The difference between scorning and genuine doubts

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] 

1) Cynical of truth and trust,
sneering prejudice unjust,
a fickle, careless judge unwise
swallowing enticing lies,
scorning to examine, read
scripture’s history and creed
given in love to help us live:
some will never truth believe.

******************

2) Those whose nagging doubts are real,
puzzlement, confusion feel,
but are willing to research
and ask God to help them, teach,
may soon come to understand
truly ‘see’ what words are ‘sound’:
no pretence, but willing to
know what’s true, its precepts do.

Even some church leaders, so called men of God, ”Cynical of truth and trust, (of) sneering prejudice unjust",

How on earth can you allow someone not believing in God be clergy? Agnostics, as far even as that? I have known people like this, and in well respected churches. Blatantly so, believe it or not it almost seems the fashion.

“Some will never truth believe" have mercy.

Have a good week Rhiannon, see you! Nolan &

that is ridiculous, isn't it, and so sad. They presumably don't understand the message of offer of life from the King of the universe, and maybe have some notiion that unbelievers elsewhere will respect them. As the second stanza says, if any are genuinely confused or unsure and honestly think and pray, they would be respscted and would find Life and be able to pass the news on to the thirsty! Rhiannon
