What Is Truth?

Is the Holy Spirit communicating to our post modern culture by arranging the manuscript evidence? I think so!

The John Ryland manuscript, dated at 100-135 AD, curiously contains the famous discourse by Jesus and Pontius Pilate form John 18:37-38, "Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world— to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice." Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"

The Bible claims to be the objective Word of God. Whether man understands it or not, whether he recognizes it or not, and whether he applies it to his life or not, it is still the Word of God. If you are an honest truth seeker I suggest that you set your presuppositions to the side. God reveals truth through the Bible.

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." (Mt 7:13-14)

Yes indeed we are narrow-minded as Christians when we say that Christ is the only way to God, but is not a matter of mere preference. We are as narrow as the Lord Jesus Christ. So while it would be nice for us to equivocate in order to win friends and influence people — Jesus has not left that option open to us.

Hi, I'm just wondering what music track is used right in the beginning of the video? The little one that opens the video. Thanks

[LogosApologia]

@o0enhancing0o Its stock music with sonicfireplus scoring software. Sorry I forget the name.

The truth is that everything in this life...your life, my life, whatever...all boils down to the luck of the draw.

[EmotionalIntrovert]

Truth is transcultural huh? tell that to the many Native Americans and Amerindians that died because of your Truth.

[savana906]

This video will probably make God laugh. (All small talk).

Jesus Christ is truth, He is the way life and light.

@paleosmoker You are just ignoring the facts: the command not to murder is an individual act. God's warfare command was to the entire nation as an act of holy war known as herem. It's a category error to claim a contradiction, you are just pounding square pegs into round holes to make a argument. Its not valid.

[LogosApologia]

@paleosmoker the distinction between the holy war situation and individual conduct has already been addressed. How can you say it is morally wrong for someone to kill babies given atheism?

[LogosApologia]

@paleosmoker The Israelites were in a suzerain vassal covenant called the Mosaic covenant and their laws were the stipulations of that covenant. They were a special case. When Jesus came he raised the bar to a higher moral standard, see the sermon on the mount. As followers of Christ we obey civil laws unless they directly conflict the biblical teachings, like the Christians who were killed by the Romans for not worshiping the Emperor, or look up Richard Wurmbrand on YT.

@paleosmoker In regard to capital punishment you are confusing contexts. The Israelites were in a covenant relationship with God. Laws are made by governments today.
