Jesus asked what is truth




















John God loves all of us and is rich enough for everyone who calls on Him. The Holy Spirit — a. The more willing, obedient, and quick to acknowledge the truth we are, the quicker our progress will be. And what will the result of loving the truth be?

That we are transformed from who we are by nature, and the life of Jesus will be manifested in us. When we judge ourselves, and by faith we put to death whatever the truth has shown us about ourselves, then by faith we are transformed into the image of His glory.

There is no reason to ever be discouraged when we see the truth about ourselves, no matter what we see. Instead we can be filled with hope, because we know that the Spirit of truth is also the Spirit of power, and through Him we are able to overcome all things that stand between us and our goal of being like Christ. And those things that the truth showed us about ourselves can be gone from our lives forever! We can only be saved and sanctified to the same degree that we love the truth.

Without first seeing it, we cannot be purified from it. Objective would align his belief about what was true to the temperature on the thermostat, which is an objective standard. However, Mr. Subjective would not. Now, it used to be that Mr. Subjective could coexist just fine in our culture. Subjective has changed. As Mr. Subjective has increasingly acquired power in our culture, he now demands that Mr. Objective abandon any standard of objective truth because he finds it offensive.

No longer is Mr. Of course, there is an irony in all of this because in order for Mr. Subjective to enforce his standard, he must embrace an objective truth worldview. In other words, Mr. Subjective must say that the only standard for truth is that there is no standard, which, of course, is an objective standard…right?

That said, lest you underestimate just how problematic Mr. Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. 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 when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. Further negotiations, however, between Pilate and the accusers of Jesus brought about the crucifixion. One wonders why. Such action leads one to believe that Pilate feared the truth, perhaps as others might fear it—not being willing to face up to it, not wishing to take upon themselves the discipline and responsibility demanded by truth.

All of mankind should be seekers after truth for it is the supreme essence of their lives. Browne, New York: P. Collier and Son, Co. Truth is knowledge! Truth defined is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The rock of revelation is the foundation of His church. The principle of revelation is indispensable in the living church. This principle is inherent in the affairs of God as He directs His children through His prophets.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was restored under the power and authority of divine revelation.

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. With that heavenly invitation to truth, Joseph Smith ventured into the sphere of prayer and received the knowledge of the Father and the Son, two personalities, and instructions from the voice of the Savior.

Consider this somewhat imperfect analogy: The movie Braveheart described the exploits of William Wallace as he led the Scottish people in rebellion against Edward Longshanks, the king of England. Then one day he came to lead some Scottish warriors into battle who had never met him. I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my country men, here, in defiance of tyranny… Will you fight? We will wait for the real William Wallace to appear.

There was no other William Wallace. In a similar way, the people of Israel had read about God in their Scriptures, but now he had shown up in person. It was ludicrous to think that they could reject him and still claim to follow the God they had only read about. Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. There is only one God, and he became a man in the person of Jesus.

As Jesus walked this earth, he showed us what he is really like and gave us the opportunity to truly know him. We can wait for another to show up who is seven feet tall and has fireballs in his eyes, but there is no other. No one comes to the Father except through me.
