Lie #5

'There is no single truth.  Everyone needs to explore and find 

a truth that works for them.' 

 

 

When people nonchalantly throw out the statement “well I believe there are many religions that are good” 

OR THIS ONE

If their religion works for them then thats great.

OR THIS ONE

All religions are basically the same.

OR THIS ONE

Truth is truth if it works for you. 

OR THIS ONE

You have your truth and I have mine

 

Here is the actual truth regarding these statements…

ridiculous! Absurd and just shy of being so naive that your middle name should be ignorance. Can I be any more clear?

Here is the problem. In the world of Christianity we get a bad rap saying that we are stubborn and pig headed and arrogant believing that our way is the only way. 

But again - ready for that word - the truth is that every religion believes they are the only way.  

 

So here is the flaming statement from captain obvious,

Its impossible for all religions to be true… ready for the really hard truth… its impossible for even 2 of the world religions to be true at the same time. 

 

There can only be 1 truth when it comes to eternity… because the concept of eternity first and foremost screams allegiance to the idea that there is only 1 eternity, created by one God and there is only one way to get to that eternity if in fact there is one. 

 

The fact is truth is exclusive. It belongs to its own club and there are no other members. You cannot have truth with multiple answers and or multiple outcomes. If you believe these statements to be wrong Then it is not truth you are talking about but rather randomness.

 

So if we do have the truth in Christianity - it does not give us the right to bully or yell or belittle anyone. Rather it gives us the courage and peace to share our faith. As C.S. Lewis said “you don’t need to defend a lion, you just need to let him out of his cage”.

The truth will defend itself and is swallowed much easier when given in bite size portions covered in love. 

 

 

and let me add that even those who claim that Christianity is the truth they believe… do they really believe? How many people who call themselves Christians have actually read the bible, actually live up to its truths and actually profess their faith by trying to share the gospel with others (and that honestly is a huge part of really actually, truth be told, no holds barred belief in Christianity) If it is the truth than you should be living it, sharing it daily because that is truth in action. 

 

And finally… if there is only one truth… Christianity calls that truth Jesus. So start there. Get to know the truth and the truth will set you free.
