Certainly they may speak the truth but the truth can't be properly understood except as made possible through the work of God. I'm not going to go to a Buddhist or a Muslim or any other non-believer regarding matters of belief, even if they speak the truth at times, I would regard them as inherenly untrustworthy due to their unregenerate state.James Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765813817236444797noreply@blogger.com
