What is Truth

Truth, you may have read the dictionary definition just like everyone else but have you really thought about what is true. If you ask someone to define truth you will get words like...something that is a fact, accepted to be right or correct, etc. While the answers you get mirror the dictionary definition most people do not use it when they receive information. What most tend to do is accept something as truth if it is close to what they already think or does not conflict with how they want to conduct their life. So when for instances subject of global warming is discussed as a fact most accept it as such even though it is just a theory(and not a very good one at that). If you think about it you could come up with many other examples. You see one of the problems with the definition is the "accepted to be right or correct" which would indicate that something is true just because the majority of people believe it to be so. Another problem is that today many theories are being passed off as facts which if you base your knowledge on, you will end up with wrong decisions. The issue comes down too is that truth will not change and it does not matter if it is accepted as right or correct. That which is true remains true whether or not it is accepted as such. In other words whether or not we believe or want something to be true does not change whether it is true or not.
So if something can be changed or is not right in all cases it is not true. Truth is unchanging and eternal or it is not truth. Again what is believed to be true or not does not affect whether it is true or not. The interesting thing is that just over two thousand years ago the Bible tells us that Jesus stated that he was truth and the only way to God. Now whether we choose to believe that he is truth does not change whether it is true or not. So the issue becomes what is the ramification for accepting what he said as truth and allowing that to control our lives compared to rejecting him as a liar and therefore he could not be the way to God. Or you could just reject that there is a God and and conduct your life based on what you believe to be true. The question remains that truth will remain true no matter what we accept as correct therefore the bottom line remains, what is the ramification for being wrong regarding truth. If it is true that you will live for eternity can you really afford to be wrong on whether Jesus is the truth. Better to think about it now rather than regret making a wrong choice for all eternity. The choice is yours and not making a decision is making a choice by default.
