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

-----Original Message----- Either I have missed the context of John's comment, David, or you have missed the context of one or both of our statements. I am saying that none of us has a God's-eye view of reality. We may have very good, spiritual, reasons to interpret reality in one way and not another, but we do this by participating IN that reality, not by standing above it.   Bill   Excuse my butt-in, Bill, as DavidM can answer for himself better than I can.  But I believe that the Holy Spirit does provide us with God’s perspective. (Above the trees, in the trees, under the trees, etc.) If you are saved I am sure you remember how the Bible was a closed book before you received the Holy Spirit’s indwelling, and how afterwards it was an open book.  I’m sure you remember how before you were saved your views were indistinguishable from the rest of the world, and how now your beliefs/values are entirely changed.  I’m sure you must know how you used to see everything from a selfish perspective, and now you see everything colored by what God thinks about it.  Get my drift? None of these things required a consensus from other people.  Izzy
