"What I sought in you was falsehood, not truth...." (Confessions of St. Augustine - 354-430 A.D.)
This was a statement made by St. Augustine who was reviewing his life prior to his baptism in his thirties. We see the same in this Religion forum from people today we see people proclaiming:
What I seek in God is falsehood, not truth.
What I seek in Christianity is falsehood, not truth.
What I seek in the Jewish faith and Jews, is falsehood, not truth.
What I seek in Islam and Muslims is falsehood, not truth.
What I seek in any person of any faith or religion is falsehood, not truth.
Over 2200 years ago, we see the same thing we see today--people seeking falsehood not truth. I am particularly interested in why people seek falsehood in God, but it not just God we have a tendency to seek falsehood. How many who despise any President or any person, ever leave off seeking falsehood about that individual and instead seek the truth? But to start off....Why seek falsehood in God, and not truth?
