make you free” (Joh 8.32)

SUN AROSE

 

The sun arose from his easterly beds,

(Where others “thought” he’d arisen before)

Thus urging us to leave likewise our own,

Ascended till he was over our heads,               

And warm’d us up all zone by zone.

What would I find in the Bible?

“Read the Bible? How novel!

What would I find there?” History – the most ancient, most authentic, most awe inspiring. Stories of love i.e. clean, non-sexual friendships between people of both sexes, and the husband/wife sexual stories (and sadly also fornication and adultery). Poetry – thousands of lines of imagery. Culture – a cultural gold mine with terms, traditions, and technicalities, etc. Miracles – how dull life must be for those who refuse to believe them. Wise sayings “by-the-ton” and Biographies – whole or a bio in one instance only.
