The Truth Shall Set You Free...

Life is said to be an accumulation of our own experiences and the experiences of others that can directly/indirectly influence us. Whether those experiences be positive (enjoyable) or negative (endurable/sufferable) they are part of the whole of our being and existence. John Donne (1573-1631) a Jacobean poet and preacher influenced Hemingway... For Whom the Bell Tolls;

No man is an island, entire of itself

every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main

if a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is less, as well as if a promontory were,

as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were

any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind

and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls

it tolls for thee.

(Taken from; Meditation #17, "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions")

King David had a plan to construct a temple to house the venerated Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments, which God had given to Moses on Mount Sinai. But God thwarted his plans on the basis that the King had caused to much bloodshed and was an iterate sinner. So King David who was said to be a man after God's heart was judged unworthy by God to build the temple that would house the Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments. So the task fell to his son Solomon whom is said to have had more wisdom than any other man ever in the history of all mankind, even unto today.

But, despite Solomon's great wisdom even he succumbed to a great fall and showed that he too, was after all only human, just like his Dad. The bible says we are all sinners that fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). And that we are justified by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

Justified to what end?

Lies? A lie told in ignorance is still a lie...

Murder? Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...

Deception? The greatest lie every told was convincing the world that the Devil/Satan doesn't exist...

Surely in this time more so than any other time in the history of mankind we have become smarter due to the availability of information at the fingertips of each any every single person world wide. No longer shall we be conformed or relegated to being just what our cultural and societal conditioning says we are to be. We can break free with the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help us God. Also we can own our own thoughts, actions and deeds instead of blaming the Devil for what we do. Let us be accountable for our actions, words and thoughts if not to each other, than surely to God.

The Truth Shall Set You Free....

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
