Truth is not subjective...that is the beauty of God! Truth is Absolute!
An Honest Man Alters His Ideas To Fit The Truth.
A Dishonest Man Alters The Truth To Fit His Ideas
What is Truth? How can one know it? ...Thy Word is TRUTH. John 17:17
Truth is not arbitray as only God is Truth. We may scrutinize everthing else though to attempt scrutinizing God is futile.
This is where science fails for in so doing it elevates itself to godhood.
some say "The difference between what is real and what is not is totally up to us."
Uh no, reality is just that, reality. What we chose to accept as TRUTH is what is totally up to us. This is a HUGE difference, and needed to be corrected.
The truth is that God has accomplished all that is necessary for salvation by sending His Son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for a person's sins. The truth is in Jesus.
Joh 14:6 - Show Context Jesus saith unto him, Iamtheway, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Joh 17:17 - Show Context Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Joh 1:17 - Show Context For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Truth can also be defined as whatever God has spoken and what He continues to says to the world. Truth is the opposite of falsehood.
The doctrine of Christ is called "the truth of the gospel"
How do you define "Truth" and how do you know what is "truth"? "Truth for us is not a system of thought. Truth is not created. Truth is. Christ is the truth. Truth is the person Jesus/God. Truth is not limited within our apprehension of it. Truth transcends us; we can never come to the full comprehension of Truth.
The search for Truth is the search for the person of Christ....
Truth is the Mystery of the person of Christ; and because it is the person Jesus/God , the Mystery is inseparably linked with event: the event of encounter. Mystery and event are one...
Pontius Pilate asked the question "What is Truth", he should have asked "Who is Truth". It is there he would have found his answer.
I believe the Bible is the truth, Jesus is the truth and how the Holy Spirit guides us is the truth.
Truth is the person of Jesus Christ. Sometimes I guess it is difficult for me to comprehend that Truth is a "person", but I do believe this.
it will help when you realize that Jesus Christ was not only a person, He is God. He was fully man, yet fully God !The truth is God.
Jesus is both fully human and fully God. God revealed Truth to us by becoming man...His Word is Truth!
The truth is in the Person of Christ and also in the Bible, the word of God which reveals Christ to us with the leading of the Spirit. If the Bible is the very word of God, then it's the truth.
Truth? What is Truth? Truth is the opposition of falsehood. It is the Light that pierces the Darkness to reveal what is hidden. There are no secrets, no gnosis in Truth. Darkness desires to be hidden, It cannot stand in the light of revealing truth. It has power only in desception, it cannot stand on it's own merits.
Truth can only be Truth.....it stands on it's own, dependant upon nothing else. It is what it is. Jesus is Truth
Only "one True Answer!"
Jesus said: (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Thy Truth: Thy Word is Truth.
Strange all the Opinions about TRUTH, and only a Few get it RIGHT!

"For God is not the author of confusion..."
"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work."
For the Christian, the ultimate expression of truth is found in the Bible, in Jesus who said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life..." (John 14:6).
Of course, most philosophers and skeptics will dismiss His claim, but for the Christian, He is the mainstay of hope, security, and guidance.
Jesus, who walked on water, claimed to be divine, and rose from the dead, said that He was the truth and the originator of truth.
If Jesus is wrong, then we should ignore Him. But, if He is right, then it is true that we should listen to Him.
The eyewitnesses wrote what they saw. They were with Him. They watched Him perform many miracles, heal the sick, calm a storm with a command, and even rise from the dead.
Either you believe or dismiss these claims. If you dismiss them, that is your prerogative. But, if you accept them, then you are faced with decisions to make about Jesus.
What will you believe about Him? What will you decide about Him? Is He true? Is what He said true?
Truth conforms to reality. Jesus performed many miracles and rose from the dead.
perhaps we could look further look at truth be determining what it is not. Truth is not error. Truth is not self-contradictory. Truth is not deception. Of course, it could be true that someone is being deceptive, but the deception itself isn't truth.
In relativism, all points of view are equally valid and that all truth is relative to the individual. If this were true, then it would seem that this is the only truth relativism would have to offer.
But, the problem is that in reality, relativism isn't true for the following basic reason.
If what is true for me is that relativism is false, then is it true that relativism is false? 1) If you say no, then what is true for me is not true and relativism is false.
2) If you say yes, then relativism is false. Relativism seems to defy the very nature of truth; namely, that it is not self contradictory.
As much as you may disagree, there is absolute truth in the universe. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me." That is a universal law. We are all as much subject to this law as we are to gravity -- whether we believe it or not. Our desire is that all would be saved, and experience the joy that can only come through God's grace. You probably view all faiths as equal. All roads may lead to Rome, but only one path leads to eternal life. That truth is absolute and eternal. |
