The only question that ever matters is whether or not I have spoken the truth—and that is not a question that will ever be answered by any other than God. God alone judges what is true and what is false. God alone sets the marker between what is right and what is wrong.
Very true, Peter, and your stance on this truth is one of the many reasons I admire and respect you so much.
Most people will back down and shut up, because they have their internal doubts, and, in any case, they don’t want to offend anyone. The great evil that is “cancel culture” exploits these civilized thoughts. People have been afraid to speak up, for fear of being called a horrible, offensive person, and in fear of being “cancelled”. This must never again be allowed to happen in America! We must speak our truths, and stand up for our First Amendment rights. God’s judgment is the only one that matters, and you know in your heart when you are speaking the truth.
I have confidence that if you had lived during the Middle Ages, Peter, you would have maintained publicly that the sun revolves around the earth - UNTIL you learned otherwise. Then you would have been brave enough to speak up and try to educate everyone that we were in error. You are courageous, Peter. Bless you always for being just as you are!

If I had lived during the Middle Ages I would have been burned at the stake for any number of unforgivable heresies!
Jesus tell His followers straight out to be prepared to shoulder their own cross—and be crucified on it.
Yet in the Judgement of the Nations, Jesus makes it quite clear that doing nothing (and therefore saying nothing) is not an option.
We are called to bear true witness in all things. We are called to speak the truth. We are not called to be popular.
Magnificent Man!
