The Truth About
Untruth in Religion
It is intentional that religions are not pure truth and
goodness.
No one should expect religion to be nothing but truth.
The truth is mixed with dross in every religion. It is a
test that God puts us to.
To imagine that religion should give us pure revealed truth
without effort on our part is as foolish as it is lazy.
Religion is a testing and training ground that separates the
pure from the impure of heart. It is the boot camp wherein those who are
destined to "graduate" to higher levels of training and become
warriors for God and are separated from those who can't pass muster.
Those with a pure heart chose the truth in religion.
Those who are impure choose the dross and are led the way of
delusion within their religion.
Fools and cowards believe and observe all of their religion,
truth and falsehood alike, without discernment.
The weakest of spirit give up entirely and, blaming religion
for not fulfilling their infantile desires, feel justified by their
disappointment with religion in turning their backs on God entirely and
indulging their whims and wallowing in materialism.
