Understanding Truth in Today’s Culture War
Manage episode 418379927 series 3463166
Hello Graceful Warriors!
In defining truth, it is first helpful to note what truth is not:
• Truth is not simply whatever works. This is the philosophy of pragmatism—an ends-vs.-means-type approach. In reality, lies can appear to “work,” but they are still lies and not the truth.
• Truth is not simply what is coherent or understandable. A group of people can get together and form a conspiracy based on a set of falsehoods where they all agree to tell the same false story, but it does not make their presentation true. (media)
• Truth is not what makes people feel good. Unfortunately, bad news can be true.
• Truth is not what the majority says is true. Fifty-one percent of a group can reach a wrong conclusion.
• Truth is not what is comprehensive. A lengthy, detailed presentation can still result in a false conclusion.
• Truth is not defined by what is intended. Good intentions can still be wrong.
• Truth is not how we know; truth is what we know.
• Truth is not simply what is believed. A lie believed is still a lie.
So what is Truth?
John 14:6 Is the ultimate answer. God’s Word holds true, and we can trust everything He does. Here are a few verses of truth --But It is the entire word of God that is truth and that you can make your stand on and cash that check on.
Truth Verses:
- Numbers 23:19
- Psalms 15:2
- Psalms 119:160
- Psalms 33:4
Episode Summary- Discerning and understanding truth in todays cultural war- we must stand on God's truth no matter what we see, or hear. When we dig into God's word, it will shed light on the lies of men in this cultural war. If you are Standing on the cornerstone of his word and calling on him in truth- Then He is faithful to all who call on him.
