We try blessing people by not telling them how foolish they are and how much wiser we are. Love edifies and we all stumble together. We are all foolish

God bless you buddy...

Dont be silly my friend...
Psalms 10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.
5 His ways are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6 He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in adversity.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.

When the theory turns out to be truth, .... ? Then believing it is right to do.

But no excuse to be high minded and proud.

If people were not so gullible so often, there would be no forum, no false teachings, no false gospels, no false apostles and false prophets.... right ?

Christians don't worry about worldly matters

Whoa there! Most Christians in the world in name only do worry about many things, including worldly matters.
Paul told Timothy that a soldier doesn't get involved with the affairs of this life. Scripture said that we don't complain or worry about economics, social security or jobs. That's not faith but is ungodly contention and fear. We are separate from the world and not part of it.

Yeah, right! ? Try telling that to most of the world's worldly believers in any group.

I say it all the time. People hear what they want to hear I guess. They heap up teachers to tell them what they want to hear. They heap up politicians as well for the same reason

The wisest thing would be to pray to God about it. Ask God what's true and what's false.

You may be surprised at what He has to say.
A Mormon told me he'd had doubts about j Smith and
his gold books.

So he prayed, fervently, for days, for God to give him
the Answer,
In due time, the Answer came to him with unmistakable
Power and intensity.

" Yes, it is all true".

Where's the surprise in that?

God was not speaking to him. God is always in the truth and doesn't promote lies.

That person thinks God was talking to him, but wasn't.

You missed what really happened.

It's the same as when I was stewing g about which grad school to go to. A, B, or, C. Sleepless nights!


Finally it hit me with great force and clarity, I wasn't even
thinking about it.

" Go to A!"

But I'm not so easy.

I went back to stewing.

In a few days it happened again, but now it's " B".
