RE: [TruthTalk] Truth as viewed by one of the greats

======================================================= To reduce this to a few easy to understand words, John, you seem to be saying that you do not have the ability to recognize truth by yourself.  I realize that when cut down to the basics, this sounds less than kind, but that is not what I am saying about you.  It is what I hear you saying about yourself.  We all suffer from this shortcoming to one degree or another, and we all have our own methods of dealing with our shortcomings.  Yours seems to be to seek the opinions of authors and friends, while mine is to dig deeper into the Bible.  You find that your way works to some degree.  I find that my Lord will give me all I can grasp at the proper time.  When my cup is full, He allows me to digest that which He has given, then He pours out more.  His timing is perfect.  I do not yet have all truth, but I am confident that I am headed in the right direction.  What I do have in the way of truth gives me confidence to share what I believe with others.  Put another way, I can tell them what I believe instead of asking them what I should believe.  I believe that my way, in this instance, is better than yours, and humbly suggest you try it. Terry     The happy news, at least, is that you a both seeking Truth.  Izzy   Luke 11: 9"So I say to you, (A)ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
