And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32)
What is the truth?
A simple question, but yet has been the root and question of philosophy for thousands of years. I think this scripture has duel meanings. The first that comes to my mind is Christ is the truth and Christ shall free you from sin which is super, super important but that is not what I am going to talk about.
I believe truth is eternal, unchanging, not relative. "Truth is truth and does not vary dependent upon what mankind wants it to believe." I believe truth is a knowledge of how things really are, how they really were, and how they will really be.
Hundreds of years ago the majority of people thought the Earth was flat like a pancake, but in reality regardless what they thought the Earth was indeed round.
Have you ever told somebody the truth maybe friends, parents, a significant other and have them not believe you? Even though you knew without a doubt in your mind it was true they still would not listen? This makes things very difficult and frustrating.
In the amazing and historical American document The Declaration of Independence it is written.. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Could those truths be described any better? I think not

What do you think is truth?
How can we use this new found (not really new but natural) knowledge to help society?
