What is Truth?
Written by J.B. Dowse
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [rightly] that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, what is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews… John 18:37,38
Pilate asked this when examining Jesus but didn’t wait for an answer. I don’t think he expected one. However, speaking at another time to Thomas, the answer was given:
Jesus saith unto him [Thomas], I am the way, the truth, and the life… John 14:6
There seem to be more and more pop-up adverts attacking the Bible and the things God has said or done in it. They call them weird or shocking or myths and set up lists of these things. Some of which I have looked at and discovered that whoever sets these things up really does not know or understand God’s word and why some of these things are said or done. But then the general ignorance is widespread now as very few are listening to the Truth, when it is allowed to be told that is.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3, 4
“And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.” 2 Peter 2:2
In this day and age, everyone has their truth. Nothing and no one is right or wrong, it’s just their truth. So, you can believe whatever you like and just say that it is my truth and so it must be right if only for me. Hence this ridiculous gender identity fad. If someone says they are the opposite sex, or even if they are a llama! Yes folks, a llama, then we must accept it and treat them as if they are their chosen identity! The world’s gone mad!
We used to call it my “opinion”, but now it is my truth, which is far more ominous than it just being my opinion. Opinions can change, but if you say it is my truth, you cannot change it, or you will be called a liar, make yourself look very silly, or you make the so-called truth invalid.
We see this sort of thing on social media these days; something someone said maybe years ago, is dug up and used against them if they are thinking differently now, there is no room for anyone merely to say: that was my opinion then, but I have since learnt the opposite or something different, or I was young then and now I am more mature. No, once you have said it, whatever it is, it has become your truth, you are condemned for what you said then and there is no room for change or repentance in the face of new evidence or further enlightenment in today’s society.
The fact is, there is only ONE TRUTH that is real and only ONE who is really TRUE.
“… judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.” Isaiah 59:14, 15
It has become almost impossible now to have an in-depth conversation with anyone regarding the Truth, they would rather believe in aliens than an Almighty Creator God Who is Truth. As soon as you mention God or Jesus or the Bible, you see the eyes go up and around and can almost hear their thoughts – “Oh no, a religious fanatic or far right, or I’m bored already!”
Yet we who believe, continue to proclaim The TRUTH because we care about the people, God cares, He wants His people to be saved and have eternal life. But the TRUTH is, unless the people repent of their many sins and wickedness and return unto His ways and Laws WHICH ARE TRUTH, they will perish in the fires of eternity [Matthew.25:41] – AND THAT IS THE TRUTH!
“But the fearful, and unbelieving… and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” Revelation 21:8
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, [who only is the TRUTH,] and you shall be saved.” Acts 16:31.
The church is not the kingdom, the church is Christ’s Body within the kingdom, the kingdom which is the WIFE/BRIDE of God – married, divorced, re-betrothed and soon to be re-married at the return of our Lord Jesus Christ in glory. Learn the truth about Israel, what actually happened to her and about her true identity now. Then you will understand what is happening in the world today and why there is such chaos and unrest and why everything is falling apart. But you will also understand that the God of TRUTH is our only hope. Man cannot save the planet, only God can do that as it belongs to Him, He made it and all that is in and on it. Man has only ruined everything with Satan’s help of course. However, when He returns, to those who hate Him:
“… out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword [that is His Law Word], that with it he should smite the nations [those who are opposed to Him]: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron [that is with power, firm and invincible]: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” Revelation 19:15.
But then to those who believe: “… God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write, for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:4,5.
