Scrutinizers, Skeptics and Cynics

Scrutiny describes examination, searching or closely watching. Skepticism, on the other hand, is rooted in doubt, mistrust and suspicion and, like Thomas, implies an unwillingness to believe without conclusive evidence. A cynic believes people always act selfishly so they should be  outright rejected. Dr. Jonny explains that as Christians we have to delicately balance absolute belief, even in things we can’t see or understand, with the relentless pursuit of truth.
