John 14:6
I AM Truth
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 17:1-5
Eternal Life is Knowing Jesus and His Father
1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you,the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
John 18:28-38
What is Truth
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
John 8:31-32
The Truth Shall Set You Free
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
1 Peter 2:22
Jesus Never Sinned
22 "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
I think it is very unusual to think or a person or a Person as Truth...One normally things of truth as a set of facts, or some fact that is true -when we think of truth...One can think of truth as the facts that are in accordance to reality and the real world as truth...And according to reality, several thousand years ago, man thought and in his thinking thought the world was flat...The world was flat was a fact, many years ago...It was a man made truth, that the world was flat...This was a fact and the truth about the shape of the world...And we normally do not think of men and women as being truth...So can a Man be Truth?...For a Man to be Truth He could never tell a lie or ever sin...Somehow He could not change...Very unusually in one of His statements, Jesus stood up two thousand years ago and told His Disciples that He is Truth...Pilate asks Him the question about what is Truth...He told Pilate that the very reason He was born and came into this world is to testify to the Truth...Everyone on the side of Truth listens to Jesus...Jesus tells us that eternal life is knowing the only True God and the One He sent to earth...And when we know He is Truth, and that Him and His Father are eternal life -then these facts of Truth will set us free...
If the skeptic is right and there is no God, then there is no Absolute Truth...Truth then is all man made...A flat world today can turn into a round one years later...We can update our man made truths...And if the skeptics are right, and there is no eternal life, then there is no God and He has no Son...There is no life after death, if there is no Father and Son...There is no heaven, if God does not exist...There is no purpose in life, if there is no Unchanging Truth, a Truth that will never change...There is no meaning in life, if the Truth is always changing...The Absolute Truth must be the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow...If truth is just personal and man made, then what I think today is truth, can change and I can believe something else tomorrow as truth, as my life changes and moves on...Change and time seem to cause man old made truths to change...So a truth in man's eyes can be different today than it was two thousand years ago...And my truth may not be another's truth even today if truth is only man made...How I see truth and something today, is not always how others see truth and the same thing...Truth cannot be man made for it to be Truth...There can only be One Absolute Truth...Each man sees things a little differently...There can be a contradiction in non-absolute truth...Man can have contradictions in his truth even as we question each other...Man can see a same event at the same time today, and we get different stories on what we all have seen from the same event...In this multiplicity of man and how we think, maybe is why we often miss the unchanging Father and His Son...We try for different reasons to see and can see many truths instead of belief in an Absolute and One and Only Truth...But in Absolute Truth there is no contradiction...God is the Absolute Objective Standard for Truth...Maybe until we are able to to only see that there is Only One non-contradictory and Absolute Truth are we able to see God...
