For Which Truth?

They built their own god, the men made of clay;
Gave him attributes they admired the most;
Making sure he'd let them have their own way,
No matter what, and no matter the cost.
A clone of god was planted in each man,
To tell him what he ought, and ought not do;
That man's desires he must never amend,
And no sin or guilt to him could accrue.
Truth was disallowed ever to exist,
The opinion of each was set in stone,
Though unlike views were true and did subsist;
All must 'feel good'; neither is ever wrong.
If men created god, would all be deceived,
For which truth, god's or God's, must be believed?

God is the source of all truth. When science learns everything there is to learn about the world, it will coincide with God's truth of how it was made. Philosophy is hardly bound by the methods of science, and it changes from one great delusion for the next, for it is the product of men's thoughts devoid of the truths of the Bible. At this time, the world's dominating philosophy is postmodernism, the belief that truth is relative to the thoughts of each thinker. It is unfashionable for a person to make an unequivocal statement of truth, yet for a believer in Jesus Christ, who is grounded in the knowledge that everything in the Bible is true, it is difficult for him to accept conflicting statements as both being true.

Sigmund Freud is very influential in psychological therapy, which seems to be the main thought today---let all people conduct themselves as they think proper; there is no single 'best' way of acting, if every person is to be mentally and emotionally healthy. It is more popular to make statements that can be construed ecumenically than to make statements of absolute truth. For example, John 14:6 states that the only way for any person to be 'saved'---that is, to be resurrected after death and spend eternity in heaven with God---is through Jesus. That is a true statement of fact with no exceptions. To the postmodernist, however, all religious roads lead to heaven. Modern society, more and more, points to the Bible as too dogmatic and the cause of much mental disease that stems from guilt feelings.

However, believers find true happiness and no mental disease in following the teachings of Jesus. Heaven for us begins right here on earth, plus we have faith in the promises of the Bible for an afterlife that will be unimaginably better than this one. The Bible doesn't cause mental distress except for those persons who refuse to read it and follow Jesus in loving others.

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." (Proverbs 16:25)

Please don't fall for the lie. It will not solve this life's problems, and will lead to disaster in the hereafter. It is a lie of Satan intended to keep you from Jesus Christ.
