The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling!

Joh 9:41  Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains.

Words are the foundation of both truth and lies. Without words there would be neither. With words there are both.

If you take some flour, water, yeast and salt and combine them properly you can end up with a loaf of bread. You can also take the same ingredients and combine them differently and get wall paper paste. 

Words in proper combination are truth, but in a different combination these same words are lies. The defining issue is how and by whom are they given.

A person can believe a lie as if it is the truth, simply because those words are what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. Another person can believe the Truth against the most beautiful lies because they are convicted by the very same words in different combinations that caused another person to believe those truthful words are a lie.

Jesus was familiar with this as he confronted the Pharisees that demanded that He give them proof that He was 'of God.

Joh 9:39  And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

When Truth is presented it is the Words that reveal that Truth, not belief. Truth and Lies are both believable, it is the words behind them that reveal their nature.

This is why having a gold standard of truth is important in believing Truth rather than lies. The words of Jesus are that standard, believe them.
