"In examining the evidence of the Christian religion, it is essential to the discovery of truth that we bring to the investigation a mind freed, as far as possible, from existing prejudice, and open to conviction"
- Simon Greenleaf
About this Quote
This quote by Simon Greenleaf stresses the relevance of coming close to the exam of the Christian faith with an open mind. He suggests that in order to uncover the reality, one need to want to reserve any kind of existing bias as well as want to be persuaded by the proof. This is a vital pointer that in order to genuinely understand something, one should want to check out it objectively and right. Greenleaf's quote motivates us to be open to the possibility that our preconceived notions may be wrong as well as to be going to approve the reality, regardless of what it might be. By doing this, we can ensure that our understanding of the Christian religion is based on facts as well as proof, as opposed to on our very own individual beliefs.
