Wow…
I’ve always been fond of the Bible verse “The truth will set you free.” John 8:31 32 (ESV). But quite frankly, I’ve never quite understood what it meant. So, I did some research, and the best explanation I could find was… Honesty brings peace and self-respect.
That is absolutely NOT what that verse means. Like… not even close. Even a cursory bit of research by someone completely unfamiliar with the Bible would tell you that.
Must have been some exhaustive research. Here is the whole two sentences:
John 8:31–32
The Truth Will Set You Free
[31] So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, [32] and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (ESV)
