I’d like to argue against the modern day philosophy that truth is relative to the person, that there is no such thing as absolute truth. I believe that there is such thing as absolute truth and here is why;
We live in a world where opposites are evident, we know that black and white are opposites, up and down are opposites, along with left and right, soft and hard, big and small, weak and strong, so therefore on a scale of opposites, there HAS to be Truth and Lie.
We also need to acknowledge that we live in a world where we seek justice. We all want justice, not just for society but also for ourselves. No one wants to be take advantage of, we all want justice. So, whoever or whatever is controling the universe, ultimately wants us to have justice. I believe that there is a God, the evidence is overwhelming, so on a spiritual level, I must come to realize that in a world of desired justice, that the God who created all this, is righteous, and if He is indeed righteous, then He would give us the ability to know Truth.
How do I know there has to be truth, because truth is all around us… on a smaller scale of truth, we know that 2+2=4, that is truth, therefore we live in a Reality that Truth obviously exists. On a bit larger scale, we know that the sun sets in the west and rises in the east, that is truth, we know that, we can see that. On an even larger scale, we know that we live on a round planet, on a sphere, so that is truth… so if truth is relative, then the people who once believed the earth was flat are right? No, they had it wrong, and they later discovered the Truth, so you can’t hold on to the belief that the earth is flat, because that is not the truth…
The only way we can discover truth is if we see the reality in which we live in, and how do we see this reality? Well we come to understand our reality by our senses, but if our senses are distorted, then it becomes harder to see Reality because we are looking in the wrong direction. Our senses only translate information and create a reality in our minds… for example, the old question of “if a tree falls in the middle of a forest, does it make a sound?” I will go ahead and argue, no, it doesn’t, because sound is only the vibration of air traveling at different frequencies… it is only our ear that picks up these vibrations and turns them into sound… therefore, if there is no EAR around to translate the vibrations of the air traveling from the action of the tree falling to the ground, then there is no sound… there is vibrations, but no sound…
So our senses can be distorted and give us a different perspective of the reality in which we live in. As in a dream, while dreaming, we see, hear, feel, taste and sometimes maybe even smell… dreams can feel so real sometimes but are they real? no We are actually just asleep, not really doing anything… So when our minds are not intune with reality, and our senses are distorted from reality, then we are technically “asleep.”
So the test for humanity would be to find truth in a world where Truth does exist but truth can be distorted.
So Truth is all around us… Truth exists, so what is the ultimate Truth? If God is a righteous God and has given us a nature of wanting justice, then would he not be justified and righteous to give us the opportunity to know Truth?
The Truth shall set you free, The Truth also hurts… So there is Truth, but what is truth? That is something I believe people should spend more time thinking about… There is Truth, what is truth? or maybe the question is, Who is Truth?
For many years, actually, for my whole life, I’ve consistently questioned the Bible. I questioned the stories, the authors, the credibility… At times, I even challenged men and women on the Bible. I claimed that the Bible is a book of metaphors and a book of stories. Well the Bible is definetly a book of stories… but the Bible is True.
Is it surprising that the Bible actually speaks of today and how people will loose faith in the Bible? Is it surprising to you that the Bible has told us of Evolution and its dangers? Is it surprising that the Bible accurately described the Universe before man accepted the facts?
Many will claim that oh well it was Man who wrote it. Yes, man did write it… but under the control and direction of the Holy Spirit. How do I know? Well, it’s simple… for the Bible tells me so. Ahhh doesn’t that annnoy you? When people who claim the truth of the Bible only back it up by the Bible? Well let’s let the Bible defend itself… Here’s what we see:
In the words of Albert Einstein… the FACE of Modern Day Physics…
“Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe – a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.” -Albert Einstein
What holds the Earth up?
From a stack of turtles to the world is flat, MAN has been wrong… But the Bible tells us this;
Job 26:7 — “He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.”
Flat vs. Round
Isaiah 40:22— “It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.”
Proverbs 8:27—“When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep.”
The Bible clearly presents its own case. The earth is a sphere, it is round… but yet we give Man credit for that discovery…
The Paths of the Sea
Is it not funny how the authors of the Bible wrote about pathways in the sea??? Ah! But later, man finally caught up to the Bible and discovered the currents of the ocean…
Psalm 8:6-8—“You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen—Even the birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.”
