This deception has been going on since the
beginning of recorded time when mankind
decided to do things “his” own way
rather than his creators way.
The God of creation chastises us by
declaring that ;
“my people perish for lack of knowledge”.
He then goes on and gives us clues as to
how we can overcome this handicap.
And you shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free he says,
so then the knowledge of the truth
sets us free.
The desire to know the truth makes us receptive
so that when the truth is given to us in the form of new info,
we , being ready will receive it and it becomes part of us.
From a biblical perspective this is actually the way
to receive ALL good things from God our Father
as he says faith comes from hearing and hearing
from the word of God.
Hearing in this case infers believing and acting
on what we hear.
