So What Do I Know?

I don't presume to possess all knowledge, or all truth. I accept that my understanding is small, and the truth of the eternal God is enormous. But if we never talk about such things, we do not grow.

There is a desire by some people to silence discussions when unpopular ideas or deviations from standard thought occur, but in the true arena of growth, and truth, we need a debate of the concepts that affect our beliefs.

All ideas are not equal, all beliefs are not equally valid. But we can only know a line is crooked by knowing what is straight. As such, asking questions, and listening to ideas of others is a good thing. If only to dismiss them, as false or incorrect, at least we know those ideas exist.

So with due humility I ask, please if you are reading discussions here, and disagree, to comment. If you do read our work and grow from it, let us know. If you think we are wrong, tell us so.

God is an ocean of water, and we are able only to drink a gulp of such at a time. A sip from a firehose, we face limits. But together we can increase our understanding.

So teach me why I am wrong. Please?
