How does that make you feel?

"in the thinking of the world today, I have my truth and you have your truth...now, how does that make you feeeeel...?" 1 John 1:6 "So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth"  An ongoing question, for what seems like a very, very long time...is it possible for some to claim a relationship, or in fact think they have a relationship with God that they do not have? Many Christians are not aware of their true condition. They know they are saved, and have experienced conversion and have repented at some time in their life. Yet they do not live in true fellowship with God. Here, John speaks of a walk in darkness, indicating a pattern of living. This does not speak of an occasional lapse, but of a lifestyle of darkness. "So we are lying"...John gets right to the point...nothing middle of the road here, no candy-coating it...John is much too plain for our sophisticated age, which doesn't want to see anything in black or white, but everything in a pale shade of gray. In the thinking of the world today, I have my truth and you have your truth. But Jesus said, "I am the truth" and the Bible clearly tells us of a truth that is greater than any individuals feeling about it.  "hmmmm, how does that make you feel?"
