Those who keep searching?

Question

I see so many on here that are like leaves blowing in the wind- going towards every doctrine that sounds pleasing to their ears- ignoring the truth of God- exchanging the truth of God for a lie as Romans 1:25 says.
This is what God says about this: 1 Timothy 3:6-7
6For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

Focus on verse 7.
God's grace is sufficient for me! I know there is no other road to truth, but through Jesus Christ- I have no desire to keep searching for "added" truth, when I know there is none! Do you want to keep learning and yet never able come to the knowledge of the truth?
I hope to keep learning THE TRUTH, through Jesus Christ!

Answer 1

Not 1 Timothy 3:6,7 but 1 Timothy 3:6,7.

1 Timothy 3

1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
====================================================
2 Timothy 3:7 - Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Answer 2

Your question and subsequent Answer can appear to end all discussion, for some. Lets take this one step farther and into interpretation as this deserves some further thought.

Consider that what was said " I am the Truth and the way, no man shall go to the Father but through me";

literal interpretation might lead Many to embrace an entire "religion" and All it's connected additions of text and not get the one message meant; that being " I represent Truth" Seek that Truth about yourself and you will find "God".

In self discovery we find that nothing is hidden from "God', nothing; as truth is seen clearly in light and for those who seek to hide the truth, they will find that darkness they so seek by separation from "God" by choice will come to them as fee will.

"God" is never willing to allow anyone to remain hidden and is constantly shedding light on all things, any one may see them if they are not blinded by thier own views; to see truth requires a Very Open Mind Not steeped in Religious teachings.

In closing; "Truth In Jesus Christ" would be more appropriatly "Truthful" as "Truth Is Represented through Jesus Christ"; the former requiring religious obedience versus the later being free choice. It is not about believing that "Jesus represents Christians" as they have No Claim over truth; it is about the representation of the Truth in you examining You, how you act and treat others and how you act and treat Everything; no bells, no whistles.

This is about a journey, not an acceptance of a distortion deemd a "religion" as this is what some have done with the truth.

Answer 3

No need to search JESUS is the truth.

John 14:6[kjv]Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 8:32[kjv]And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

JESUS loves you.Have u recieved JESUS for the forgiveness of your sins?

John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with the blood JESUS shed on the cross.

With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

Answer 4

Jesus is the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by Him.
People need to be extremely careful about adding and subtracting to/from scripture.
No new and improved additions.
No removing like the NIV.

Answer 5

You may be right in the fact that "No one comes to the Father except through me." But how do we get to our Mother? And if you think you don't have one, then you're the one who has excepted a doctrine that sounded pleasing to your ears. As for me, I've learned more of the knowledge of the truth since I left organized religion. So just keep on judging those of us who have been brave enough to question. I'm not skeered.

Answer 6

because of the character of the internet, whenever you seek something, placed up something, watch something. Your archives is being recorded. there is not any way around this, utilising proxys etc basically exchange what archives is being recorded. yet truthfully, who cares? Why be frightened approximately google protecting your searches whilst your ISP has a log of each and every website you have visted with them? until you do something heavily undesirable (terrorism etc) no person is going to get a courtroom order and flow to google or your ISP and get those logs. they are in actuality a statistic, basically yet another extensive type.

Answer 7

The truth of God? Did you speak to him. Oh ok well let him know dinner is going to be an hour later then it was. You idiot. Just listen to the blasphemy coming out of your mouth. Have you ever read history? I mean in a history book? And then you talk about God's word in the bible when it was written by humans. Dont be so naive. Have you ever had a boyfriend and he was cheating on you right in your face and you didnt even know it. Thats naive, and bet its happened to you. Grow up. Why dont you do some real research and come back with something worth posting.

Answer 8

I rather like the concept of being like a leaf blowing in the wind! It signifies freedom! It is good that you have found the truth within yourself. I will seek truth outside of myself, within myself, all around myself ,as truth can be anywhere at anytime! Just as God is everywhere so will I be!

Answer 9

What does Jesus say if I don't give a F*CK? I know your probably already a sheep for your cult, but here's the truth about your fictional book.



The Bible, especially the New Testament, is a fabrication of the Roman Emperors to pacify a rebellious Judea, who subsequently edited the Old Testament ex post facto to prophesize about the Roman invented Jesus myth.

So you should probably get your head out of your *ss and smell what your shoveling.

Answer 10

Aww Hon, You need to lighten up a bit.

Each of us is on our OWN spiritual journey, to get where we, must be.

However, some folks are babies in that journey and must continue to grow.

You prove how young you are in your journey, by expecting all, to believe like you do. And,, to be at the same level as you.

DID you open your eyes when you were born and believe? No you had to seek and search. Until you found the truth. So does everyone else..

Seek and it will be given.

It is perfectly fine to seek until you find the answers that are RIGHT for you.

God made each of us unique and special and, DIFFERENT. He knows we are on that journey and he knows where we are, in that journey..

It is important to keep learning. No one KNOWS everything.. Not even you... {:-)

It is not good for you to judge, HOW, WHEN, or WHY we get where we need to be. This decision is ONLY between us and God..

Answer 11

You have no desire to keep searching. That's great, for you. But what is truth to you isn't truth for everyone else. Other people are as fervent about their faith as you are about yours - and nothing will change their minds, as nothing will change yours. You have each found your own truth.

For me, I am content with God outside the confines of religion. I seek nothing but God, and he is with me every moment of every day.
