The previous thread, Why do people lie? did not accurately express the author's specific intentions. Norman Turner has re-phrased the original question to read, Why won't Christians acknowledge error? This applies to Christian institutions, as well.

Listed below may (or may not) be some of the reasons:

fear of a possible penalty of some kind
lowering of one's self-esteem
acknowledging the incorrectness of a previous course of action
difficulty in changing this course of action
arrogance or lack of humility
belief in the inerrancy of a tradition
failure to discern the moving hand of God
unwillingness to acknowledge or accept censure from the Lord

Please accept my apology for miscasting my previous thread. I welcome your comments on this new attempt.

Thank you,
Norm Turner, Toronto
