Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?
Jesus said to Pilate,
"... the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.
Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?" - (John 18:37-38)
Still a good question.
Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

Should we be as frightened of the word "
truth" as we are of the word "
false"?
- Someone may claim the something is false. But that's only their opinion. Even if they claim it is "biblical".

So if I claimed that the bible is truth, then that is only my opinion and it is not fact?
The Word of God is the book of truth. It's not a book of truth, it is
the Book of truth.
That is what our Lord has told us. Are you one of the ones who doubt some or all parts of the Bible? Truth isnt relative. Truth is the truth. We woke up on this planet with an inhibited knowledge of God, and if God was working a massively big plan in order to save His people...don't you think that He is capable of putting His truth within you through His word?
One of these days, we will stand before the Lord and it wouldnt surprise me a bit if He says, did you read and believe my book of truth that I made sure you could have to use as a signpost and a lamp for your feet?
Well they said that this translation and that translation was not good so shouldnt really be trusted, so I wasnt sure...
So you would not believe?
I believe Lord!
Did you encourage others to find Me through My Word?
Well I started a thread once in a discussion forum and said maybe the Bible is probably merely man's opinion and not necessarily facts....
Did you give them any scriptures to base their choice on?
Umm, no.
But surely you have read
1 John 2:27
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him..../KJV
Or John 16:13
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come..../KJV
All Truth, Lord?
That's what I said. Did you not Believe me? You could have given them
Romans 8:14
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God..../KJV
It has been widely taught to my people to read my Word and to Believe it. For when you do, the Holy Spirit will come and reveal to you all truth...
Not some truth or most truth, all truth. can you not understand this my child?
...??
I have told you. I have spoken the words and they do not come back to me void. The Holy Spirit Comforter comes to guide my people into All Truth so that they need not any man or any opinion to teach them the truth...
Boy I sure wouldnt want to have to have that conversation with the Lord. That would scare the Life into me!
Why wouldnt you at least try to balance your speculations with....what the word of God says? I mean, you are a Christian, right? So why not? Yours is a one sided debate. Weeeel it's prolly just someones opinion....and that's it? Smooth, but still has a giant hole in it. I would repent from starting this thread if I were you. I would ask forgiveness. I dunno about you, but I felt the terror of the Lord before.
