Of late, we are hearing an abundance of discussion regarding the subject of truth. I recall my youth, more and more…it seems, where my teachers slowly and systematically taught me about truth. I learned that 2+2=4. Later came the multiplication tables and learning cursive, yes I am old, and my first forays into history.
‘Plymouth Rock is the traditional site of disembarkation of William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony in December 1620.’ Wikipedia
We were taught about our Presidents, from our first, George Washington, to the president in office when I began school, John F. Kennedy. I remember hearing, on numerous occasions, that anyone could be elected President of the United States. I wondered how this could be possible.
As I grew and matured I could not help but notice that many of my elders expounded what they assured me was truth…when in reality it is was only their opinion.
When I became a christian, 51 years ago, and as time progressed, I discovered that there were people who cherry picked scriptures to support their faith opinion. When we say that a modern leader is in the mold of King David of the Old Testament…we are foisting our opinion on others. When we attest that a christian is meant to be rich in this worlds goods…it strains credulity to find this assertion in the life of Christ and his ministry to the poor and infirm.
