"Taste And See!" -2

"As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste." (S.O.S. 2:3)

  By the way, 'Have you ever eaten a pine tree?' It has been said that many parts are edible; although, I seriously doubt that they are enjoyable. This is basically a time in the life of every believer where we need to make a very distinct matter of fact, What is Truth! I intentionally did not use a question mark, because it is not a question that needs to be asked: It is a question that must be believed; it has got to be believed, regardless of what anyone else might say, or try and disprove. It is not a matter of choice; even though the world might try and make it so; there is no other truth, anything else is a lie!
  I know that is called being narrow minded, but it is what it is; there can be only one truth! To make it seem more tangible, or edible, which ever way you choose to accept it, there needs to be reason in the way that you accept the Truth. Whatever you think about the message of hell, if you are not in the least bit interested as to whether or not it is real, that message will not be all that important to you. If you wonder what that might mean, it has more to do with how you handle the truth; because if you believe that it is real, then anyone you care about, becomes someone that needs to believe the message, or else!
  Matthew Henry says: "The world is a barren tree to a soul; Christ is a fruitful one." Any other will not do, because only One gives the promise of eternal life! After all, it all comes down to the soul: What is Truth! If you want to limit truth to this current existence, then what you believe in is frail and soon to be gone. If, on the other hand, you believe that you have a soul, then truth needs to be more than what you can get from this current existence, and that means you need to believe in that which you cannot see.
  It is really not a question of whether or not it is real; it is a question of whether or not it is important enough to be real. Is It? Can the reason be important enough to make it real? Based upon who's truth? Because if you are going to believe that the Bible is true, then you must cast out anything else! There cannot be two truths; one will satisfy completely, the other, not so much...

"For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:11-13)
