Jehovah's Witnesses Straight Talk - Forum/Blog

1Tim.1:4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith-- 1:5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith; 1:6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking.

What is a myth, and why do myths fascinate people over the truth?

an idea or story that is believed by many people but that is not true
: a story that was told in an ancient culture to explain a practice, belief, or natural occurrence
: such stories as a group

We must remember myths are held by cultures and past on from generation too generation, one does not have to have an education to know a myth, and of course the Jews faith was full of myths by sheer fact of its illustrious history as God's chosen people starting from Abraham. So what is wrong with a myth? Will they are easier to believe than the truth that is a fact. But for Christian's there is more, and what is that?

Psalms 145:18 Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

The fleshly mind loves mystery, and myths because it glorifies the flesh, and the flesh seeks glory from others, it desires those great stories be told about itself among its peers. This is the thinking of the world each group from religion, government and commerce claim some mythical power to succession over another competitor. No truth has to be establishes once said enough people will in time accept it as truth. Subsequently, those preaching the myth becomes the groups propagandist.

Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.

Christian's don't have myths, they are not spending endless time defending as propaganda for some group, person, place, or things, they have a clean heart it teaching one thing, the truth, do you know who is the truth? Christ Jesus. Hence, they preach not themselves or a religion, government, but truth Christ Jesus. Such teaching are of little value to the fleshly mind person, because it does not excite it into myths and mystery fancies where no truth exist and a person can extract some philosophy from a fallacy calling it truth.

Proverbs 22:21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?

The flesh mind which is dead in Christ does not concern itself with human wisdom and the things of Satan system of things. Many Christian's will spend endless time/hours debating the nature of a word, once the myths is establish, for that is it goal, it will have far more power than the actual truth. Truth will no longer matter but the emotional ties to the thought will be vehemently defended, blinding the mind into endless debate over vanity.

Isaiah 10:20 It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

Those speaking truth will be consider evil, not open minded, and be dismantle as hater and narrow minded. However, none of its matters because truth stands in the person Jesus Christ the Spirit indwelling each anointed Christian's does not lie. What changes is enslavement to the lie and the endless pain that must come with such thinking, which is human godship, producing thorns and not grapes!

Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Matt.7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
