Welcome to agnosticism 101.

No. The ones who don't know are just being honest about not knowing.

Why don't they know? Better question, is why are they wearing their religious ignorance like a badge piety?

And when they say these things, they often all disagree on the topic talked about. They are all caught up in a hyper spiritual psychological state in which they honestly think they are each the lucky and authoritative voice, knowing the absolute, infallible, unadulterated, truth. It's a bit amusing. I doubt they ever imagine stepping out of themselves and listening to themselves. I cannot count the number of times someone knew for absolute certain their position was God's own mind on a matter. I've done it too.lol

But in moments of clarity I realize that everyone simply accepts or formulates an interpretation. And each of these individuals will laugh at this idea and insist that they got their interpretation from the Word, and that it is more than just another view...while they all still disagree!

They can't all be right. And each will insist that they are the right one! And each will scream, "Sola Scriptura!" Lol

What if the false teachers are actually the ones that are always so certain of their position's absolute truth...and the true and honest teachers are the ones that will say, "Look, here's my take, and here's why, I don't know all there is on this, I could be wrong."?

Because at least they're being honest. Lol

What if there is more truth in our questions and honest uncertainties...than in all their dogmatic answers?
Bro, the Bible isn't rocket science.

That's my point, I'm not the measure genuine repentance for everyone, and neither are you, or anyone else. Only God can judge the thoughts and intents of a man's heart.

I don't presuppose where I'll be in ten years, but I pray God keeps me, God willing.

As my old dad would answer that, then you know NOTHING!!!

When someone says there is no absolute truth, the statement itself has to be an absolute truth. Sorry, Bro, but you are a Christian snowflake

Interesting you, because you haven't a clue to what it means.
