Nowadays

It's so know to tell the truth about things nowadays. I suppose it boils down to Pilate's question to Jesus, "What is truth?" The truth is there is only one God. Whether one chooses to believe that, the one true God has given us the choice to believe God and what His Word says or not. Truth further be known there are several subsets of people. There are those who believe in God and follow His Word as their standard for living (remembering that God loves all of us even when we fall flat on our faces). There are those who believe in God, believe in Jesus as His Son, but don't follow His Word because they were raised to believe His Word says what leaders of churches say it says. Then there are those who don't believe that His Word is the ultimate standard and that well God is not as powerful as He says. And finally there are those who don't believe in God and believe that this is the only life you get. Which are you? It's not for me to judge, Christ says that in John, "Judge not, or you will be judged by the measure you judge". God will judge those outside of His body. (I will leave that one for another post) but those who do His will and are righteous will according to 1 Corinthians 6:2 judge the world. Why? Because God judges all of us, whether righteous or not, and because we have His Spirit we are His judge.  And Christ warns us of this in John 7:24 not to judge by mere appearances. Which takes a modicum of wisdom and reasoning and prayer because the truth is that only God knows the whole truth.
