Dad's Ramblings -- Insincere Questions

"As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 'If you are the Christ, tell us.' But He said to them, 'If I tell you, you will by no means believe Me. And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go.' "
 
                                           Luke 22:66-68
 
The truth is, the priests and scribes were not seeking the truth. Their minds were made up. Their agenda was to kill Him. So their questions were insincere. No matter what He said, their agenda would not change. I find myself doing the same thing. I believe what I believe regardless of the truth, and any questions I ask are only for the purpose of argument and finding inconsistencies in the other person's belief. Insincere questions are not good because I don't really want the truth.
 
Today's Thought: Insincere questions are illegitimate questions.
 
Have a sincere day. Love you.
