When I clearly cleave to clever contortions, twisting truth to fit false imitations of what is truly truth, I eventually come to realize my failings. The more I contort, the more probable my error and my evolution of truth becomes. It is clarity I seek. The simple, evident and persistent existence of truth; not some contortion of truth, but the absolute, inarguable, innate, inseparable, invaluable truth; which some believe to be nonexistent.
How do you clearly find truth? Can absolute truth be relegated to some human contortion? Or do you even believe such absolute truth exists? Where would such absolute truth be found? How would you know if you found "it"?
Relative truth, the truth that each of us 'manufactures' from our understanding floods the world today. What is okay for one has become the premise or acceptable as a way of life for all. Tolerance, has become intolerance for if someone speaks of Godly truth, or some absolute truth, such has become intolerable. Conformity to a single truth or righteous, Godly truth has been removed from the realm of 'tolerance'.
It seems that a majority of people shun external 'imposition' of morality based on a Godly perspective. Why? Could it be the 'nature' that has been placed in us, created in 'the image of God' which compels us to actually believe we ourselves are god? If such godly goodness within us is 'real', why are we surrounded by and barraged by such unsettling 'evil' or disaster? Have we developed a 'blindness' to corruption and loss of personal integrity? Have we become acceptors of sin and wayward living in such a way that we 'allow' it to overtake us? Is there an answer for all the difficulty that surrounds us?
If one does not believe in absolute truth, how is that working for us? Is our world actually getting better? Is there great improvement in the goodness and godness of man? Are we actually heading toward an Utopian society with peace and goodness reigning because of our fully innate and complete goodness?
I am seeking clarity. I want to see and know the truth. I do believe that many have good intentions, good integrity and good will; I just don't see it evident in the larger community. I have determined to make it my own personal striving to discover absolute truth, and hope that my 'musings' here uncover that which is truth. It is bane to state that I live and breathe absolute truth. It is a struggle I face daily, even moment to moment. Yet, I want to bless my friends, be an encouragement, real encouragement as a man of integrity, looked upon as one of humility and service; living such a life that those who know me see that there is a way to absolute truth and that is sweet in it's attainment, lived out in a way that oozes grace, mercy and love to a world in angst.
Give me clarity to see, all that You have created me to be. Yes, God, I do believe in Your absolute truth, and desire to live in such a manner that those around me would see the fullness of You, and who you really are, as I have come to know You.
It is time for clarity. It is time for grace. It is time to live as people of integrity, standing in truth; absolute truth.
Okay, I am not a scholar, far from it but I am very clear and confident that God did create us and the earth we live in. I'm sure Bob you know this guys name, I can't remember it but it was in the news this week, they claim he is the smartest man alive. He has ALS and can't speak anymore but he came out and said he didn't need God anymore, he knew God didn't create humans or the earth! I almost blew a gaskit! Supposedly ALS doesn't effect the brain but I think in this case it has. My faith came thru strong and I can't for the life of me figure out how you can be so mushy-mushy about God!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving us the oppunity to speak out.
