The Day we start believing the truth, is the day we start to grow. Children in School are taught the basics of education, what we call the three R's. They believe what they are taught, and learn how to read, write, and calculate numbers.
The problem arises when it comes to teaching the religious part of life. Without knowing the truth many will, and are, falling, trapped in the pit of ignorance of the truth. The family unit has fallen in disarray, and confusion. Many children are turning against their parents, and parents are turning against their children.
In these last days we have brought forth a generation of children that are lost without the truth within them, these children have turned to drug use, homosexuality, and all manner of debauchery, and sin.
Children having children, the welfare system is over loaded, the males are not taking responsibility for the baby's being born to them, and many new baby's are dieing by the thousands of disease, and hunger.
This generation knows about Moses and Jesus, but they don't know them. These two people are just fairy tales to them, without true meaning, for they haven't been taught, they haven't been warned, or they just don't believe. So then, what is the truth?
Here we see the difference between Moses, and Christ in John 1:17; "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
The law was given by Moses, and this generation knows law.
The do nots of the Ten Commandments, are in knowledge of every human being upon this earth. Even those that do not believe in Christ, honor, most of the Commandments set down by God to the Israelites.
What this generation doesn't know, is that if you do not steal but commit adultery, you are guilty of all the law.
For there is no one law that is greater than another. Speaking spiritually, God sees no difference between a lier and an adulterer, a thief and a rapist, nor a bragger and a murderer.
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? (Rom 2:20-23.)
John 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, "What is truth?..."
What is truth?
Truth is the ability to believe without seeing, feeling without being felt, and hearing without verbal communication.
The Truth is, in God, and no other. The truth is, that we are property of the Most High. The truth is, we are living on a planet, in space, suspended by nothing.
The Truth is, that we all are in need of salvation, for the actual truth is, that this world is coming to and end.
Will you believe the truth if you are told?
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? (Rom 3:5-7.)
Webster tells us that Truth is; "Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be."
The truth of God, is his veracity and faithfulness.
To do truth, is to practice what God commands. (John 3.)
Websters definition; "Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be."
1.Exact accordance with that which is, and was.
For Our God was, and still is, from everlasting to everlasting.
There was truth before there was a universe, the planets, and the sky.
There was truth before the animals of the field, and the birds in the sky existed, there was truth, before man.
We don't see all things about God from the New Testament, no, we must also look at the truth, from the beginning of the creation. Have you ever wondered how old God is, What about Satan? God is not old, nor young, for He is Spirit, He had no beginning, and will have no end. On the other hand, Satan was created in a space, and time, of Gods choosing. He can be given a date of creation, not countable by man, but by God.
This fact shows another weakness of the deceiver.
Here is a question that many ask, but very seldom receive an answer.
If God created Satan, didn't He also create sin?
No. For Satan(Light Giver.) was a free spirit and created all manner of sin. There-fore he fell from righteousness, and was ejected from Heaven. Since God cannot sin, it was, and still is, impossible for God, to create any manner of sin nor unrighteousness.
The truth comes from a doctrine, not written by man, but by the Holy Spirit of God. We have been introduced by doctrines of many kind all of our lives. This is the reason that there is so much confusion on what the truth is. Confusion brings about the lack of clear thought, the lack of being able to choose the rights, and wrongs, of doctrine.
Act 17:19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
The truth is sometimes hard to accept. This upsets the mind, and body, causing a rejection of the truth. Why?
For it is written that; "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." (Gal 5:17.) The things that bring pleasure to the flesh may be harmful to the spirit. For adultery may bring pleasure to the flesh, but it condemns the soul. But for a couple that are married, there is no defilement of their bed.
Your mind controls the body, and the spirit controls the mind. Now, if the mind takes control of the body, and spirit, you can have two outcomes.
If the Spirit is righteous then the mind, and body act accordingly. But if the spirit, is in darkness, it acts in accordance with the wishes of the body, then the mind will allow all members to sin, this only to please the lust of the flesh. This is why it is written in scripture; The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Mat 6:22-23)
For we all must remember that this body, or life, is divided into three separate but joined parts. 1. The Body. 2. The Mind and 3. The Spirit.
The Truth is that, the spirit, and the mind of many, have been in darkness and cannot see the truth. They have been deceived by false doctrine and lust. Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. (Eph 4:18-19)
Act 17:20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
This may seem to be a strange doctrine to many, but the truth is, that no other religion, on this earth, teaches truth, as love and forgiveness, no other religion is based on the will of God, no other religion treats your enemies as yourself. No other religion has an offering of pure blood for the forgiveness of sin, For as it is written, "Without the shedding of Blood, there is no forgiveness of sin." So then, What is Truth? You know what it is, all you have to do is accept it. Ars.
