The Truth

The absolute Truth

Part 1



Pontius Pilate once asked, "What is truth?"


Do you know what's funny? The truth was standing right in front of him.

And to this day, people still ask that question. Some people find truth with their emotions, some find truth with their own subjective opinion, some find truth with themselves, and others think that there is no truth. But if there is no such thing as absolute truth, then that's statement isn't true either. Which means that there has to be some truth. That statement contradicts itself.

Truth isn't subjective. The fact is that the Earth is round, and that Rome wasn't built in a day. That is a fact, which means that it is based on absolute truth. Peoples emotional states fluctuate, and are as unpredictable as the weather. Peoples subjective opinions change like the seasons. So in the end, not all truths are equal, not all roads lead to Heaven, and not all opinions are equally valid.

Take this into consideration. If God exists, then that means he created the Galaxies, the Universe, the Planets, the Sun, nature, animals, and humanity. There is a design behind everything. There is a design behind how the Universe operates, how the Earth operates, and even our bodies have a design to them. So based on the design of everything in this world, there has to be a designer. That's just basic logic.

But if all of this is true, and he(or she) decided to give us a Holy Book like the Bible that tells us how to live our lives, then we must follow it. Jesus Christ was not only the Son of God, but God in the flesh. Which means that God basically came down from Heaven in human form, to sacrifice his life for our salvation. Jesus says that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. That's a powerful statement, and it is supported by scripture.

Let's go to the book of Genesis. It says, "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth."

Now in Genesis 1: 26, it says "Let us make man in our image."

Who is us? Who is God talking about? If it's not the Angels, then it must be something else. Now let's go to the book of John.

In John 1:1-3, it says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

Jesus never said that he was God, but he did claim that both he and the father are one(John 10:30).

Let's go back to Exodus. God spoke to Moses through a burning bush and said, "I AM WHO I AM." And in John 8:58, he says, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" Jesus basically claims what his father said to Moses. Which means that Jesus is not only the Son, but that he is Lord.

There are many other scriptures that support this fact, but I need to get to my point. The point is that the Bible is created, written, and told by God himself. Which means that it is the absolute truth, and the standard that humanity has to live by.
