– If a man has money and is not willing to have it examined, people think it is counterfeit.
– If a man is afraid to take a lie detector test, people think he is guilty of crime.
– If a man conducts a business and is unwilling to let anyone investigate it, folks think he is running a crooked business.
BUT, many preachers teach doctrines that under no circumstances will they test or allow to be tested by the Bible. Yet millions of people will accept them as upright, honest teachers of the truth, and will risk their salvation upon them.
What makes the difference? The Bible instructs us to try the teachers (1 John 4:1). The truth never fears investigation!
