What does this verse mean to you? Of course, to gain a better understanding of the text, I advise reading the entire book of Romans (even though it sometimes seems to me that Paul can be rather chatty at times).

Truth isn’t democratic! In other words, just because a majority believe a lie, doesn’t mean to say they’re right!

Amen, Robert, amen! What Jesus said about the narrow gate in the wide gate were true and His day, and a true now, too! Sadly, we live in a post-truth era, where people are not guided by facts and principles, but rather their feelings about the facts and principles.

Paul is talking about the Jews and the Law and making a point about sin and righteousness. It is very interesting in Paul’s letters how he speaks to social issues of his time. He does that throughout his letters as well as warning believers of certain people or groups. Like at the end of 2 Timothy. Paul was a bold preacher of the truth that’s for sure! God bless!

I see some clear parallels with the urgency in Paul’s writings and those from a certain blogger in Colorado I know. 🙂

For us it is simple, God doesn’t lie, man does (early and often). God can only speak truth so when we listen to Him all we get is truth. With man it is a mixture. We find is exhausting trying to sift through the garbage words man speaks to find any nuggets of truth so find it mostly a waste of time.

Homer, what you said there was true wisdom, my friend. 👍🏾 I may have to write that down so I can refer to it again in the future. Thank you!

We know that the Bible is God’s Word because it speaks truth. All other books are man’s, and cannot reach the perfection God offers.
