The American Declaration of Independence reads,' We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,including life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness', Yes truth is important,in fact it is very important,if something is not true it becomes a lie, and who wants to believe a lie?, no one. It is not something that should be overlooked, at a inconvenient time,or because we don't agree with it.In Psalm 119 v 160 we read,'The very essence of your word is truth',in other words it is completely true,there are those who say the Bible contains the Word of God,this is an erroneous statement,it is the Word of God,from Genesis to Revelation. There are many who call themselves Christians, reject certain truths,by saying oh that is Paul speaking,and others shun the OT, and only accept the NT.. In 2 Timothy 3 v16 we read,'All Scripture is God breathed', all means all,we deny this at our cost. I leave you with these words by E.J.Young.
'The triune God did actually speak to human beings,He conveyed to them the truth in a form in which they could receive it. He spoke to them in words and they, His creatures , created in His image, could receive and understand those words. Christianity is a revelation of the one living and true God. The Bible is not merely a witness of some nebulous'Word of God; the Bible is the word of God. It is not only a pointer to revelation; it is revelation.
