Truth comes by revelation

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.

Transcribing Kathryn Kuhlman

 "It means something to be a Christian. It means something to be born again. It’s something more than just shedding of your tears. It’s much more than just kneeling down and saying a prayer. This thing of being a Christian is a life; it’s an experience; it’s a day-by-day proposition. And you haven’t really learned how to live; you have no real purpose in life; there is no real purpose for you in living; until you have been born again." "It cost everything. If you really want to know the price; if you really want to know the price, I’ll tell you. It’d cost you everything. Kathryn Kuhlman died a long time ago. I know the day, I know the hour, I can go to the spot where Kathryn Kuhlman died. But you see for me it was easy; because I had nothing." "You can only know His perfect will, and He'll only make intercession for you before the Father's throne, seeking the will of God on your behalf, when you get to a place where you have no will of your own.

Imagine Acts 1:9-11

And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven." ESV (Act 1:9-11) The story is all too familiar to most people, and to them it remains to be just a story. But these things really took place. It’s not a recent event. But an event 1 hour ago is no different from an event 2 hours ago or even 2000 years ago. They all took place during the course of time. Imagine that these things took place just yesterday. And you were there. Jesus rose from the dead and then He ascended up in the clouds, and then there are these two guys who tell you, Jesus is coming back in the same manner that you saw Him go up. Get a hold of the reality of that event. ...

Looking At The Big Picture

By looking at Creation from a bird's eye view, perhaps we can have a hint and understand better the work which God has created. In the beginning God said, Let us make man according to our image. (Gen 1:27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And throughout the Bible, looking from a macro level, we can see that the purpose of God for man was not changed. God has it in His heart to make us like Him. And the things that has happened in the past and those that are happening now and will still happen in the future all add up to that end. But we cannot really say that God has authored everything that takes place because even right now, we know we are free to do whatever we want, and we know that we do it by ourselves only and not by some controlling force from the outside. We can be persuaded and moved by some external forces, but still the decision to act is solely attributed to the individual. God has foreknowle...
