Absolute Truth

"Absolute truth" is defined as inflexible reality: fixed, invariable, unalterable facts. For example, it is a fixed, invariable, unalterable fact that there are absolutely no square circles and there are absolutely no round squares.

What do you believe? How has our secular, confused, and crazy world changed your life. Do you even believe in absolute truth?

Murder is wrong, in any instance at anytime no matter what. Now if you agree with that simple statement is it a stretch to say all life is sacred? So if all life is sacred then how can we sit back and condone abortion, and if you believe in absolute truth you don't get to make exceptions. I can't say all life is sacred except that one. You see the dilemma.
We all agree that stealing is wrong. Are there circumstances th
at push us into situations where stealing is right? You see that would mean that the statement stealing is wrong is actually not true.

What about marriage, hundreds of years ago it was a sacred one time thing. People married for life. Divorce was unheard of, and adultry was considered wrong. Do you believe that it is wrong to commit adultery? Or is it another one of those it just all depends on the situation.

We live in a world governed by individuals who believe they can put a spin on any situation to change our views. They will try to paint murder, theft, and adultery in a good light. They will present you with moral dilemmas and exceptions and ask you to forsake the rules. Slowly over time they will feed you there ideals until you too are willing to bend the truth.

And as we bend the truth; we lose sight of it. We step back from it, and we walk in darkness. T
he bible speaks of this verse upon verse.
Psalm 82:5
"They know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Ecclesiastes 2: 12-16
12 Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom,
and also madness and folly.
What more can the king's successor do
than what has already been done?

13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly,
just as light is better than darkness.

14 The wise man has eyes in his head,
while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.

15 Then I thought in my heart,
"The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?"
I said in my heart,
"This too is meaningless."

16 For the wise man, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
in days to come both will be forgotten.
Like the fool, the wise man too must die!


So here is some absolute truth for you: We all die someday. Whether it be at the hands of a doctor who performs an abortion and a mother who doesn't want us, we still die. Maybe it is defending a possession that we cannot bear to have stolen, and the thief kills us, yet again dead. It could be a stoning for the crime of adultery, or slowly wasting away in guilt knowing what we have done. Some of us will lead happy long lives only to be overtaken by cancer.

EVERYONE DIES

So you can look at absolute truth and decide to turn away, but beware my friend:

Ephesians 4:18

They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

He gave you the choice, he lets you decide what will you choose?
