Understanding

Principle of understanding

Through faith we understand.

This is a universal principle. Two examples are given.

Mathematics

I believe that 1+1=2, not 3. Etcetera. Yea, doubtless. This faith allows me to increase my understanding of math. But if I would not be persuaded that 1+1=2, I would never understand math.

Such lack of understanding could move a person to:

decide that math must be nonsense; and
use this judgment to justify his rejection of math.

This would be a foolish thing to do. At least to the person that knows that 1+1=2 is true. But the person doing so wouldn't realize this. Don't let this person be you.

The King James bible

The same way that I believe 1+1=2, not 3, I believe the King James bible to be the word of our Creator. And by reading the King James bible the way that this bible commands me to read it, I learn to understand it. See here for more information.

Cognitive dissonance?

Cognitive dissonance happens when you encounter a fact that disagrees with your world view.

You might have a great desire:

to ignore the fact, or
to find a way to dismiss the fact,

so that you can relax. This however is willful ignorance.

Alternatively, you can examine your world view. Is your world view realistic?
