Testing a Drinking Water

Testing a Drinking Water

written by Meg

As I grow older, I appreciate every wisdom that God unveils each single day. It’s like a dot connecting another dot leading to the truth of the past that will form part of the future. 

Like Thomas, John and among other apostles and witnesses, I would like to thank them for their enormous effort to write their experiences, testimonies and life with Jesus Christ through the Bible. Manuscripts of their written works still preserved up to this moment and can verify according to experts. And speaking of experts, I would like to commend tremendously their determination, time and undying faith for searching, tracing and testing from a simple hypothesis to conclusive truth. These truths become the strong foundation of every Christian faith. And since the Bible is the cornerstone of our faith, who can deny it is wrong and corrupted? 

Simple. Dominant. Transparent. These are among the words that I have learned from an expert that shift my mind from being doubtful to being certain. NO risks. NO decision making because it is obviously obvious. 

One analogy that explains truth is this…  Somebody gives you a glass of water. How can you tell it is a water considering there’s a lot of clear liquid out there? Will you drink it? In most cases, when something liquid is in a cup, it’s water. And a good way to find out if it is a water is to test it (1) if it has 2 Hydrogen per Oxygen molecule in a glass, (2) if it evaporates like water (3) taste like water, (4) freezes like water, the more tests we could apply, the more sure we can be that it is a water. However, if it is some kind of acid, and we start to test it … we found out that 2 Hydrogen per Oxygen is off; it doesn’t taste like water, it doesn’t behave like water, it doesn’t freeze like water, it’s just look like water. The more we know the true nature inside of the glass, the more we find truth. We can test it any number of ways, the more we test it, the more we know the truth of what it is we are dealing with. The same goes with religion, isn’t it? 

If all results lead to a simple, dominant and transparent conclusion then you can drink it, like a gospel as a living water. On the other hand, if you do not test it, it is like a poison that eventually kills you to eternal death.
