Don’t believe everything you hear, see on the news, read online or read in print including, but not limited to textbooks and works of non-fiction. Information can be easily manipulated. Please do your own research before believing, sharing or blogging information. I’m working on being a better researcher.

Partial Truths

*Because of partial truths, many live deprived of the blessed gift of healing and health. It's easy to believe God is responsible for all the unfair and unfortunate problems of life. Fortunately full Truth is being revealed, and old ignorant beliefs are becoming a thing of the past along with disabilities, sickness and disease.

Exodus 4:11-12 God said, “And who do you think made the human mouth? And who makes some mute, some deaf, some sighted, some blind? Isn’t it I, God? So, get going. I’ll be right there with you—with your mouth! I’ll be right there to teach you what to say.”

John 9:1-5 Walking down the street, Jesus saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked, “Rabbi, who sinned: this man or his parents, causing him to be born blind?”

3-5 Jesus said, “You’re asking the wrong question. You’re looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do.

John 14:11-14 “Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can’t believe that, believe what you see—these works. The person who trusts me will not only do what I’m doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I’ve been doing. You can count on it. From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I’ll do it. That’s how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it. Whatever you request in this way, I’ll do.

When one looks at the history of the dogma of the Trinity as it is reflected in a present-day manual of theology, it still looks like a graveyard of heresies, whose emblems theology still carries round with it like the trophies from battles fought and won. But such a view does not represent a proper understanding of the matter, for all the attempted solutions which in the course of a long struggle were finally thrown out as dead-ends and hence heresies are not just mere gravestones to the vanity of human endeavour, monuments which confirm how often thinking has come to grief and at which we can now look back in retrospective – and in the last analysis fruitless – curiosity. On the contrary, every heresy is at the same time the cipher for an abiding truth, a cipher which we must now preserve with other simultaneously valid statements, separated from which it produces a false impression. In other words, all these statements are not so much gravestones as the bricks of a cathedral, which are of course only useful when they do not remain alone but are inserted in something bigger, just as even the positively accepted formulas are only valid if they are at the same time aware of their own inadequacy.
