Bible Question: 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 |
Bible Answer: 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. |
