Subject: Quest for Truth |
Bible Note: 1John 5:6, "It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth."NASB Lionstrong, there is the Truth but there is also truth. I think that John 14:6 is indeed a definition of Truth. John 18:37b, "Everyone who is of the (Truth) hears My voice. Pilate said to Him, "What is Truth?". Pilate didn't know the Truth even though he heard Him. "This is the One who came by water and blood,..."1John 5:6 (Parenthesis mine for comparison) John 8:32, "So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed (Him), "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the Truth,..." "I think that God is Light also, but John l:5, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overpower (comprehend) *it." So I think that God gives light also. He is the (Light) of the world. God is true, and He is the (Truth). God is love, but I can't say that He is Love. 1John 4:10, In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us..." You mentioned two scriptures; about the only ones I can find in this tree to comment on. 1John 4:8,"The one who does not love does not know God, for God/ is love." I found that to be a good contrast with your other verse John 14:6,"Jesus said to him, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life;/..." If we know God, we know the Truth. If the Truth isn't love, we can at least speak the truth in love. The other thing I received from studying your scripture references is the fact that we should test the spirits. We can test science to see what is from God. And science is science, no capitalization there. We are children of God. 1John 4:6, "We are from God; he who knows (God) listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. And remember, "It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth." |
