Things New and Old: False this, and false that

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.

False this, and false that - a zero-sum game of many

Both are equally starfruit.
One is not any less starfruit than the other.

I harvested these 8 starfruit this morning from the same plant. They reminded me again of the popular nonsense spouted by self-righteous elitist exclusivists - they alone are true this and true that! Others are false this and false that!
What arrogance and impudence!

False sheep... false church... false professors... false believers... etc.

A sheep is a sheep, as sheep as it could be...

No matter what adjective you want to describe a sheep, you are still describing a SHEEP, stupid! It is still as sheep as could be. It may be a sick sheep, a fleeced and conned sheep, a harassed sheep, a lost sheep, a wayward sheep... a naive sheep, a self-conceited sheep... a haughty unrepentant sheep... go add more adjectives to turn sheep into a goat!

The adjective 'true' is redundant.

A man is a man.... as true a man as can be... he may be a sissy man, a blind man, a weak man, a con man, a beastly man, a godly man... a great man... upright man... heartless brainless man... or blameless... black... beige... or brown like me... well formed or deformed... limbless man... he is a man STILL. You can never 'adjectivized' a man into a non-man!!! Even a dead man remains a man!
