The truth and lack of it today. I have been overwhelmed by the divisions in America today. Friends and associates in total disagreement.. Families clashing, Christians attacking other Christians. People totally confused and anxious. Questions with no real or truthful answers. The lack of truthfulness leads to stressful results in a person, business, and country. Mark Twain "If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything." Creditably can be dashed against the rocks with one lie. People can be destroyed and marginalized. We are seeing a society that is reaping the results of a whirlwind of postmodern view of truth. The truth rises above opinion. The fact is a society, business or country cannot survive purposeful lying. Today's fake news is doing great harm to our nation. As we drift from the truth we will see the great divide that is brought into focus by each group lining up by the "truth" that best fits their beliefs rather than absolute truth. This is why the religion of so called relativism, is so confusing and becomes a philosophy that will run into a dead end road. The reason is there is an absolute truth that has nothing to do with conjecture or our so called diversity or beliefs. In this post modern world we are facing the disastrous consequences of no absolutes. We can't expect anything other than what we are seeing in our "free society". We have as a people made the decision to walk away from the TRUTH to establish whatever we want to be the truth. We are seeing the lie proclaimed as truth. The fact is a society that runs away from the truth and allows everyone to determine there own truth cannot survive freedom ..A society built on the building block of falsehoods will only work when a powerful figure takes over and runs the country as a dictator and society becomes tyrannical. This is the the only way to stop the free flow of the so called truth. The truth and belief of the strong man will become the only "truth" the people will be able to speak or hear- or else. Problem solved.... If you think about that for just a moment and then think about the rise of the anti - Christ, You can get a picture of how with some coaxing the people who are so tired and frustrated might be ready to accept a change, especially if any sign and wonders are included in the package. All "truths" must be eliminated and the "one lie" must become "absolute false truth" The press needs to be controlled and thought must be controlled. The dictate of the false must rule the day. This is why telling the truth and the Absolute truth is so important in today's world. Truth is not counterfeit; it is the real thing. Absolute! God in His word says, I am the way, the TRUTH and the life. God hates lying. The Tower of Babel and the Information Facebook, and the Computer Age may be similar as they both are great dividing factors in "societal evolution". Today you can say it and it becomes "truth". Google and Sirius say it and it is "truth". The social media age of speed and information is a two edged sword ... The truth and the lie compete for the heart, soul and mind. Satan convinced man he is a god unto himself and he is all capable and of course all knowing. The deception runs deep in American society today. God stopped man as they built a tower unto heaven and divided the world with languages and people groups. Then man was divided and confused as languages served as a way to move people apart and establish nations and tribes. The current moment in history we are seeing the lie and lack of respect for truth ..and age of pragmatism divide and separate in ways we have not witnessed before. Relativism added to the fact a person can now record a message on Facebook and declare it truth, or write something that is a "fact" and say it is the truth makes it even more important than ever to fact check. Gods word is the absolute Truth and satan is the father of lies - satan is having a great time confusing and bringing deep angst into the lives of people today. MORALITY exalts a nation, a business and your person, while moral relativism denies the existence or objective moral law. Consequently it will never be able to provide an adequate foundation for a moral nation and progress. If objective God giving moral law does not exist, people, governments, business and even churches will not act morally to please a non - existent God, but only as only as moral behavior suits them, and often it will not." This is an "almost quote" from a blog; I encourage you to get acquainted with Daniel Mann - seekers with questions about Christianity.
