Our society finds truth too strong a
medicine to digest undiluted. In its purest form, truth is not a polite tap on
the shoulder; it is a howling reproach. What Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai
were not suggestions but ten commandments.
-Ted Koppel
Man has always sacrificed truth to his
vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives by make believe.
-W. Somerset Maugham
Truth is often eclipsed but never
extinguished.
-Livy
It is disheartening that mankind
from the beginning of time has had difficulty in accepting truth in its pure
form and has chosen to adapt truth to make it more palatable and fit the
mentality of self. Rather than embrace truth and live in its fullest sense and
allow it to transform and propel us ever onward and upward, we choose the
easier way by making truth conform to our wayward selves. Unfortunately, one
day we will all fully know pure truth. Many of us will be in pure bliss, but
many more will be shockingly horrified, “with weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew
8:12;13:42;13:50;22:13;24:51;25:30 and Luke 13:28)
God has set specific boundaries and
absolutes. He is perfect and so is His truth. He is not wishy-washy nor does He
ever waver or change His truth - just as in mathematical equations there is but
one answer that correctly fits. The square peg will never perfectly fit into
the triangular hole no matter how hard we try, no matter how we attempt to
explain the inconsistency away, and no matter how we covertly cover it up;
square is not triangular.
