1 | Defining Truth | Josh 10:12 | Lionstrong | 6476 | ||
Truth is not physical, relative or temporary. With respect to physical, it is not some physical motion in the brain either. Truth is not individualistic. Truth is universal, mental or spiritual, eternal, absolute, and unchanging propositions or thoughts. All scientific laws are tentative. Progress in science insures that the present laws will be replaced by other laws. If truth is unchanging, then science is false. |

2 | Quest for Truth | Josh 10:12 | Hank | 6478 | ||
Don't you feel, Lionstrong, that the Bible gives an adequate definition of what truth is? Passages are ample. As good a place as any to begin the search is John 14:6. The Bible, for me, is a more reliable resource in one's quest for absolute truth than scientific or philosophic "truth" whose definitions are ever changing, or anyone's opinion whose worth is essentially worthless. --Hank | ||||||
3 | Quest for Truth | Josh 10:12 | Lionstrong | 6509 | ||
Scripture does not give definitions for all the words it uses. Many words we know the definitions of although they are not given in Scripture. Sometimes the context or other passages helps us understand how a word is to be taken. Although "truth" is not defined in Scripture, it is clear from how it's used in Scripture that it is not the "truth" of our culture which views truth as relative. John 14:6 is no more a definition of the word "truth" than is 1 John 4:8 is a definition of love. John 14:6 teaches that Jesus is the truth. It does not teach that truth is Jesus. This verse, then, tells us something about the nature of truth. Since "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever," we learn that truth is eternal and immutable. |

4 | Quest for Truth | Josh 10:12 | Radioman | 6549 | ||
"Sometimes the context or other passages helps us understand how a word is to be taken." Sometimes an English or Greek dictionary helps us understand what a word means. "John 14:6 teaches that Jesus is the truth. It does not teach that truth is Jesus." This makes about as much sense as saying: It is true that 2 plus 2 equals 4. It is not true that 4 equals 2 plus 2. |
