I recently inserted a quotation from KB that addressed this very matter under 'ADDENDUM'.
This list is meant to discuss what YOU believe. If KB were here, we could talk with him about it, but he is not. Nevertheless, you think he expressed something that you could not, so let's examine the first sentence.
KB wrote:
We ourselves shall never be true to ourselves.
What does this mean? Does this mean that everyone deceives themselves?
The heart of the matter for you seems to be that nobody except God is faithful. The heart of this statement is true, and from it we realize that the only way for man to be faithful is to be filled with God's Spirit. As Jesus said, "why do you call me good? There is none good but God." However, some people use this premise with a slight twist, to say that everyone is unfaithful to each other and also unfaithful with themselves. Such a viewpoint is anathema. It denies the gospel. It denies the righteousness of Christ. I would be glad to discuss this with you or someone else here, but I can't discuss this with quotes that you post of others because they are not here to explain what they mean.
Please try, in your reading of others, to incorporate the truth they share into your own thinking processes. Reject that which is not true. Formulate a way of thinking that is your own, that does not rely upon important names in history. Then speak from that system of thought that is your own, and refine it as you grow and encounter new truths in the world. I would like to hear some of your own thoughts in this forum and challenge you on those points that might need a little challenge.
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
