Relative Truth

Posted March 22nd, 2014 by christian

As I write, I often wonder about what others would say if I allowed them to comment.

I source the Bible, Webster, and Wiki.

“Why Wiki” for example:

Wikipedia is founded on the opposite of this blog, the rule that “anyone can edit”

I find that a refreshing concept.  It is a democratic opinion of the truth, it seems to operate on the verifiable opinions and historical views of the general public.  This is an opposing viewpoint, or at least an opposite source from the Bible, and truth can be found in it, because God is big enough to defend his own truth.  He works among his people, even among unbelievers, to not let error overtake truth.

He who seeks will find [truth], it was true in Solomon’s day…

2 Chron 9:23  And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.

and it is true today, the truth will be found by men who are humble and honest enough to search until they find it.

While Satan may be the god of this age, “the Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it” (1Co 10:28; Exo 19:5; Deu 10:14; Job 41:11; Psa 24:1; Psa 50:12; 1Ti 6:17).  Ultimately, the source of all truth is the Creator.

So to encourage my two readers, keep searching for the truth.  Pray for Discernment, and be humble enough to admit that you are not the holder of all truth, you may be wrong, you are definitely wrong about some things, and ask the Lord to show you the absolute truth about something.  He instructs us to pray for wisdom and to seek knowledge.

When the search is over, the importance of all truth and knowledge will pale in comparison to the relationship that it leads to.
