Words of the week

A lot of people place confidence in polls.  But let’s be clear what a poll is. Polls are the thoughts
of people and not a standard of what is right or wrong.   People can think something about a matter, but that doesn't mean it's right. Pro 12:15. Pro 14:12.  Isa 55:8-9.    Even when the majority rules, that still doesn't constitute right, for if it did, most people would go to heaven. Matt 7:13-14.
            
Consider past polls that were taken in the bible.
 
Most people thought Noah was a nut for building the Ark. 1 Pt 3:20.
Most people thought that Jesus deserved death. Matt 27:15-26.
The homosexual rapists in Sodom and Gomorrah all agreed that Lot was wrong for not
allowing them to molest the two men who were staying at his house.  Gen 19:4-14.
The people in Egypt under the influence of Pharaoh, all agreed that the Israelites were to
​be slaves. Ex 1:8-14.  Ex 5:20.
The polls among the Jews was all Samaritans were worthless people. John 4:9.
            
The conclusions of all the above polls were the people being wrong on every account.  
 
Remember polls are the thoughts of people and not Divine authority.
