Truths

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.

Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.

Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

God's Word Endures and Stands Forever

Hi -

How interesting is the content of the scriptures cited below? They say that the word of God and His truths ENDURE AND STAND FOREVER.

The questions on the floor are -- if the word of God endures AND stands FOREVER . . . why do folks CURRENTLY DISREGARD God's FOREVER words and truths from the OLD TESTAMENT? Old Testament FOREVER words, such as Exodus 31:15 - KJV, which says, "Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death."

###

So since, ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES, the words and truths of God endure and stand FOREVER -- are folks being disobedient to the word of God by not putting to death (Exodus 31:15 - KJV) those who work on the Sabbath?

And what about all of those other OLD TESTAMENT WORDS OF GOD THAT ENDURE and STAND FOREVER? Folks, for the most part, currently disregard those FOREVER words and truths, too.

Some folks say that we're now under grace, and not under law. But the subject scriptures say that the Word of God endures and stands FOREVER. And in the NEW TESTAMENT, 1 Peter 1:25 says, "But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." Isaiah 40:8 - KJV says that God's word shall STAND FOREVER.

###

So we get it from the OLD AND NEW Testaments -- that the Word of God endures and stands -- FOREVER. Those scriptures ain't saying nothing about law and grace. Those scriptures say -- that the word of God endures and stands -- FOREVER.

###

Really, did GOD REALLY write those WORDS OF GOD THAT ENDURE AND STAND FOREVER . . . -- or did flawed men write them?

Here are some scriptures that express that THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS TRUTHS ENDURE and STAND . . . -- FOREVER:

"Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."

"Psalms 119:89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."

"Psalms 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever."

"1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."

"Psalms 100:5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."

"Psalms 117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord."
###

So why are so many folks disregarding God's FOREVER words in the Old Testament . . . such as putting to death folks who work on the Sabbath, etc.?

I sure am glad that folks don't follow that FOREVER and other nonsense . . . that I don't believe GOD wrote or expressed. Flawed men wrote the Bible content . . .
