Truth

What is Truth?
There are many definitions out there for truth. Here are a few factual definitions.
Is truth based on reality?
One writer writes:
Truth is based on empirical evidence, which means truth is based on experiences and observations about the external world. These experiences and observations derive from reality, so the truth comes from reality, yet what is real has substance and exists independently.
The world, today, is so confused on what truth really is. Much of the world believes that truth is whatever is needed to support their ideas, agendas and desires. Much of science has become an art, the art of calling theories (presumptions) facts.
How can we have different truths on the same matters? Who defines what truth really is? The government? Science? Universities? Religions?
There is only One Truth! All other truths are based in Him. He created government, science, Learning, and religion. He created the heavens and the earth. His breath was breathed into us to have relationship with Him and accept Him as our one supreme Truth.
It has become very difficult for mankind to discern the truth as they are being bombarded with falsehoods through news outlets, social media and centers of learning. They are attempting to pick through all that they hear and see and accept what feels right to them.
If you are unsure if something is true or false, let the Spirit guide you in God’s word. He will show you the truths of the ages, which were in the beginning, are now, and evermore will be.
Do not be deceived. Christ Himself showed the true source of all falsehoods and lies. He continually warned of Satan misleading with not just outright lies, but subtle mistruths and misdirections to fool us into believing what our desires want us to believe.
Always verify with the One Truth found in the Godhead.
Isaiah 68:15b-16 but his servants he will call by another name,
16 so that he who blesses himself in the land
shall bless himself by the God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
shall swear by the God of truth;
because the former troubles are forgotten
and are hidden from my eyes.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
And if we know the Truth, we must Speak the Truth.That should be our focus in life. People need to hear the truth.

2 Timothy 4:3-4. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
