What is Truth?

By
At some point almost every person will look at their life and ask some questions. The three most basic are why are we here, where did we come from and what happens when we die?

There is only one truth that governs these and all questions that might arise regarding the infinite expanse of space and all of eternity. It is not subject to change or manipulation try as some may to do it. It is not a person's opinion or changed by a philosophers deduction. Yet some obvious conclusions can be seen in our existence. Either God has revealed it or he hasn't. It isn't something that is confirmed by speculation, yet we will do some speculating in our search for answers. It is not determined by a person's convictions, yet we will have convictions about what we think it is.

Truth is the knowledge of things, the existence of things, past present and future. It is absolute reality and is not controvertible. It is the unchanging realities whether seen or not. It is the laws of the universe and the government of heaven whether viewed by mortals or not. Truth is not created. It exists of its own accord. In the spiritual sense some call the truth God and God must be a being of and according to the truth. God calls himself a God of truth. There is only one true God. What and who he is does not change. It is eternally true and unchanging. The many and variant beliefs of who and what God is cannot all be true. Either he has revealed himself or he hasn't.

Discussion With Grok AI; The Problem With the Concept of Creation out of Nothing or "Ex Nihilo", and Free Will Doctrines,

By
Discussion with AI:   The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Traditional Theological Teachings Charlie Catholics and Protestants claim that God, i.e. the Trinity   created matter out of nothing and then created the Earth and everything else. This is known as creation ex nihilo. If God is truly all knowing and all powerful and created in this manner, there is nothing it can create that it would not already know the beginning from the end.   Such power would indicate that any creation would be whimsical because it would be unnecessary. There’s nothing God could create if it was truly omniscient as thought in traditional theology that would be meaningful.  Any act of creation would be unnecessary. Such acts therefore would be whimsical in nature by such a being since they are being done one time only according to biblical scholars and theologians. Grok AI These are deep theological and philosophical questions about the nature of God, creation, and purp...

The Principle of Grace-Latter-day Saints compared to Orthodox Biblical Teachings

By
Many modern Christian teachers and theologians claim a doctrine of salvation by grace that disregards any effort on the part of the person to be saved.  The discussion often involves the concept of faith without works being dead and yet any works that do happen to come about as a result of our faith have no bearing on our salvation.   Latter-day Saints do hold to doctrines of grace.  There is no action or series of actions we can perform on our own that will save us from our sins without the atonement of Jesus Christ. Salvation is therefore only by his grace and its accompanying virtue of mercy. The acts of making and keeping covenants with ordinances to confirm them are gifts of God's love. Faith in Jesus Christ saves us. Our willingness to enter into a covenant relationship with the Father and the Son is the evidence of our faith. If God tells us, or even commands us to do something, what is the effect? Consider the following example. We have been given an abundanc...

Evangelical Biblical Apologetics Against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

By
Modern Evangelicals and other "Mainstream Christians" have many apologists among their ranks. For millennia they have defended the church against heretics, agnostics, and atheists. Biblical apologists, however, devised new tactics when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Joseph Smith came on the scene in the 1820s.  The main goal of these “mainstream Christian”apologists is to discredit Joseph Smith in any way they can. The earliest apologists defended basic belief in God and Christianity against agnostics and atheists to divert their attacks in order to protect the church against claims and allegations that might destroy the faith of the weaker believers.  As the Christian faith aged along, heresies also developed within the ranks of those claiming authority or scholarship, and likewise had to be rooted out.  It has been some 200 years now since Joseph Smith made his first claims as a young man proclaimed to have seen the Father and the Son in a vision. ...
