John 18:33-38 ESV – So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose, I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world – to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
John 8:31, 32 ESV – So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Promise of Tolerance!
Feeling of Humility!
Romans 1:19, 20 ESV – For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Personal Freedom!
For myself, as no doubt for most of my friends, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom. – Aldous Huxley
It is not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried. – G.K. Chesterton
Trusting God Matters!
Psalm 86:11 ESV – Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.
Relationships Matter!
Proverbs 20:23 ESV – The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please Him.
“By using words like should and ought, you betray your alleged conviction that truth is relative. True relativists would argue that there are no external standards to which my grading must conform. If my truth and my ethic lead me to an alternate grading system, c’est la vie! I will grade however I wish.” – Dr. Roger Wengert
