Jesus taught that the word of God is truth. He even said that He was the truth! By definition, truth excludes all other competing thoughts as erroneous. However for today’s post-modern, post-Christian, progressive man or woman, “truth” is relative for virtually everything including ethics, religion and morality. To honor this untenable concept, our present day world is mired in a bog of culturally correct speak so as not to offend anyone. If the Bible were written to reflect such relativity in “truth,” how would it read?
“You shall have no other gods before Me. Now if you have grown up with gods other than Me, and they are near and dear to you, well, it’s okay to hang onto them. Just be sure that they don’t take too much of your time and money.”
“Unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins. If you believe in someone else, however, that will suffice since all faiths lead to heaven (or wherever you believe you go when you die.) Of course, dying in sins is only for those who believe in such a thing as sin because some of you find the idea upsetting. So just try to be good (whatever that is for you ) and everything will turn out all right.”
“Love one another. Admittedly, this is difficult to do with certain people, especially those who have hurt you or are very different from you. So if you don’t feel like loving those folks, don’t worry about it. After all, love means different things to different people. Just be sure to follow the meaning that’s in your heart.”
“Abstain from sexual immorality. This is decidedly a great challenge because of the proliferation of sexually explicit material across all media. Additionally, defining sexual immorality is a thorny issue (in fact, some of you don’t believe there is such a thing). So the whole thrust of this is to do what you feel good about doing sexually, and be sure to practice “safe sex” whatever that is.”
Are you kidding me?! No wonder the world is in such a mess. “Buy truth, and do not sell it...” - Proverbs 23:23
