Many people (myself included) have issues with what we wish to be true vx what we discover is really true.
For example the Jews saw that Jesus was the Messiah with irrefutable evidence...but rejected him out of desiring the status quo more.
Today we have those with pet theologies that refuse to give them up for various reasons. Muslims are another great example. Mohammed has been proven to have been a false prophet as the Nation of Israel exists as a nation again....but they still give credence to his writings. To give up their beliefs even though the truth is painfully obvious is a death sentence.
The SDA have issues with their Prophet Laurie White....but again don't want to give up on Saturdays...
Same thing exists with the Mormons and Joseph Smith...
Same thing with Jehovah Witnesses.
And the exact same thing with you and me. (Usually on smaller issues)
What pet belief do you have that you had to change? Or are you still living in de nile?
WHY?
