Truth does not fear examination, rather, it welcomes all inspection.

I am not truth, but I aspire to know it and teach it. If you prove my knowledge and teaching to be false, then you would be my friend. Therefore, I welcome your investigation. If we are both honest, then at least one will benefit greatly from our discussion. Maybe, even both will benefit.

As regards to my surety, if I am in error, I am confident that God will correct me (maybe through providence, a brother, or Scripture), as long as I am willing to submit to His chastisement (Philippians 3:15; Psalm 119:65-71; Hebrews 12:5-11).

Although I can say this positively for myself, I believe the other people who help with this site would state something similar.

May we have open eyes, ears, and hearts (Matthew 13:13-15; II Thessalonians 2:9-12)

Romans 3.3-4:
"For what if some (Jews - vs 1) did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written, 'That You may be justified in Your words, and may overcome when You judge'" - Rom 3.3-4.

NOTE: Translations are wrong, reading, "when You are judged."
And, who will judge God? But this is an inaccurate quote of Psalm 51.4;
as well as grammatically wrong in the Greek.

But my point is this:
"We are all liars!"

This was intended to be interpreted literally.
And, unless you are equal to God, then common sense dictates that you will mistakenly comment on the word of God at times.
And, the more you talk, the more you sin.

So then, What is the answer to the dilemma?
God would not leave us in the dark.

"For there must also be factions [heresies] among you, that those who are approved may be made manifest among you" - 1Cor 11.19.

What this means is "Free Speech" (according to the guidelines on speech) in the assembly.

In other words, the preacher should be corrected regularly.
If this does not occur, then you may be assured that no one loves you.

Personally, I have been concvinced of more lies -- about the Bible --
than most people.
I believe the reason for this "blessing" is that when I am convinced, I change.
And, God loves "changers."
Therefore, the Lord God Almighty rewards my "change" by convincing me of other lies that I am guilty of; concerning the word.

These lies were learned as a young fool, in the congregation.
But when I became a man, i put away foolish things, and learned to think for myself -- assisted by the Spirit of God.

Bliss is mine when I learn that I am a liar!
My prayers include that God will make known to me the "sins of ignorance"; mentioned in both Testaments.
