Reflection: It's Black and White
Manage episode 434742495 series 3361080
"Contrary to the shrill voices we hear from the world more loudly every day, John says, “I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth” (2:21). The definition of truth hasn’t changed. The Greek word for truth is aletheia. It is “the unveiled reality lying at the basis of and agreeing with an appearance.” In 1828, Noah Webster defined it as “conformity to fact and reality.” The 1984 edition of Webster’s says truth is “conformity to fact or actuality.” Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary declares truth is, “the body of real things, events, and facts.” No lie is of the truth, and even today, you know it."
