THE ILLUSION OF TRUTH — Why We Must Not Stop Asking Questions

The illusion of truth is the idea that apart from scientific laws, whatever you experience repeatedly for a long time will eventually become your truth—whether that thing is true or false.

You avoid the illusion of truth by researching to establish facts!
The reason why you recognize President Obama easily and you don’t recognize Sharon Ogundokun is because President Obama appears on your media more than Sharon, my protégé.

If you’re taught something for the first time that sounds strange (e.g. Things become tight or you lose your properties because you don’t pay Tithe), at first, you’ll have reservations about the idea, but with continuous exposure to the same idea, it soon becomes your truth!

The gap here is that, the day you’re repeatedly exposed to the wrong idea, you won’t know. It would have become your truth such that you’ll even have to defend the idea yourself—except you keep asking questions.

“Test all things and hold fast to that which is true!” (Apostle Paul, 1 Thess 5:21).

“Don’t believe everything you hear, test everything because deceit has gone into the world” (Apostle John, 1John 4:1).

Even Paul was happy about the Berean Christians because they didn’t take his word until they’ve checked to confirm it’s true!

Listening to an idea repeatedly without checking and without question is the definition of brainwashing. “Don’t question it, just believe it!” only leads more to the illusion of truth!

If you don’t find the truth, you won’t know if you’re following it.

Truth doesn’t need protection. The main attribute of the truth is that it should be researched. “For you can do nothing against the truth but for the truth!” (Apostle Paul, 2Cor.13:8)

I believe we should have more questions and answer sessions in every meeting (churches, conferences, speeches, talks, etc.) to establish truths. If all you ever do is listen; if you don’t make research like the Bereans, or ask questions to establish the truth, you will be brainwashed!

Let’s avoid the illusion of truth, let’s ask questions. Let’s hold fast to that which is true!
