No Matter What

TRUTH ...The Bible is voluminous is dealing with truth. The reason for my previous blog was to point out the clear teaching of scripture in this area. Unfortunately, we are in the midst of a full scale attack on Biblical revelation. It alarming to note that the onslaught is being waged from within the church. This fact clearly indicated in John MacArthur's new book entitled "The Truth War." An introductory statement reads:

"Many church going Christians are innocently caught in the crossfire of teaching and writing that promotes alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty thinking, and a cultural push to eliminate absolute truth altogether. As a result, many have been deceived."

In an article called, "What is truth and does it matter?" the author shares the following data:
A recent Barna Research Group survey on what Americans believe asked the question, "Is there absolute Truth?" Sixty-six percent of adults responded that they believe that "there is no such thing as absolute truth; different people can define truth in conflicting ways and still be correct." Seventy-two percent of those aged 18 to 25 expressed this belief. In a recent series of more than twenty interviews conducted at random at a large university, people were asked if there was such a thing as absolute truth - truth that is true across all times and cultures for all people. All but one respondent answered along these lines:

"Truth is whatever you believe." "There is no absolute truth." "If there were such a thing as absolute truth, how could we know what it is?" "People who believe in absolute truth are dangerous."

The lone exception was an evangelical Christian, who said "absolute truth was in Jesus Christ."

Consider the following quote:


"Tolerance of other views is one of the pillars of postmodernism. However, there is one group of people to whom this tolerance is not extended, those who believe truth to be important!"



More to come! Until then ...
