"Wanting Truth"

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears".  2 Timothy 4:3

If ever we were living in the time spoken of in this verse, I believe it is now.  People don't want you to tell them the truth.  They want their own truth.  They want to believe what they want to believe.  If you try to tell them differently, they either ignore you, get mad at you, accuse you of being offensive and label you as a fanatic or heretic.  Just try to tell them the truth-- it is almost impossible.  They already have their minds made up.

Your truth, if it is in opposition to God's truth, is not truth at all.  There are not "many" truths.  There is one truth.  Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.  He is also the Word.  That means that His Word is THE Truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  Anything else outside of His truth is false.  

You may think I am being dogmatic, a fanatic, bold, or even mistaken.  No, this is the truth.  And this is the root of the problem as to why people aren't enduring-- or want-- truth (sound doctrine).  It is because no one is calling what is truth truth and what is false false.  We have let people believe what they want to believe for so long that now they don't want to believe the real truth.  We have failed to stand up for the absolutes and unchanging doctrines of the Word.  We have compromised it and watered it down.  We have added to it and taken away from it in order to fit in with society, culture and the ebb and flow of humanity. 

Believe the false if you want to, but it will not get you into heaven.  It will not give you abundant life or eternal life.  Only belief in God's Word of Truth will do that.

Have a great day.  People don't want the truth because they have had a compromised version of it for so long, that they like it more.
