Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

On Brutality and Hypocrisy - he is mac!

These geese are grand and graceful birds.
They bellow loud and clear;
and this may offend and annoy many.
I love them! It is music to the ears!

 "Truth without love has no decency; it's just brutality. On the other hand, love without truth has no character; it's just hypocrisy." ~ John Mac

==============

Truth, in and of itself is beautiful, however it is packaged and delivered. But there will always be people who can't deal with the truth and they will kick up all sorts of scruples. To many, the truth, however well packaged and delivered in the most winsome way, is still hateful to them.

The opposition to Jesus Christ and His ministry - marked by both truth, and love in their absolute purity - is a classic proof of that.

Love without truth is NOT hypocrisy, it is just sentimentalism.

To say love without truth is hypocrisy is a horrid slander against the loving who couldn't care less about the truth. They are sincerely loving, and sincerely thoughtless of the truth.

Truth is never decent to those who love darkness.

Those who find scruples against the truth because of its messenger are certainly indecent themselves!
