Let the truth be told
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (John 5:39)
Permit me to respond to the question posed by Mr. David Gittens: “What is the truth?” I can’t help but wonder though. Is this the same David Gittens, who wrote earlier exhorting the public to “look to the more germane words of Jesus” on the matter of homosexuality? Then the same David Gittens, I’m assuming, returns to the public square to convince us that, “the words placed in Jesus’ mouth, as given in the Gospels, are a work of imagination and invention by those who had an agenda”. So, on one hand we are to believe His words are “the work of imagination and invention”, yet, we must still look to these same “imaginary” words on a crucial matter pertaining to human sexuality? Perhaps the fictional work, namely The Da Vinci Code, has clouded your thinking.
Now Satan knows full well that the Holy Scripture requires little thought to be perverted, but to set the record straight, requires much prayer, thought and detailed explanation. Therefore, since space will never permit in this forum, I will refer you to three articles to help with you with your conundrum. First, visit www.bible.com/bible/Bstudy.html and read the article, “How To Study the Bible: Principles of Interpretation.” Then, visit www.apologetics.com, search for and read the article, “Why I Believe The New Testament Is Historically Reliable”. And finally, visit www.xenos.org, search for and read the article, “The Problem of Apparent Chronological Contradictions in the Synoptics.” Should you bother to read these articles, keep the following in mind: Matthew was written for the Jews, Mark was written for the Romans, Luke was written for the gentiles and John was written for believers. To what then shall we compare the kingdom of heaven to? “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” (Matthew 13:45-46). Life, a fascinating subject indeed.
