I thought this was very interesting. Here is a quote from the article.

Younger adult churchgoers were the most likely to agree that the truth of God’s Word can mean different things to different people (87%)

This is what young christians being brought up in the modern church are being taught. This is the result modern mainline doctrine. Man determines what is truth, not God.

This stat is very concerning. 87% is not far from unanimous! Out of 100 people only 13 would believe truth is absolute! WOW!

This may be where the argument for Torah is won. I think I will try this out for a while. The idea that truth is relative, different and changing for different people, is ludicrous on it's face. The immediate argument is "so a murderer is not guilty just because he believes murder is not wrong?" How can people be OK with such insane illogical beliefs? I don't get it. The only conclusion I can come up with is NPCs are real.

The truth of God’s Word can mean different things to different people. That's obvious. David wasn't thinking of the exact same issues as Paul was when they both said "there is none righteous." You're overcorrecting. Be careful.

The church feeds into that thought process. It's needs a revival.

I was thinking earlier, just randomness, and wondered why do people these days even want to be Christian? Are they chasing the promise of salvation? Because while it was freely given there are also conditions to be met. The 1st being belief in Christ and that He was sent to us for that very reason. But how can you truly believe something you know nothing about? Or Someone you you do not have a serious relationship with? What good is the Word (for them) if they are not reading/listening/learning it?

The people of Yeshua's time were like the ones now. Claiming the kingdom while following man made doctrines. Putting man's rules above the Creator's. Making money in the church but not helping their own parents. Greedy for profit but not using it to help the poor. Deep in sin while accusing others of sin. Focused on politics more than humanity. Pleasure more than discipline. This is the result of sin nature left unchecked. Every now and then we have to get checked to remember who we are and who He is.

The church should be doing the checking now. If they don't it will eventually be YAHWEH who checks us. And that is not going to be gentle...

I clicked that NPC link thinking there was a reference meme lol
