What is Truth?

In today’s society where we are dealing with major issues of Truth, I found this to be very helpful.


Dr. Emerson Eggerichs brought this out in a conference for Marriage Couples.


Heaven itself is a free gift. Free gift.

Salvation is a free gift to enter Heaven.

You can't buy it, you can’t earn it.

There are Rewards that God wants to give you.

There is a difference between the two.

Salvation verses the rewards that the Lord wants to Reward you with.


You must come to a point and realize that God is there and He loves you.

We had to come to that point.


This culture is an interesting culture.


What is truth?


Is Mohammed the Prophet?

Hinduism with many Gods?

Is Buddha the enlightenment?

Judaism?

Is Jesus God?

Is there just an impersonal force?

Is it many Gods?

Is Allah only God?


What about Relativism and Secularism?


Relativism is the cultural doctrine that says,

There is no one right way about believing anything about anything.

Everything is relative.


I am always stunned at how unthinking we are as a culture, when we as a people say there is no one right way of believing anything, or everything is relative.


When you say that you are making an absolute statement.


Any Philosophy that in its major proposition and its major axiom contradicts the very thing it proposes is invalidated.


It’s an invalid irrational philosophy. Relativism is invalidated.


The point that needs to be made is that everybody will believe something, based upon something.

What will be your source? How credible is that source?


But for you to believe in this idea that everything is relative and there is no one right way to believe in anything is an invalid philosophy.


Those people who believe in Relativism, due it on religious grounds, but when it comes to political platforms they are so irate over anybody who differs with their political persuasion.

They are glaring Hypocrites, but no one calls them into question.


But you had better be a thinking person.

Some of you are doubting your very faith because of relativism, you learned in Academic Settings and causes you to begin to doubt the very thing that deep within your heart you believe, but no longer believe is true.


You need to reconsider the words of Christ. Because your words there don’t agree with the words of Christ.
