Gate

Part of speech: Noun, Thing

The fence gates.


  •  Question 

    I have always been a curious person for as long as I can remember.
    Frequently asking questions, listening to answers, and seeking to know the truth.

    As a child, people would tell me lies and I would believe every word.
    Later they would laugh at me and say they were only joking.

    The devil is a liar and the father of lies. - John 8:44

    If you repeat a lie frequently enough, people will eventually begin to believe it.
    Sometimes respectable pastors, teachers, or leaders will repeat a lie.
    They will say that it is the truth, and not even know that it is a lie.

    We should be humble enough to admit that some of our opinions could be wrong.

    I always try to verify and confirm all information and facts from several sources, before making a final decision on what to believe.

    Know what you believe and why you believe it.

    "You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32
    You should ask God to give you wisdom and show you the truth. - James 1:5 - 28811
