yes maybe what you say is true.
so contradictions come out of you -- therefore lies dwell in you.

i'm OK with calling that "sickness"

but how can you be healed?
do you think you can 'self-heal' ? by willpower? by strength of mind?

my friend, it's your self, your will, and your mind, that are sick.

Jesus is the medicine.

PROVERBS 1:5.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

16:21.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

ROMANS 15:4.
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we
through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have HOPE.

To answer all these post about learning more about the truth, how can one learn more about that which they know to be absolutely true. If you know that absolute truth is Jesus, then you know truth 100%. However if one says we still need to learn what that truth is but at the same time say I know 100% it's absolutely Jesus, then you don't know if Jesus is absolutely true.

Now do you.
Yes Jesus is the truth and through Him we see and grow in truth.

Learning is the worlds cure.
what use is learning if there is no "truth" ?

what is learning if there is no "truth" ?

if there is no "truth" then everything is confusion, and nothing has meaning.
if there is "truth" it must be external to man - because we observe that men disagree.
if it is external to man, it cannot be reached by human reason alone.

if we must learn, we presuppose truth, and we presuppose truth is external to us.

The scripture is only useful for you benefit not mine, I don't need bible verses to prove or disprove my understanding or my world views.

Like I said, it's for your benefit.

What do you make of this?

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
You live and die based on your scripture, I live and die based on principle.

Here on this "Christian" forum...we believe Jesus is the cure...and the "world" is part of the problem.
Yes it is a christian forum, but is it not open to all people of all types of faiths and understanding.

realchild4life,

something so wonderful is being given to you in this thread without your knowledge thus far,
and that is, Christ's Love is being shared with you and is covering your heart, an amazing and Holy thing -
whether acknowledge by you or not.

as it is written:

Faith comes by hearing....you are hear and you are hearing.

When one thinks people are either good or evil it creates a social stigma, why not think of people as either well or sick. If you think someone is well you will desire to get help from them if you are sick, but if they are sick then you will desire to help them if you are well.
The world operates by the devils worldly system.The spirit wants all the control and the same for the flesh it wants all the control.

Only GOD can clean you to the uttermost in truth.
The flesh may appear true on the outside but on the inside full of dead mans bones.

Without truth there can be no purpose.
aye, if there is not truth, and we each define our own principle,
realchild may as well be saying "giraffe linear chartreuse pre-soaking" for all the meaning there might be in anything.

no truth, then nothing but confusion - and the only purpose is more confusion.
if our minds are nothing but the product of random mutation and thoughts nothing but random synaptic discharges, any human "reason" and "logic" is pure, random illusion.

lost, man. completely. diseased, deceived and self-inflicted confusion.
first thing humanism says: "i got nothing"
all the rest it says: "my nothing is something"
what kind of .. ?? i don't even. but they think they do. an epiphany of delusion, self-worshiping blindness.

been there, done that. burned & buried the t-shirt.
thank God for a SOURCE!! which is Him, and is found in Him!

I think humans are the most cruelest, nastiest and callous species on the planet.

However put an iPad or an Xbox in front of them and it seems to subdue them.

I super-like this post! THESE are the exact kind of people we can reach with the Gospel. SOMETHING led them here. Otherwise why would someone who is not Christian want to come here? Surely they must know we can never leave our Lord and Savior because He said He would never leave us! Real, we honestly love you, Jesus loves you!! He died for you. Please Stay as long as you like til that fact sinks in.
