Well wasn't the "truth" in a way, fabricated throughout the centuries? People did not have doctrine, or religion from one day to the next, it was developed throughout the centuries. In order for them to "teach" in church, they need to have something to teach. Do you think the bible just dropped out of the sky one day? Bound and all?
A very strong piece of evidence to support my idea that there is not one truth, is the fact that Christians hardly agree on anything, and Christianity is made up of many different beliefs, doctrines, and points of view.
Of course every single one of these "Denominations" knows they are right because of the Holy Spirit.

Well, you're right and I agree; there could only be 1 truth, hence why it would be the "truth". To further drive my point home, there is not 1 Christianity, there are dozens (not to mention that Christianity has evolved throughout the eras). If God's message was objective, everyone would be on the same page. Last time I checked that is not the case.
If indeed there is one "true" church among all the other "fakes", I can't tell them apart.

When we are fighting the forces of evil, we are also resisting the "old man" (the sin nature) in the power of the Spirit, and with the armor of God. So someone is setting you up with a false teaching about all of this. We don't "look back" when people walk "in the flesh". They simply yield to the flesh.
Romans 7:18 - For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. (NIV)
Romans 7:25 - Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. (NIV)
