There is nothing higher than the truth

I'd probably find a lemon...

But when I look at every other view possible I can think of. They are all even more hokey and unbelievable.

Maybe each belief is a fruit and the mind is the bag (skull), sticking with the OP.

How about everyones TRUTH or way of understanding being a different fruit. Souls can range from sweet, sour and possibly rotten to the core.

So could God be happy enough with sinners simply accepting His One & Only Begotten Child becoming the Sacrificial Lamb and ultimate 'Get Out Of Jail Free' card ?

Thanks for the update on sin & DNA - point taken.

What is the truth?

The truth is what exists.

The truth is what is the case.

The truth is hiding in plain sight - in the simple act of seeing, appearances appear.
Without the all seeing, all knowing presence, could any appearance appear?

The truth is there is no separate things - just this that is. This is not the highest truth - because there is nothing other - it is what is.

God is not a person that can be happy or unhappy - God is the all knowing presence - is there anything other?
The illusion is that there is a you separate to presence - if this illusion is not seen through then you will suffer. If the illusion of a separate you lifts away then who will suffer?

In the hope of covering your relpy without
straying to far from the topic.

With my belief in a deity and the Bible being the
best description of him that I have found.

That being my reasoning in the most simple
of terms.

I am allowed to see the world for what it
should be. Instead of what is as a direct
result as per your truth description of the
soul.

My higher truth says :

This is not the world God intended.
And it should be obvious to every thinking
person on the planet. That a world full of
only sweet souls would be the sweetest
of worlds. I believe God will have his way
in time. Without ever having been a tyrant.

only ignorance is higher than the truth

that's funny


but that song....policy of truth.....depeche mode probably

establish that in a young life

False beliefs should NEVER be celebrated or respected.
False beliefs should ALWAYS be ridiculed and mocked.

Not many things exist that are more dangerous to development of society than false beliefs.

What if you put the apple into the bag within a dream. Is the apple the ultimate truth or the dream?

Are you sure you are not dreaming now?
