  The Formula for Truth
  

  Knowledge + understanding = wisdom. The foregoing equation has always proved to be true. The result though, is only as sound as the materials used. If knowledge is lies presented as though it were truth, then understanding is never complete and the end result is foolishness, for example, evolution was the process by which the heavens and the earth came into being.
  
  If we were to break this formula down to it's simplest elements it would look something like this. Information learned through education and or experience + comprehension or perception (intelligence) = Application or practice. It is true that the elements of this equation are intimately linked to one another. It may rightly be said that this equation builds itself. In other words, knowledge starts the process and applied understanding completes it. I am a Registered Nurse and in my practice of nursing I have seen firsthand the truth of this equation. I have seen nurses and physicians with tremendous knowledge that are totally inept when it comes to the application of the knowledge.
  
  He who controls knowledge, controls the world. I don't know if anyone is credited with making this statement, never-the-less it is true, so knowing the source of our knowledge is vital.  Information is the most important and key element of the equation; therefore the veracity of the information is critical to the result. The first and most important consideration is the source. "Consider the source" was a frequent response given when you were told of a rumor making the circuit. Who started it, who was spreading it, who believed it.
  
  In the beginning was true wisdom and true wisdom acted with true knowledge and understanding truth. Truth is and was and is to come, truth is eternal. Lies (that which is not truth) is finite, finite, because when exposed as being false is discarded as rubbish and burnedhttp://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/mindcontrol/index.htm up. The source of the knowledge of truth is the One True God, Father, Son and Spirit (Mother). The source of lies is the evil one the usurper god (serpent, dragon).
  
  Who is the source of your knowledge? On whom do you depend for your life?
  
  The Spirit of Truth is the only source of truth in this world today (read John 16:13). The Spirit of Truth will lead us into all truth, not a little, not some, not most, but all truth.
  
  Nothing and I mean nothing is beyond scrutiny. Truth will always be provable, it will stand up to any test. One does not need faith to believe that which is true, only that which is not true. Those who dwell in darkness live by faith, those who dwell in light, trust in the light for it is truth.
  
  Dear reader, what do you know to be true? Have you gone to the source of what you believe, not to the perpetuator of what you know, but the source of your knowledge. Consider this, do you need faith to believe what you believe? Faith allows you to believe a lie as though it were the truth, without accountability. This is why the apostle of faith (Saul) was the apostle of the evil one, the father of darkness.
  
  True knowledge + true understanding = true wisdom
  
  Daniel 12:10 (NASB) Many will be purged (of lies) purified (of error) and refined (with the fire of truth); but the wicked will act wickedly and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. (Parentheses mine)
  
  Understand, God does not want liars in His kingdom. You cannot suppose that God will understand your excuse for not knowing what the truth was, and that you did not know what to believe, so you only believed that God exists. If this were true than God would not be able to convict the devil, because the devil knows God exists. Jesus told Pilate the reason for His birth and coming into the world was to testify to the truth and those who were of the truth hear His voice. Pilate's response is still used today, "what is truth".
  
  Revelation 14:5 (Speaking of the 144,000) There was no lie found in their mouth, they are blameless.
