Applying Your Faith

GO TO: Truth

  • To say, 'no one can know truth' or 'there is no such thing as truth' is a truth statement, thus validating the existence of truth.
  • To say, 'there is no universal truth' or 'truth is only relative' is a universal statement of truth, thus validating the existence of universal truth.
  • To say, 'truth is only subjective' requires objective universal truth to determine its universal subjectivity, thus validating that universal truth is objective
  • To say, 'there exists infinite realities that contain contradictory truths' but this logic must also include the notion that there are realities where there exists no realities or there exists the reality that there is only one reality, thus becomes a self defeating argument. 
  • Truth is the essence of that which is real.  
    • A circle can not be a square due to the defined reality of the objective objects.
      • A square circle is not real and can not be real.
      • God can not make a square circle because it is not real and can not be.
    • Can God create a rock to heavy for him to lift?
      • The answer to this false dilemma is that a rock to heavy for God to lift is not real and can not be real because this question goes against he essence of that which is true. 
    • Is God then disproven by these perceived limitations of his Godship?
      • God is the essence of truth and all that is real, thus the nature of Godship remains real and true in all that is real and true.  A square circle or too heavy rock are unreal and untrue and do not violate the nature of God.
  • Our mind may not be able to always perceive what is actually true in reality; this does not negate the existence of what is true. When the mind sees a mirage, the mind can be mislead, but this does negate the truth of the natural phenomena in realty which confuses the perception in the mind. Truth still remains.
  • No knowledge is not proof of non-existence. 
    • Did far away planets not exist before they were discovered? 
    • Were cheetahs unable to run over 25 miles per hour before we were able to calculate their speed? 
    • Did 2+2 not equal 4 before number systems were invented? 
    • Can 'A' be 'A' and not be 'A' at the same time and relation before we perceived this logical conclusion? 
    • Truth in reality can exist despite our lack of knowledge of the truth.
  • Does humanity know all there is know in all reality?  Rational truth seekers are compelled to admit that humanity does not know all there is to know in all realty; thus, the possibility of undiscovered existing real truths remains true.
