The Bible On Trial

Truth in the Age of Corona Virus~

All Truth is valid information, but all information is not true! And this has been proven time and again in the dissemination of information coming out of the mouths of those that are supposed to know the truth about Covid-19 and how to deal with the pandemic. Conflicting information is the order of the day, and it is very difficult for a layman to know what is true and what isn't, even though lives depend on this information. Various 'experts' have differing 'takes' on the What, Where, How and Why of dealing with things like face masks, (anti-) social distancing, mitigation, vaccines, respirators, treatments, quarantines, opening the economy, and lots of other information that we need to know to define our response, Where do we find truth in the age of the Corona Virus? No one to whom I have spoken is saying that Truth in this regard does not matter; NO ONE!

As important as the truth of this situation is to define, this 'truth' is only applicable to our temporal and finite form in our time in the here and now. After all (to put it bluntly) we all want to live a happy, productive and LONG life here on earth, but if we live long enough we will all die one day. No one gets out of this earthly life alive. 

If the Truth about the here and now is important,  then what about Eternal Truth? We most often don't think about the importance of this truth as often as we do the more worrisome truth of our daily lives. Yet eternity is a much longer time frame (should time even matter) than 'now', and deserves at least a passing consideration, yet we get caught up in daily life so thoroughly that it most often 'slips our minds'. God knows what we need to live both here, and there.

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matt. 6:28
