In life we tend to avoid the hard and difficult questions that no one has an answer to. For example who is God? Where did he come from? Does God really care about us? Who is man? And what is truth?? We can spend countless hours and millions on research to try and find out the answer to these simple yet profound questions yet we would never get anywhere close to the answer. If we knew everything we wanted there would be no desire to learn about God because we already “know” everything.
In this course my eyes have been opened to some really hard questions about my society and the world I am living in and it really, truly makes me think were do I fit in and am I trying to make a difference?
Truth- (In the modern dictionary) - The true or actual state of a matter or conformity with fact or reality.
Truth- (Bible) A proven sincerity, verity, honesty and righteousness. John 14:6 “I am the way, the Truth and the Light…”
See the difference?? In the world view truth is whatever you want it to be, but to us Christians Truth as it clearly states is God. Now that would confuse anyone by just looking at it, but Jesus wouldn’t have said this if it meant nothing. Our society is so wrapped up in the fact of “I am a free person I can do what I want” and people are too afraid to think what might actually be out there that is bigger then us. This is scary because we are no longer in control and we tend to love being in control.
Truth simply is God. No way around it straight forward, in your face if you want. I know for a fact God will be there for me and always has always has been.
I think one reason society have some what an “issue” with God is because they cannot wrap their head around that an all consuming God up there in the sky somewhere knows everyone by name and loves everyone and everything! I mean im even so overwhelmed that my creator would care about little old Nicole!!
Who is God? Now a typical response to

    Apostle John wrote in 1 John 4:1 (KJV) to test the spirit by the Spirit; for where there is truth, there is also a lie. There is the Real McCoy and the counterfeit; true and false, true Christians and false Christians, true brethren and false brethren (2Cor. 11:26) who preach a false gospel (Gal. 1:6-9) and so the question asked over 2000 years ago was “What is truth?” Jesus was asked this question by Pontius Pilate and today, there are many discussions concerning truth.…

    What is truth? A simply complex question, truth is what we know, what we believe, or simply what is definite. I believe that we have personal truths that drive our beliefs, both of which are ever changing. In these changing truths, there is a common attribute: to further our truth is to strain our own being. For the betterment and continuity of human thought, we must undergo personal strains in the hope of going deeper into our changing beliefs. These strains are not all internal, for looking for truth is to subject ourselves to the possible maleficence of our own findings. The truth is a dangerous necessity.…

    In Friedrich Nietzsche's essay, "On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense," he determines that language, and therefore human knowledge, is a construction of metaphors and concepts. Language is designed in order to allow individuals to understand their world and come up with what they believe to be "truth" when in all actuality; truth cannot be defined because it is based on ones personal knowledge of the world. Nietzsche says, "[the truth] in short, [is] a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seem to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding." (Nietzsche, 455) To me, truth reminds me a stories that have been passed done throughout generations but as they get passed down, the story changes…

    Despite the fact that the answer to that question is not a difficult one, one should be bold enough to assert that no matter the answer provided, it will always find the favour of some, while it will be rejected by others. However, this should not prevent anyone to let the truth spring forth, because the Bible says “Know the truth and the truth will set you free.”…

    There are two answers for the question, “Is there such a thing as absolute truth?” The answer could be either yes or no. In my opinion, the answer is yes, because every individual lives his or her life in various experiences. Some people claim to know the absolute truth. Individuals based their truth on experiences and emotions and at times not logically consistent. When force fields such as emotions are present decisions are made then opinions are formed. For example, politics, I state politics because it never has a common ground. In politics you’re either Democrat or Republican, and both parties feel their plan is the absolute truth. As an American, we have the right to our own opinion but realize that our opinion is not the absolute truth.…

    “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” Truth is education, but a person could never find the truth without being enlightened. The truth is the easiest thing to find, but many people do not care to find it. Most are more comfortable with the truth or afraid of what actually might be true. However, if they would just be optimistic and fearless they might actually experience and learn more. Anyone can find, learn, and appreciate almost anything that can be taught. And when a person can truly experience any one thing they become enlightened. Not only can this person share his experience but he can also spread the knowledge of what he had learned. Sometimes it is important to examine all possibilities because the amount you can learn can have huge impact on your life. In Mark Twain’s “Advice to Youths” and Plato’s “The Allegory of the Caves,” both authors portray that enlightening and experiencing are the two most important aspects of finding the truth.…

    Truth and falsehood can be defined by: “The Truth is a property of a statement or belief about a fact, or about a relationship between a number of facts, such that it describes this fact, or this relationship, with sufficient precision and completeness for the purpose of a particular inquiry. While falsehood is a property of a statement or belief about a fact, or about a relationship between a number of facts, such that it describes this fact, or this relationship imprecisely or incompletely for the purpose of a particular inquiry.” For two words that have been considered opposites for all human course their definitions have a big amount of similarities, therefore the truth can be transformed into falsehood very easily, the other way around having the same possibility.…
