Is finding the truth a matter of being right?


Almost from the time we were born we have been rewarded by having the right answers. I wonder if this gets in the way of objectivity. We are always so convinced we are right that any concept contrary to our own thoughts must be wrong. But how does that really work when two people have opposing views.

For centuries churches have had the same struggles and debate over church doctrine. All sides are convinced that they possess the truth. Wouldn't a different approach be better. How can someone who has studied just as hard as myself, just as devoted to God, and just as convinced of what he beleives as I am of my own beliefs be as wrong as I think he is... or could it be something else altogether?

Could all those doctrines actually get in our way of understanding and living according to the word of God?