And in this argument, Man did not discover the paths of the sea but Matthew Maury, an officer in the US Navy in the 1800s made the discovery after reading that very verse… But yet we are taught that it is Man who discovered all these things… Man, such evil for man to worship man.
Time, Space, and Matter
Here is my absolute favorite verse from the Word of God.
Genesis 1:1—“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Let’s digest:
In the beginning; TIME
Heavens: SPACE
Earth: MATTER
“In the beginning of TIME, God created Space and Matter.”
We now know that the Universe has three parts to it… Time, Space, and Matter. Thank you Albert Einstein for confirming the Bible!
Let’s go further with the Creation chapter…
Genesis 1:2—“The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.”
Let’s digest… even though the first verse says that God created the earth, in the next verse it claims that the earth was without form and empty. So that means that there wasn’t anything to hold matter together…
So what holds matter together???
Quantum Mechanics… AKA: LIGHT!
So what’s in the next verse???
Genesis 1:3—Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
So when God saw that the earth was without form and empty… God created Light!
John 8:12—Then Jesus spoke to them again saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
Stay with me now… Jesus said, “I am the Light” and we now know that it is Light that holds matter together… so the Human body must be held together by Light right? Well if you would have read my previous blog on Laminin, the molecule that holds our bodies together, the Molecule structure of it is in the shape of a cross… it is indeed Jesus, the Light of the world that Holds the universe and all matter together…
I am not done… I will be writing a few more blogs to present more evidence on how the Bible is Truth and truly is the Word of God.
Before I begin, please take a moment to ask yourself, “Are the labels and names given to an event, a cause, a war, or a disease by accident? Did the names just seemed to make the most sense at the time?”
Well for anyone who has ever started a business, club, society, or anything of that nature, knows perfectly well that to name the organization is a difficult task that must be thought out carefully… because words are power… a simple word can change society. For example – Terrorism. A word that automatically strikes fear into the hearts of every American and every citizen of the western world.
So now let us look at this “Swine Flu” epademic.
Swine… what is the definition? well TheFreeDictionary.com website defines swine as;
swine
n swine [swain]
1 (pluralswine) an old word for a pig.
2 (pluralswines) an offensive word for a person who behaves in a cruel or disgusting way towards others.
Dictionary.com defines swine as;
swine (swīn) 
n. pl. swine
1.) Any of various omnivorous, even-toed ungulates of the family Suidae, including pigs, hogs, and boars, having a stout body with thick skin, a short neck, and a movable snout. 2.) A person regarded as brutish or contemptible.
n. pl. swine
1.) Any of various omnivorous, even-toed ungulates of the family Suidae, including pigs, hogs, and boars, having a stout body with thick skin, a short neck, and a movable snout. 2.) A person regarded as brutish or contemptible.
So each source gives us to definitions; the first is that “swine” is a pig, and the second is that “swine” is a person who has the intention of harming others.
In George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” he symbolizes corrupt government as pigs; The character, Napolean, who is represented as a Pig, is based on the persona of Joseph Stalin. A man who killed over 20 million of his own people… kinda makes Hitler look like an amateur huh?
For a more in depth analysis of Napolean in the novel, click here.
The philosophical band, Pink Floyd, famous for their deep lyrics and symbolism took George Orwell’s book, Animal Farm, and wrote an album for it… here are some lyrics from the song “Pigs (Three different ones)—
“Hey you, Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You’re trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You’re nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
…..! …..! …..! …..!
You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you’re nearly a treat,
Mary you’re nearly a treat
But you’re really a cry.”
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You’re trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You’re nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
…..! …..! …..! …..!
You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you’re nearly a treat,
Mary you’re nearly a treat
But you’re really a cry.”
I’ll leave it up to you to think deeply on the meaning of these lyrics.
So here is what I’m suggesting… we need to quit being swayed and manipulated by the media… everyone in America knows that the media is controlled… everyone knows CNN is a liberal media and FOX News is a conservative media, so we are well aware of the manipulation, but no one seems to WANT to acknowledge that the media is working us over.
