Christ Jesus IS Christianity.
Not the church, not the books, not the degrees, not the dogmas, not the rituals.
Christ Jesus IS the Truth - the only Truth.
His Word is Truth for our minds and His Holy Spirit is Truth for our hearts.
Do your first works and return to your first love.
Get into His Word and be filled with His Holy Spirit.

Truth is not relative - it is absolute. For it to be absolute there must be a guarantor. The Lord is the guarantor of Truth.
The Bible, is the written Truth.

➛ His love
Any notion that a person may have regarding Truth must have its foundation in God`s Word - the bible and Jesus.
Otherwise the notion, however reasonable or popular, is error.
The Bible puts it this way:
There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. |
There are many popular ideas that are in error:
- women have a right to kill the unborn - abortion
- sexual perversion is OK - homosexuality
- stealing by proxy is OK - entitlements
- scales will be used in The Judgment - salvation
- we are All God`s children - newbirth
- dogs are people too - animals
- profiling is wrong - The Judgment
Jesus is the Truth. His Word speaks to the Truth.
Jesus says unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Holy Spirit Father, but by me. Jesus introduces the sandwich prayer - praise, petition, praise. Isn't it interesting that Christians have been praying this prayer for 2000 years and yet most Christians do not know the name of the Holy Spirit Father? Oh yes, some Christians will give you a litany of names from the Old Testament, especially YHVH, but still refer to Him as God (which is just a title) or Father which is just a role. When Jesus spoke these words to His disciples He was leading them to a monumental Truth. They were still trying to understand who this man was. So, He could not have held on to them if He told them that the name of the Father was Jesus and that the Father was standing before them and speaking to them. So, Jesus instructs them to pray to the Father and hallow His 'name' without telling them the Father's name. The disciples like Christians today either assumed the 'name' to be YHWH or Lord or God. It was only at the end of His ministry, before going to the cross, that Jesus told them who He is, who the Father is and what the Father's name is though He had laid down many hints. . We are to refer to the Holy Spirit Father of Christ Jesus using His name which is Jesus. We are to ask the Holy Spirit Father for what we need using the name of Jesus . |
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. |
Study to show yourself approved unto the Lord, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. |
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. |
Honesty is a by-product of having received the Truth.
The spirit of lying that is dominating public life is evidence that the truth is not in people`s lives.
There is no reason to be frustrated with the lying and the liars. A liar lies. That is who they are.
The only way a liar can change is to accept the Truth.
So, we should simply see lying as a signal for us to share the Truth with them.

We have been fed a lie for 55 years - that there is more than one Truth.
The reality is that there is only one Truth - Christ Jesus. Outside of Him is darkness. When you are in the dark you call evil good and good evil.
Jesus said you will know the tree by its fruit. See the lost as who they are - people who need Christ.
Hearing and receiving the Truth brings repentance, and repentance enables Christ to make a New Spirit being of us. |
