If you are speaking to me absoluely not, I have no argument at all, but I was having a little fun with him at the start since his wording was not clear.

What is yours new soldier? ;)

No not to you but to the OP. Stating an OP that way seems, too me, a way of looking for an argument. Or at least a way to get others to argue.

My truth? "In the beginingvwas the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.". I guess that could be my truth summed up in John 1:1

Sprry for that.

That is why I was being playful with him, his OP's are often unclear as I felt this one was and so I was egging him on to get him to be clearer but he will just make fun of your efforts lol

Which I am fine with myself.

Sounds good to me there, welcome to the forum by the way, God bless you

It is a shame. We should be joining together as brothers and sisters of Christ studying Gods Word but all I see is arguments or narrow minded threads with no real meaning besides an argument. Or we should be ministering to those who dont know Jesus as Lord and Savior. But nope! We argue over things that have no impact on our salvation.

What do you consider truth? Is the Bible truth? Is truth based on what you have been told? Is truth based on science alone? Is truth relative? A Christian would see truth from a Biblical standpoint. A non Christian would see truth from a different perspective.

So basically you stated the OP from an argumentive standpoint so truth could be argued. Do you want to argue truth or do you want to know truth?

Keyboard warriors? i believe that's the term. The anonymity gives people entitlement. And then there are the alliances, and the us and the them.... Makes one really appreciate that Jesus would die for the likes of us.

That is part of the problem..."us verse them". Who is "them"? Protestant vs. Baptist? Reformed vs. Non reformed? Those are the divisions i see. Or is it not us vs. them but spreading the Word of God? If we see that as an us vs. them then we are looming at this the wrong way.

Even worse if we see it as God vs. satan then we have a real problem as there is no contest between God and satan.

judgement is something you miss. if you seek truth.

Matthew 7: Judging Others
1 "Judge not, that you be not judged.2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 "Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.

the contest, is with self.

when did we write , or win wars in the spiritual, without gods protection.

in worldly or spiritual thoughts.

without unity of self, then you will already,miss truth.

define truth.

for example
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."John 8:

set you, free from what, so would a lie, be in the way of freedom.

to give meaning to what truth is.

that s the point, could be argued, if you don t know, what the meaning of truth is. and what it sets you free from

Pro 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.


Everybody views reality in their own way,but if it is not the truth of the Bible,it is fantasy,which some people mix their fantasy with the Bible,and interpret the Bible according to their fantasy,that they think is reality,and then there is weird interpretations of the Bible that is based on people's fantasy,that they think is reality.

death has been conquered.

is truth, part of believing in god through jesus christ.

would opinion differ.
has it or has it not been conquered. (death)

so one ,would be classed as a lie, the other being truth or true. etc

Some people will deny that there is such a thing as truth. They will lead you to believe that there are multiple truths, and believing in the words of Jesus Christ isn’t necessarily the best thing to do (according to them). This way they can justify anything they do and make themselves popular by always telling people what they want to hear.

what dose this have to do with what others think.
do you have free will, your own mind to find your own, idea of truth.

the point, you have your own walk of faith. and if you have the holy spirit, then you will never be alone.
