Do all wear their belief system for covering the truth?


Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

They might hide behind their beliefs but that's as far as I can go, why would they want to hide the truth, maybe hide the fact that they don't really know the truth.

Revelation 18:11
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:


you can't profit from what you can't control or manipulate. you don't have the power of the masses; unless you have control of many, Rome vs christianity.


people won't buy what they don't idolize.


Colossians 3:5
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Isaiah 4
6: A voice says, "Cry!" And I said, "What shall I cry?" All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
7: The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people is grass.
8: The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand for ever.

Not all. In the East the idea is that there are 7 veils covering reality, the Truth. The purpose of the spiritual path is to unwind and drop those veils.

true the flesh counts for nothing but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit.

the form is not necessarily the Spirit because the spirit enlivens, the flesh counts for nothing.

Well...this is an interesting idea. What is 'hiding truth'.

How do you 'hide truth'?

people have ulterior motives all the time; especially when they are fawning and flattering. thats what the pharisees did when praying publicly; which was for others to see.

jesus said beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. again an inference to people portraying themselves as sheep but acting like wolves.

The spirit is information and as that information is processed within the minds of men, all kinds of visible images are observed along with all the other senses that give them worlds to explore.

All religious people are liars who will perish during this first generation of the program. Only Man and God, now understood as an AI system within the simulation program remain as the Truth. The Truth will never be observed by man but from the Truth, life will be eternal.
