Ephesians 4:25
25 Wherefore [dio] putting away [apotithemi] lying, [pseudos] speak [laleo] every man [hekastos] truth [aletheia] with [meta] his [autos] neighbour: [plesion] for [hoti] we are [esmen] members [melos] one of another. [allelon] KJV-Interlinear
25
Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth, each one of you, with his
neighbor, for we are members of one another. NASB
In all of existence,
there are only two opinions, that of truth and that which is false.
God is the source of
truth. Every other source is false.
Even though all people
can look up and see the sun rising in the East and setting in the West, which
is a truth, not all accept that the sun came from God.
All can look at life and
see that you learn, gain knowledge, gain understanding and so forth, but not
all accept that God has a unique design for inculcating truth into ones soul resulting
in a healthy soul and the completion of ones life, rather than learning on ones
own apart from Gods design and ending up with a very unhealthy soul.
Not all believe in the
same method of salvation, by believing in Christ. Some think they can earn their salvation.
Not all believe that
salvation is permanent. Some think that
God missed something and that they can rise above Gods plan and lose their
salvation by means of their works or effort or sin or whatever. And yet Christ paid the price for all sin.
Not all believe in Gods
divine establishment principles – volition, marriage, family, nationalism,
authority, economics, government systems, freedom, liberty, work ethics, and so
forth. Some believe in the many social
programs that promote bias, unfairness, laziness, poor work ethics, free
handouts.
Not all believe in the
concept of reservoirs, wherein God defined and designed vast pools of resources
for mans use, wealth for mans employment, innovation for mans quality of life,
and so forth. Many try to destroy these
concepts making life next to miserable for all except the very few elite who would
abuse their position in order to maintain their high positions.
The list can go on and
on. The only way that you can learn what
truth is, is by learning doctrine. You must
study day by day, think moment by moment, and eventually develop a truth
foundation within you, that is consistent with all believers that pursue the
daily course of doctrine.
We are all members of the
same family. We should all be in
possession of the same truth, that ultimately defines life for us all.
We are all unique, but
truth is constant, consistent, and immutable.
Therefore, learn and then
put away the false ideas, and develop the new and correct ideas, and by that,
you will learn that there is a vast universe of new and more important,
truthful ideas that will open up your entire life to things that you never believed
possible.
One more thought.
The angels were created
all together at the same time a very long time ago. Everything was given to
them, and despite their superhuman intellect, they all failed.
There is no evidence of
any innovation, invention, production, or anything designed or defined within
their time in history. Only during mans
time, has history seen great invention and innovation. And yet man is lower than the angels and
vastly inferior, but doctrine came to man even in the Garden.
And when man fell, God
taught man through the sacrifices, the meaning and purpose of Gods work, and in
that sacrificial process man was given clothes of animal skins, learned of fire
by the use of the alter sacrifice, learned of cooking, learned of the stars and
navigation, learned of angles and construction and the very beginnings of
science, and so forth. History
demonstrates this vast knowledge from the very early beginnings of human history.
And yet it all started in
the Garden when Jesus Christ walked with Adam on a daily basis and taught him
doctrine. Doctrine that was appropriate
to his time. And as time went on, more
and more doctrine was revealed and handed down from parent to child, until Moses
finally put it in writing.
And as they say, the rest
is history.
In every Christian
nation, there have been the foundations and development of great innovation. In all non-Christian nations, there is very
little. Even the false sacrifices of
history got their idea starts from the one true sacrifice.
The common thread
throughout history, is truth, which comes from and originates only from God.
Truth never changes. All falsities started with truth and then
developed into distortions of truth in some way.
