wrong thinking

What is wrong with a society that would rather foster a lie, than admit they were wrong? Don't you just hate it? But, do you do it too?
For some reason we, as a society, have come to the conclusion than it is better to be right than correct! Let me explain, I am a teacher of the Scriptures. That is my Spiritual gift and I enjoy doing it - it makes me happy. One of the things I have had to do is beat up my EGO because I was wrong about some of the teachings I accepted before I learned how to read the Bible with understanding.
