ABSOLUTE TRUTH

            Is there such a thing as an absolute truth? Let’s look at this. To say there is NO GOD is an absolute statement, but there is no way of proving that statement. Therefore, it is not an absolutely true statement. The statement is based on various factors that may or may not happen to come into play. The same is true of the converse statement; there IS A GOD. That also cannot be proved. The whole nature of faith never demands proof. 

            I cannot actually SEE GOD, but I can see the evidence that a Supreme Being exists simply by looking at nature, and other aspects of creation. Don’t believe in CREATION? You believe in EVOLUTION? The THEORY of Evolution is NOT FACTUAL. It is scientific theory and conjecture that cannot be proven without a shadow of a doubt. Is it possible that the BIG BANG was in actuality the exact moment when God said, “Let there be light”? That is what some creationists are saying. No one was there when it happened, so you are back to the notion that coincides with the statement, “If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear & see it, does it make a sound?” How would you know? You wouldn’t. So therein lies the conundrum we are faced with.

            We believe much of what we know by faith. We take it for granted that our history is true, but what if it was a pack of lies? How would we know? We wouldn’t. Even eyewitnesses would have their own version of past events, which may or may not correspond with another person’s version. Proof. It can be somewhat sketchy at times. It’s based on interpretation.  

            You can’t always believe what you SEE. Unless you personally experience something, you should automatically look at that THING with a jaundiced eye. To think like this can make someone CYNICAL.

So, what do you believe? I would guess you would believe and subsequently trust that which you find reasonably plausible. We choose to believe that which makes the most sense to us.  Consider placing your faith and trust in Almighty God. Do an investigation. While you will not find proof, you may just begin to understand what this whole ‘God thing’ is all about. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
