Truth comes by revelation. That is why we have this ecumenical movement going on with all the religions of the world thinking that Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus etc. can all join hands in the name of World Peace. Maybe they should invite the Church of Satan also because there is now such a church in existence. Who knows how much membership they now have?
No amount of study can bring us to the truth. There is a passage in the Bible that says: "ever learning but never arriving at a knowledge of the truth.." That's referring to the religious scholars of that time. And we have them also in this present generation.
The Apostle Paul is a classic example. He was a master of the Scriptures. Probably a double Phd on that one subject he would lay his life for. But he never had a clue that Jesus was the Christ until the Lord revealed himself. How could Paul have missed it? As the Lord himself said: "All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." Luk 10:22
Peter also in one instance said: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. Mat 16:16-17
And so it is not astonishing to find aged Priests who still play cards in philosophy class and proposing: "Truth is relative!" The other players can only guess which cards he is holding. The card he is holding is what is true to him. And the same principle applies to the rest of the participants. So they confidently conclude that truth is circumstantial. And so they can hold hands and live happily ever after because what is true to a Muslim is not necessarily affected by what is true to a Christian. A very plausible proposition especially when the goal is World Peace & Security!
Wise men they are. Little do they know of the Holy Spirit who can show them things that are yet to come.
