this question.
Pilate asked this of Jesus at His trial--in a mocking way I might add.
So, what is truth? Is there a thing such as truth? How do we 'know?'I look forward to your thoughts!
In Christ,

Truth is that which is perfect in the LORD's eyes.
This is related to truthful which is something that is filled with
things that are perfect in the LORD's eyes.
That which is truthful is holy in the LORD's eyes.
This is why the Bible is holy as HIS written Word and why the LORD is
the truth as GOD's living Word.
This is also why a discerning heart, which is the ability to discern
truth, can come only from the LORD as a spiritual gift. King Solomon
received a discerning heart only after asking for it through prayer to
GOD.
May the arrows from the LORD's conqueror pierce many hearts, to conquer
them and make them all discerning, in Jesus' most precious and holy
name :-))
Amen.
Now this is about the works of the four riders on horseback from the
6th chapter of the Book of Revelation (we are now in the 6th year into
the third millenium after the birth of the Son of Man)
(1) Crowned rider wielding a bow and riding a white horse:
"See you on the other side. It's not bad. We are just going to
sleep." - missive (missile) from one of 12 born-again Christian miners
who gave up their lives to save the youngest among them after being
trapped by an explosion in a W.Va mine.
(2) Rider wielding a sword and riding a fiery red horse:
Ariel Sharon, the world's hope for lasting peace in the middle east,
suffers a massive bleeding stroke. Violence and bloodshed in Iraq
escalates. U.S. now less likely to pull out of Iraq anytime soon.
(3) Rider wielding a set of food scales and riding a black horse:
The rate of increase of the number of people worldwide using the
2PD-OMER Approach (which advocates the use of food scales) accelerates
with growing worldwide concerns about the obesity epidemic:

Meanwhile, those like Bob Pastorio who refuse to use this Approach are
heard muttering that an omer is not a weight measure but a volume
measure somewhere between one and three quarts depending on what the
food is and that liquid foods like milk (emulsified oil) and wine
should not be counted toward daily intake.
(4) Rider on a pale horse given the authority to kill a fourth of the
world's population "by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts
of the earth":
The H5N1 Avian Flu Pandemic is here:
Yes, the migratory birds spreading H5N1 virus are wild beasts of the
earth.
Would be more than happy to "glow" and chat about this and other things
like cardiology, diabetes and nutrition that interest those following
this thread here during the next on-line chat (01/19/06) from 6 to 7 pm
EST:
For those who are put off by the signature, my advance apologies for
how the LORD has reshaped me:
Prayerfully in Christ's love,
Andrew
