THE TRUTH - Take it or leave it?

Prayer is offered to a person in two ways: first, as to be fulfilled by him, secondly, as to be obtained through him. On the first way we offer prayer to God alone, since all our prayers ought to be directed to the acquisition of grace and glory, which God alone gives, according to Psalm 83:12, "The Lord will give grace and glory." But in the second way we pray to the saints, whether angels or men, not that God may through them know our petitions, but that our prayers may be effective through their prayers and merits. Hence it is written (Apocalypse 8:4) that "the smoke of the incense," namely "the prayers of the saints ascended up before God." This is also clear from the very style employed by the Church in praying: since we beseech the Blessed Trinity "to have mercy on us," while we ask any of the saints "to pray for us."\n\nThe Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version \n\nWith Challoner Revisions 1749-52\n1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company\n\nIMPRIMATUR: \nJames Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.\n\nPope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546. \n\nThe DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles. \n\nThe whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner. \n\nThe DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software. \n\nOne important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899. \n\nThe text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected. \n\nEvery effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9. \n\nPsalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one. \n\nThe Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version \n\nWith Challoner Revisions 1749-52\n1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company\n\nIMPRIMATUR: \nJames Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.\n\nPope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D.

The Truth is. It is a book of lies. If you want the Real Truth, Read the Bible. That is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Truth is not overrated.  I know the bush admin ignores reality.  and they try to sell denial as a alternative to truth and reality.  But reality and truth will over take you eventually.  Truth allows of a life built on a solid foundation.  Denial is nothing more than a house of cards.

It is much better not to force belief. Sooner or later you will reject it if forced. Best to look at all the evidence and accept what you can, if necessary, piecemeal. For the rest, try and be comfortable to put it on hold until either you learn more or understand more, or grow in maturity. Use also your own gut feeling. That is much more reliable than most of us give it credit for.

Absolutely - theres nothing more important than the truth - except for when the truth implicates groups that are taking advantage of the public in the name of 'sympathy' or 'charity'. \n\nIf you get your idea rolling, or have any websites or books to recommend, do me a favor and let me know: theace1980@yahoo.com - I appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

Everything that is given to you by the Holy Spirit.\nAnything outside of your EGO (your false-self) is the truth.\n\nWatch a young child do anything.\nIts interest, its curiousity is not for self worth, is not for advancement.  It is simply to acquire knowledge, and/or the truth.\nWhen we were young we were all about the truth.\nAs we get old, we are taught to do away with the truth and become more astute with our ego as we do away with God.\n\nThe truth is what we were.\nThe closer you are to your source of being, the closer you are to the truth.\n\nNothing "practical" about it. \nIt's simply common sense that all of us have but do not use.\n\nNow go out and grab yourself a Truth Burger.\nAnd Enjoy Life!

Do you really need to care about his/her doubt? If someone doesn't trust you, save your time and walk away. (that's also want the Bible said... in case you wanna be religious).

It is best to tell the truth.  Not telling the truth can lead to a cascade of lies as you try to cover up your tracks.  While there may be a punishment in the short term, in the long run, you will have a lot more trust and leeway than if someone found out that what you said before was a lie.  They will be left wondering about everything you said and you will be unable to convince them even if you are telling the truth.

Yes it is very important to tell the truth but then there are times when it is good to lie. Most of the time it is not good to lie just cause you might've done something wrong or you stole something. But then there are times when maybe u might lie to save or help someone or something. But in my opinion I think that it is best not to lie because lieing alot of the time makes things a whole lot worse. When you lie to people sometimes they make take it peronsal or they might not be able to trust you anymore which trust is always something that you want to have.

Truth is within. You can only get it from that source.
