Years ago laws called "Lemon Laws" were passed to protect the consumer from buying bad used cars. Prior to those lemon laws (and perhaps even still) unscrupulous auto dealers had quite a bad reputation for selling junk to the buying public. It became obvious to the buying public that it wasn't only used cars that were being sold as "pigs dressed up in prom dresses". As a result there is hardly a product sold anymore that doesn't have descriptions and warnings attached that comply with what we now know as truth in advertising.
Truth in advertising came about to protect man from man. And I dare say that even with truth in advertising, man will continue to be the inverterate scammer, and will continue to find ways to cheat felllow man. It is in the human genes. Mankind has been imperfect since the time of Adam and Eve. There are many, many references throughout the Bible which address the imperfect state of mankind. Why, even some imperfections that apply to me are mentioned !! Imagine that.
Speaking of the Bible, now we're talking! We're talking about something that has never needed any truth in advertsising disclaimers whatsoever. And that is because it is God's word. And those who have followed it, or are following it, or are trying to follow it as a guidefor their lives have never been disappointed or cheated. It has stood the test of time completely, and it is exactly what it is--God's word.
So when I added the Bible to my tool chest for doing life, I didn't have to worry about any lemon law. I got the real deal.
Is it in your tool chest for living?
