Anything goes, if nobody knows.

Really?

Does nobody never know?

Does nobody ever know?

Does Somebody know?

Indeed, two always know.

You know.

He knows.

Many people live like anything goes, if nobody knows.

It’s been tried before.

“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”

And how does that work out?

NOT.

If you create something reasonably complex, for people to use, you will likely write an instruction manual for its care and use.

The Creator of everything, including us, for us to use, wrote a manual for its care and use.

Follow the manual—and live.

Ignore the manual—and crash.

Set aside for a moment, never-ending debating with “I believe . . . You believe.”

That approach usually does not persuade the other side, but strengthens each side in their belief.

Observers of the debate can sometimes benefit in deciding what to believe and/or gaining confidence.

Independent of debate, it is intellectually reasonable to study the Old Testament and the New Testament with one simple question:

Do they fit together?

Study Honestly

Study Objectively

Study Logically

Study Literarily

Study Historically

Study Archeologically

Study Theologically

Study Prophetically

Then decide—to put your faith in the message and God of the whole Bible.
