Truth Again

I wonder how many times I have blogged about truth? I read an article the other day about 13 things we believe that are not true. Two of the things on that list stuck with me. George Washington had wooden dentures. I know I have read that and believe it until I read this article. It seems it is not true. Another one that stuck with me as I believe in one of my recent blogs I said the average person only uses about 14% of their brain. It seems it is not true either.  Our brains are active even when we sleep, at least parts of it are. The article was saying about 10% was the figure commonly used when stating how much of our brain we use. A famous motivational speaker used it, I think it has been a belief of mine since public school. A long time. I don't remember the rest of the list but those two things I definitely believed. We hear many falshoods growing up. Even incorrect Biblical beliefs can often be traced back to one individual. I know over the years I have changed my thinking about a lot of things. One thing I know is the Bible is true. If there are errors, it is in our understanding of the Bible. Some things are plain, other things we need to interpret the Bible by the Bible. Sometimes it is in our culture, we are taught incorrect attitudes. Prejudices are taught. It seems we see children left to themselves often do fine with children from other ethnic backgrounds. What do our colleges and universities teach these days, mostly leftism.  Many don't know history or the things that use to be taught in schools but global warming and how many of us are victims in one form or another. The climate changes and has since the beginning of time, nothing new. Before the days of Noah it had never rained. God caused rain to fall down and it has been raining ever since. There is a cycle to water, it evaporates, forms clouds, condenses and rains. When it rains it waters the earth and things grow. Then it evaporates again or flows through the ground to rivers and stream and finds its way back to large bodies of water and the cycle repeats.
 27For he draws up the drops of water;
they distill his mist in rain,
28which the skies pour down 
and drop on mankind abundantly. Job 36:27-28. The sun doesn't rise or set but if you look on your smart phone you can probably find the time given for your area that the sun rises and sets. Yet we know it is stationary and the earth revolves and rotates giving the appearance of the sun rising and setting. That another cycle set in motion by God.
21Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

Has it not been told you from the beginning?

Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

22He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,

and its people are like grasshoppers.

He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, 

and spreads them out like a tent to live in. Isaiah 40:21-22
There are people that still believe the earth is flat and pictures sent back from outer space are fake. A believer in the flat earth was killed recently as he was trying to prove his flat earth theory.  Someone mentioned recently about scripture in the Old Testament talking about how the plowman will overtake the reaper. "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills, Amos 9:13. Many places farmers do plant a crop in winter.  Many times our understanding of the word of God is imperfect. But enough info is given to every man whereby they can accept Jesus as savior. Enough info is given to enable them to believe if they choose to. Jesus is the Son of God that is a truth you can base your eternal destiny on. God doesn't force it, he allows us to make a choice to believe or not believe. God bless, LVZ.
