Truth is a sadly misunderstood word in the culture of the modern era.  We insist that everything be tentative, temporary, and a matter of legitimate "opinion"........OPINION REIGNS SUPREME.

Opinion is a great thing and inspires us to debate appropriate issues and create well thought out arguments based in good research and well founded thinking.  That is why we read, study, share ideas and go to universities...That is why we chat, argue, challenge and rethink our ideas after listening to each other's opinions.....all good for the development of our ideas and theories........BUT............

Some QUESTIONS are NOT for men and women to answer based upon their opinions no matter how well thought out they are. What questions might those be?  ETERNAL QUESTIONS.  They lie squarely within GOD'S DOMAIN and not ours.  Example?  Who is God and what is He like?  Why did He create this earth for us?  What does He want us to do here? Is there an Eternal Plan for us?  What constitutes that Plan?  What is our true relationship to Him?
Those questions are not ours to answer.  They are His. How does He communicate the answers to those questions to us so that we have them with certainty?  If you read through the Holy Scriptures you will see they were REVELATIONS given by way of individuals selected by God to AUTHORITATIVELY SPEAK FOR HIM...so we would have his will by which we could pattern our lives.  We should have the answers to those questions above FROM HIM....not anyone else.
It is NOT our privileged to GUESS at the answers to such essential questions.  DO NOT GUESS AT THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS THAT ARE HIS TO ANSWER AND LIKEWISE ARE OF ETERNAL CONSEQUENCE. Guessing at the answers to such questions is a bad idea. Let us leave to God HIS questions and answers as we are still left with boatloads of others we can "opionate" on...

And you may want to know that God not only revealed His will to His children on the earth in ancient times...but He continues to do so today.  The word Truth (capital T) means is comes from God directly.  And the word truth (small t) is an opinion which we are entitled to have regarding questions that are NOT of eternal consequence and thus their answers do not have to come from God. On such questions He wants us to wrestle, struggle and share ideas to see what we can learn. For example "how should we discipline children"....or "what is the best color?"  or who is the most influential author of the 20th century in the United States?"  All fascinating questions and each person's opinion is of value and we fan learn from all such opinions.
But "Who is God and what does He want us to do?" is HIS question and the True answer comes only from Him.

"And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost.
And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."  Moroni 10:4-5
Fascinating, right?  Have a nice day. Jim
