I’ve got a thing to say. Nothing to do with your post Enigo54, but thanks for the use. Pastor Adrian Rogers (deceased) had an analogy about the Truth and how it can set you free.

He talked about how, back in the day, a circus elephant could be seen chained, by his back leg to a stake set in the ground less than 3 inches in depth. The elephant would stretch and move his leg side to side, but would never move past the point that the pressure would remove the stake and set him free.

It seems while the elephant was young, the stake was set in the ground very deep..the young elephant would do all he could to escape, struggle as he may, the chain on his back leg held fast. The stake could not be pulled from the ground. His truth became there was no use to struggle, the stake would not be removed.

Because of this false truth, the elephant could be contained with a small stake set in loose sand, and he would not attempt to escape.

The truth would have set him free.
