\"\"<\/a>Some people\u2019s ignorance and ego are so gigantic, so huge, and so out-of-control that they will even believe the unbelievable.\u00a0 <\/span>They will accept as truth the real and proven falsehoods of life.\u00a0 <\/span>They will be told the truth and have it proven to them,…and still not accept the facts!\u00a0 <\/span>Have you ever known a person with those blatant characteristics?\u00a0 <\/span>They are awfully hard and difficult to be around aren\u2019t they?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well do not be discouraged, almost all of us have had unpleasant encounters with people such as I just described.\u00a0 <\/span>These type folks, thankfully and with gratefulness, are not in the majority.\u00a0 <\/span>They are not a rarity either.\u00a0 <\/span>The more bizarre the untruth is, the more radical these type people\u2019s responses and accepted positions will become.\u00a0 <\/span>It seems that the more a human being is deceived, the more committed he becomes to his accepted position on a given subject, even if his position is incorrect or blatantly proven to be wrong.\u00a0 <\/span>I guess that the old saying, \u201cignorance is bliss,\u201d is really not\u00a0 <\/span>all that true.<\/span><\/p>\n

There also appears to be a connecting attribute of ignorant people who cannot be reasoned with so as to reverse their incorrect stance about a subject.\u00a0 <\/span>It appears that often times one who is wrong about something, one who has chosen to believe the lie instead of the truth about a subject, just digs in his heels and will not be budged from his untruthful position.\u00a0 <\/span>Many of such people take their ignorance all the way to their grave and from there right on into the pits of Hell.\u00a0 <\/span>How terribly sad.\u00a0 <\/span>If you are lost and you refuse to accept the truth, you just stay lost.\u00a0 <\/span>You will pay the ultimate price for your stupidity in the eternal afterlife.\u00a0 <\/span>Ignorance has a huge price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n

This connecting attribute of all ignorant people is what I call a \u201cmotor-mouth.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The misguided, hard-headed, unreasonable people who once are\u00a0 <\/span>committed to a position, understanding, or belief regarding a given subject–even though it be wrong and\/or untruthful,– always want to continuously run their mouth about the correctness of their stand, or position on the\u00a0 <\/span>particular subject in question.\u00a0 <\/span>They seem to try to convince their critics or anyone else who knows what the real truth is,\u00a0 <\/span>that they (the incorrect ones) are right and that the dissidents (the ones who know the truth) are wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey,….the truth is always the truth and no amount of argument will ever change it,<\/b> no matter how much incorrect logic or discussion occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right is always right and the same goes for wrong.\u00a0 <\/span>The truth is what everyone should be seeking.\u00a0 <\/span>Truth is always supported with facts!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

What a person really knows or believes in their own minds, will always be evidenced by what flows out of their mouths.\u00a0 <\/span>The Bible says…\u201cout of the abundance of the spiritual heart ( the mind) flows the tongue.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>What ever you truly believe in your mind is what you will always be talking about.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Uncontrolled, incorrect, and ignorant words and statements flow freely from the mouth of a person who does not know the truth.\u00a0 <\/span>God calls such a person who speaks incorrect statements a fool.\u00a0 <\/span>He says this in The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 15, verse 2\u00a0 <\/span>NKJV:<\/span><\/p>\n

(2) \u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,\u00a0<\/span>But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

All it takes to know where a person is really coming from,…what their true beliefs really are,…..is to simply listen to the words that flow out of their mouth.\u00a0<\/span> Their speech will always put their minds on display.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There is an ancient saying that is so right on,…is so applicable to this discussion today that I must share it.\u00a0 <\/span>Think about all of the people whom you have encountered who possess more than their fair share of stupidity.\u00a0 <\/span>Think about how much they have run their mouths, voiced their opinions, and dominated conversations even with little or nothing of significance to say.\u00a0 <\/span>The ancient saying is as follows:\u00a0<\/span>Blessed is he, who, having nothing to say, refrains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When you know,… that you know,… that you know,…that you know… the truth, then there really is no need to continue wordy voluminous lip service about that which you know.\u00a0 <\/span>A simple statement of the truth is all that is required.\u00a0 <\/span>In other words, you never have to sell someone the truth.\u00a0 <\/span>It will always speak for itself.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Permit me to share with you a true story out of Western European history.\u00a0 <\/span>It is a simple illustration of how even the learned and well educated people of the world can be deceived.\u00a0 <\/span>It seems that whenever a person wants to believe something, to which they are totally committed, then even the facts of a matter do not make any difference to them.\u00a0 <\/span>Facts can and will sometimes be excused away and disregarded if they stand in the way a what a person wants to believe.\u00a0 <\/span>Now here is what I know to be the absolute truth.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIf you are making excuses,… any one you make will work.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I will define for you the word excuse…..it is the skin of a lie, stuffed with reason.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A story please…..<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 18th century, Dr. Johann Beringer was a professor of natural philosophy at the University of Wurzburg, located in Western Germany.\u00a0 <\/span>He concluded that fossils were not linked to previously living animals, as some were advocating, but rather, that they were unique \u201ccreations,\u201d each part of a divine message planted into the earth by the Lord at the time of Creation.\u00a0 <\/span>The good professor advocated that man study the fossils with the intent of uncovering the meaning of God\u2019s buried message to mankind.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His students covertly decided to play a trick on their wise and learned instructor.\u00a0 <\/span>They decided to make and then subsequently bury in the ground on a nearby hillside, hundreds of grotesque clay forms, some of which fossil-like, others of which had writing on them.\u00a0 <\/span>One of the clay figures was actually signed by \u201cJehovah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The doctor was so convinced that his \u201cfind\u201d had divine meaning that he wrote and published a book on the subject, totally ignoring the repeated confessions of his students as to their prank.\u00a0 <\/span>He chided his students for attempting to undermine his work and rob him of the fame that would be due him.\u00a0 <\/span>It was not until Dr. Beringer discovered a \u201cfossil\u201d bearing his own name that he accepted the hoax for what it had been.\u00a0 <\/span>And for the rest of his life, he spent a small fortune trying to buy back the existing copies of his own book…….<\/span><\/p>\n

Ignorance is not a defense when the truth is what is being searched for.\u00a0 <\/span>Out of ignorance, God and His Laws of the Universe (which He created) will always work against you.\u00a0 <\/span>If you don\u2019t know God or any of His Laws,…then you are in for some significant misery and suffering as those Laws work against you.\u00a0 <\/span>Never forget….you do not know that which you do not know!<\/span><\/p>\n

And, you never violate God\u2019s Laws, you only confirm them!<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn God\u2019s Laws and put them to work for you…. not against you. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Know the truth and you will not ever be deceived with a lie or half-truth.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The God of the Universe and His Word are THE TRUTH.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
