In
The Search For The Truth Go
To The Source - Look In The Book
First, it must
be noted here that we are speaking of
THE TRUTH, not just A
truth. We are not concerning ourselves here
with those so-called "discoveries of truth" that
might be revised and/or updated with every new
concept of what truth is supposed to be in line
with the current thought of science or technology
or philosophy or "trendy" religion. These things
are always subject to change in a moment. But
here, let us consider REALITY, which
never changes, no matter who is comparing it with
what or whom. The truth is the truth, whether we
believe it or not; whether we agree with it or
not; whether we accept it or not. Truth is truth,
and will stand as truth even when all the
knowledge, understanding or great swelling ideas
and words have come to an end. Remember always
that opinions are like noses, in that everybody
has one and "political correctness" may very well
change with the very next election.
There are so
many who are enraged against the Truth simply
because it makes them out to be wrong. They would
rather tear down plaques or remove monuments or
ban books or people who speak out against them (as
if such actions could really change anything).
When one considers the consequences of "willful
ignorance" it should motivate one to desire to
know what is really true! What has been from the
beginning of it all? What will be at the ending of
it all? What has that to do with me? Why am I
here? Where am I going? Is there a Heaven? Is
there a Hell? If there is, which one is my
destiny? Can I determine my own eternal destiny?
Is it possible to change my destiny? People of any
intelligence at all should surely want to know.
Where does one
begin to seek for such a treasure as the reality
of the truth? To borrow from an old cliche: "It is
always best to start at the beginning." The truth
has always been here, as it will always be, and,
it is always available to the sincere seeker. If
you would know the truth as it pertains to you,
then you must accept it as it pertains to each and
every one else. Truth is never a respecter of
persons. What applies to one of us applies to all
of us. Truth is truth to one and to all!

What Is
Truth?
Jesus
Said: "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 heareth my voice." and: "If ye
continue in my word, then are ye my disciples
indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free."
[John 18:37;
8:31-32]
