Whatever is true...

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things

Phil. 4:8

What is truth?

That seems to be the question of our time and no one seems to know the answer. However, society claims to have come up with a solution: there is no answer. This is postmodernism. The postmodern worldview is one of acceptance. No one is wrong. Everyone is doing the right thing, regardless of what they are doing. Postmodernism is lacking a strong foundation. First of all, it just doesn't make sense for everyone to be right. My monotheistic beliefs clearly contradict the polytheism found in Hinduism. There's no way that we could both be right. Secondly, the belief in absence of absolute truth is an absolute truth in itself. It's an oxymoron.

Truth was obviously a big deal to Christ, since that's why he humbled himself by coming to earth to suffer and die on our behalf. When Jesus was talking to Pilate hours before his execution he said to Pilate, "For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world- to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice." Clearly Jesus believed in absolute truth, otherwise, he could have just maintained his glorious status as ruler of the world and not bothered to save our souls from hell, because it doesn't matter what everyone believes.

So, what is this truth? The "all paths to God" mentality is not upheld by the Bible, which clearly states that there is one narrow path to God- not 6 billion. Colossians 1 says, "Of this you have heard before in the word of truth, the gospel, which has come to you..." The truth is the gospel! The truth is the story of God creating people, the people separating themselves from him, and God bringing them back. That's truth.
God is truth. Think about these things.

"We cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth."

II Cor. 13:8
