What is the Truth?
Today the truth has been watered down to the point that many would not recognize the truth if it slapped them in the face. In a group of 5 people there will be at least 5 versions of the “truth” expressed and the “gospel truth” is according to whomever makes the group’s final decision.
Remember before a judge all parties are sworn to “tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God”? What ends up happening is everyone simply tells their version of the truth.
1 Kings 3:16-28
Contemporary English Version
16 One day two women[a] came to King Solomon, 17 and one of them said:
Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. Not long ago my baby was born at home, 18 and three days later her baby was born. Nobody else was there with us.
19 One night while we were all asleep, she rolled over on her baby, and he died. 20 Then while I was still asleep, she got up and took my son out of my bed. She put him in her bed, then she put her dead baby next to me.
21 In the morning when I got up to feed my son, I saw that he was dead. But when I looked at him in the light, I knew he wasn’t my son.
22 “No!” the other woman shouted. “He was your son. My baby is alive!”
“The dead baby is yours,” the first woman yelled. “Mine is alive!”
They argued back and forth in front of Solomon, 23 until finally he said, “Both of you say this live baby is yours. 24 Someone bring me a sword.”
A sword was brought, and Solomon ordered, 25 “Cut the baby in half! That way each of you can have part of him.”
26 “Please don’t kill my son,” the baby’s mother screamed. “Your Majesty, I love him very much, but give him to her. Just don’t kill him.”
The other woman shouted, “Go ahead and cut him in half. Then neither of us will have the baby.”
27 Solomon said, “Don’t kill the baby.” Then he pointed to the first woman, “She is his real mother. Give the baby to her.”
28 Everyone in Israel was amazed when they heard how Solomon had made his decision. They realized that God had given him wisdom to judge fairly.
The bible tells us that Truth is a real person and that person is Jesus.
John 14:6 – Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
We are told that men can be women and women can be men. Not true!
Only men can have prostate exams and only women can have pap exams. Don’t believe me – try it!
We are also told that anyone can marry anyone or anything. Not true!
In Genesis, chapter 1 we see that God created man (male and female) and gave man dominion to subdue all living creatures, birds of the air, fish in the sea, each according to their kind.
God sanctioned marriage as a covenant between a man and a woman whereby they have children and populate the world. Sexual activity outside of marriage, same sex marriages or sex with animals is what God calls an abomination (sin).
In the 1700s this English writer Edmond Hoyle comes to mind as he was known as an authority for the rules of card games, where we get the phrase “according to Hoyle”.
Today I’ve hear people say “this is my truth” according to them, but what they say may not be true at all.
As a Christian I know to take what I hear or read and discern it against what the Bible says is right or wrong – I chose to believe God! – RTM
