The word 'concept' is an interesting thing. People can have 'a concept' of... let's say ... 'what is right, and what is wrong'. Often a problem arises in that, if the basis for that individual person's concept is left unexamined, there can be many errors based on assumptions and misunderstandings.



And even if the concept is based on what the person believes to be the most refined source of 'truth' regarding that concept, unless it is TRULY the most accurate source of untainted, uncorrupted 'knowledge', then that conclusion may be flawed... equally as much as what might amount to little more than 'a good guess'.



Unfortunately, people don't want to invest in the 'spiritual sweat equity' involved in obtaining The Truth... So we all must ask ourselves just how valuable is GOD'S TRUTH, to me?... to you?



'So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, And liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, And searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.' Proverbs 2:2‭-‬6 KJV
