We all would say we want the truth, but if our politicians told us what we needed to know and do to economies in order to pay off the national debt, and increase taxes, some of us would, or could, lose our jobs. Would we vote for them?
Or, on the other hand, told us they were cutting taxes, giving us a generous bonus, yet knowing we were possibly being misled, with two contrasting policies, who would we vote for?
Option A Knowing this is good in the long run,
or option B knowing it could be an empty promise.
The trouble with truth is, it is something that always exposes falsehood, whereas lies wards off the truth, until consequences catch up. That is like sin, or wrong doing, it will come calling -- eventually, I have opted for the truth. It carries mercy and promises, whereas the alternative -- ?!?
John 1:4-8
In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, and his name was John. The same came as a witness of that Light. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. KJV
John 3:19-21 And this is the condemnation, the the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds will be clearly seen, that they have been done in God
