I guess it depends upon who says it.

Last Thursday, we read the following report:

 

“U.S. counterterrorism officials are pursuing the possibility that a pilot or someone else on board the plane

may have diverted it toward an undisclosed location after intentionally turning off the jetliner's transponders

to avoid radar detection, according to one person tracking the probe.”

 

When any of us mentioned that possibility, a few days before that, whether written or spoken, it was dismissed.

Also the one mentioning that was considered a fringe, conspiracy extremist.

 

However, now that the US CT officials are saying the same thing, it suddenly becomes very credible & legit.

Same thoughts by two different groups.

If the first group continues to say the same thing, they are still wrong, by reason of whom it was said.

i.e. if we say it, it is still wrong, because we said it.

If they say it, it will be right, because they said it.

 

Pretty simple logic, although I do not agree with it, yet it very simple.

That same logic applies to much of what we may say or write.

e.g. that the LORD created everything in 6 days, that there is coming a judgment, and that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.

We are considered crazy when we say that the LORD sees & hears everything.

Yet with the NSA spying on US citizens and cameras everywhere like in Chicago & London, that is a different story.

We’re dismissed for saying that the LORD is omnipresent, but they are hailed for saying that Big Brother is ubiquitous.
