Can You Handle The Truth?

The biggest threat to TRUTH being accepted, obeyed and walk therein is misapplication.  Misapplication comes from bigotry (personal, religious or cultural).  In most cases when TRUTH is revealed the bigoted individual will defend their misapplication of TRUTH from their personal, religious or cultural standpoint.  And when that happens the REALITY of TRUTH becomes null and void.

John 8:31-32 “So Yeshua said to the Judeans who had trusted him, “If you obey what I say, then you are really my talmidim (disciples),  you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 

TRUTH reveals, exposes but yet it frees an individual to be at one or at peace.  At one with the Father; at peace with themselves, humankind and Yah’s creation. So how should TRUTH be handled when revealed?  Handle it like Abraham! 

Genesis 12:1-4a “Now Yah had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as Yah had spoken unto him” 

When Yah revealed himself to Abram he knew the personal, religious or cultural ways of his father Terah and region was wrong; and readily embraced TRUTH revealed.  Abram didn’t hesitate nor did he do what many people do “make excuses or justifications”.  Instead he left!

My wife asked me once regarding TORAH “How does it feel knowing what you know now and being where you’ve been (28 years in Christianity Ministry- which is dung to me)”.  My response was “I’ve found a treasure that is so precious that I cannot afford to lose it or forsake it for money, accolades or acceptance. 

• What if you discovered that the things that were taught to you in Christendom was mixed and mingled with deception or pagan doctrine?  What would you do? 

• What if you decided to research what a pastor or individual said and found something opposite of what was said?  What would you do? 

• What if the things you’ve discovered is opposite of your bigotry (personal, religious or cultural) standpoint? What would you do?

You see the acceptance of TRUTH really comes down to conviction and character.  Conviction where you are compelled to respond to TRUTH.  Character where I will not lie, think or behave against TRUTH. So if you or I have a revelation of TRUTH and yet do not respond to TRUTH; what does that say about mine or your Character?

Acts 17:10-11 “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Are you and I so bigoted that we will not do as the Bereans?

NOTE**** when you see the word scriptures in the bible it is referring to the books of Genesis – Malachi, in Hebrew called Tanakh.  It is never referring to the so called New Testament, for they was not yet considered canon during the times of the Apostles
