Augustine said ,'If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what don't like, it's not the Gospel you believe, but yourself'. The truth is always under attack, old heresies one thought were dead are resurrected ,to once again undermine truth, and they will always have their following.. It is a question of belief ,who or what you believe, and behind every error there is the enemy of truth ,Satan, our Saviour called him the father of lies . John 8 v 44 . Those who believe his lies ,and oppose the truth, are his children ,John 8 v 44., we must take the devil seriously, and we must take his children seriously,Jesus did.My mother used to say ,'one can never trust a liar'. No matter how much it is dressed up, a lie is a lie for all that. Beware of leaning on your own understanding, also don't trust your feelings,live by what God's word teaches . I am not saying we are not to use our minds, God wants us to use our minds, but our minds must be disciplined ,to not stray from the truth of God's word,if we do, we find ourselves in a quagmire, a quagmire is a soft area of land that gives way underfoot. In a world full of quagmires we need to see the importance of standing on a firm foundation, the word of God..
