It was Pilate who said,' what is truth?', one definition puts it like this, 'the quality or state of being true'. a great number of the worlds population, believe lies ,in relation to religion many things that people believe are based on falsehood. We say God can do anything, well not quite, we read in Titus 1 v2, that it is impossible for God to lie, He is a God of truth . We have the Bible the word of God ,it is not full of lies, it is not there to deceive ,it is there to lead us to Him who is the truth ,Jesus. (John 14 v 6 ). As a Christian I must hold fast to the truth, especially if I am a minister that is especially important. Let me say this ,when it comes to theology, there is nothing new, for over 2,000 years the church has established what the truth is as regards salvation, God ,and many other precious doctrines, beware of those who seek to undermine these truths. One man I think we must highlight, N.T. Wright, who is an academic of note, he is having an influence, sad to say, that is far from helpful. his confused thoughts, as regards the substitutionary death of Christ, calling it pagan. He treats with disdain the belief held by every theologian of note that Christians go to heaven when they die, And yet he teaches that the Christian is not justified now ,it will only be, when he gets to heaven. He has written a new perspective on Paul, well as I said there is nothing new under the sun. So again let me remind you that beware of those, who ever they are, who challenge established truth.
