Do you have velvet paintings in your living room?

You don't have to find truth, if the TRUTH is in you...

John 15:26 "But when the COMFORTER is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the spirit of TRUTH...."

1 John 2:27 "But the annointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same annointing teacheth you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."

Jesus is Truth. Jesus is the Word.

His words are recorded in written form - the Bible. Words that have lasted for thousands of years. The oldest pieces of literature in the world come from what we call the Word, the Bible.

Shaz... you are on a journey trying to find something that, as a believer, you should already have.

Amen there is no wandering except for those in Nod, east of Eden, translated as "place of the wandering."

It's aversion to the Word that we're seeing. The cross is a stumblingblock.

No. Christ as high priest is far from on a crucifix as though he had not even resurrected yet. He's in the holiest of holies and on the throne of the mercyseat.

Jesus is truth. I accepted Jesus, Himself. The volume of the book presented Him.

Shazeep is talking about his glow in the dark crucifix he hangs on the rear view mirror of his AMC Gremlin.

Yes, I agree.

How then, to follow Jesus, the Truth?

Phil. 3:8-11
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Seek the power of the resurrection, found at the cross. And there you will find Truth.

Words roll off his tongue like water off a duck's back, lol.... (laughing out loud for those of you who are thinking otherwise!)

It would be quite the book to read!

you are predestined, just like a tree is predestined. But it makes a better tree if you prune it, and water it; and give it some drought, too. We even pull the entire plant out of the ground, just rip it out, well not all the way, but til all the roots "pop," and then set it right back in the hole and water it, ha, with some new wine that we make, from water and some...other cultures, to get a more potent...tree. Some people do. If you get me. or of not, google knows all go copy/search. Copy/search anything, any...70, i think, words. 70, hmm...is it still 70 words, that crawlers look at?
