What is Truth?
Read main passage:
Lots of people have that same question: What is truth?
Won’t word it that way.
More like…
Can we know what is true?
What makes one religion invalid?
Define Epistemology
noun: epistemology
the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope.
Epistemology is the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.
Justified beliefs vs opinions
One truth
Illustration: Truth through facts
Can I trust what I'm seeing?
Trust my senses?
Directly affects how we view the world - shapes our worldview
Truth Is Ignored
Let’s address Science...
Most people would lean towards measurable things being true and claim everything else is just speculation and cannot be known
Examples of the Bible and Science lining up (briefly)
“Oh cool, so I should say to their face that they won’t believe because they’re dad is the devil”
No.
No.
In context, Jesus was saying this to religious Jews.
The average person you’re going to come across would not understand this and be negatively offended
People want to be lied to because they’ll only hear what they want to hear
Some truths are offensive
Define Theology
Theology cannot be proven (cannot use Scientific Method)
If it cannot be proven, can it still be true?
Absolutely it can be true!
Illustration?
Deceitfulness of the Heart
A wrong way to create a Theology is to do so by experiences
Our thoughts and emotions betray us - can be manipulated
Illustration?
Our Theology AND our Epistemology should be built on the Word of God
God gave us the Bible as a sturdy, constant, unchanging foundation for truths about our sturdy, constant and unchanging God
Our God doesn’t need to prove Himself for you to believe in Him
God demands faith
Draw conclusions (faith based living in truth)
