THE WITNESS
Prov 14:5
5 A truthful witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies.
NIV
Would anyone actually think this speaks of the experience in a courtroom of this world? Or would they contemplate on how it has to do with our relationships with other humans and what we say about each other? Is not this so plainly seen as the choice a person has in their belief of God and what they say about him? Surely those who deny or refuse to accept God as the almighty creator of the world and the triune God, who redeemed his creation through the Son, would pour out lies about the beginning of the universe and the evolution of mankind over billions of years. What else would be expected from those who refuse to accept God and his creation of all things? All they can ever be is a false witness to the theories of human thought. When God is removed from the conversation regarding the beginning of all things, only false theories developed by the mind of human thought are left. How can any human being ever think they could know how something happened billions of years ago? No physical evidence exists, it is only a pouring out of lies by a false witness. A believer in God who speaks of the Words God has declared is the only true witness of the truth. There is no deception in the words spoken by a believer in God. Believers speak of only what they know about God from his Word, which is the only truth in this world at all. All other thought is but a deception attempting to deny to truth. Perhaps it is not from human thought, but rather a clever deception of Satan to trap humans into disbelief in God and pouring out those lies about life and its beginning. Whatever the case, I will not get catch up in that trap, I once lived there but have been set free and now I know the truth and I will not deceive anyone I speak to with those horrible lies, but I will be a truthful witness for the Kingdom of God.
