Everybody's Truth

"What is truth?" retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him. John 18:38

I was challenged recently and I backpedaled or deleted some lines I posted.  It is a political year and facts and figures flow freely and much challenging and truth checking of statements. All of the democratic nominees in the last debate were given Pinocchios when fact-checked. I guess that doesn't hold very well for your truth and my truth especially when they differ. If you're a leftist you go to your leftist site for truth and if on the right you go to a right-leaning site for truth. So is it really truth? A major TV preacher some years back describes his home as a 2 bedroom cabin. That two-bedroom cabin was 6,000 square feet.  A two-bedroom probably fits the definition of small to fit the cabin wording, but the 6,000 square feet is 3 times larger than anything I have lived in myself. I am not sure I have ever been in a house as large as 6,000 square feet. So what is truth? Is that acceptable to describe his 6,000 square foot two-bedroom as a cabin? Where do we or should we go for an answer to the truth?  Global warming advocates leave out some years of weather to support their stats. Is the standard for truth different for you and for me? When we talk about your truth and my truth and we disagree then who's truth is truth?  I am not going to attempt to answer this question today. Even in Christians circles, we have disagreements on truth. So should we have a standard for truth? Where would this standard for truth be kept, who is the arbitrator of this truth? Is it the Democratic party and if so why?  Is it the Republican party and if so why? Whichever way you go, you will have a lot of people disagreeing with you. I think the truth is important and in a court of law, we swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.  Why do we invoke God's help at the end of that statement? Is God the final authority for truth? Truth must be important, in the news today Roger Stone was recommended for 9 years in prison for lying to congress, while others noted rapist robbers and others get half that or less.  Lying to congress? How many in congress have lied to us the American public? Here in  Mississippi, a few years ago a 7-year-old girl was run over by a vehicle and killed when she stepped off the bus. The exit door on the bus is on the curbside. The bus was next to the curb. The front door of her house was less than 50 feet away. The school bus stop sign was out. The school bus red lights were flashing. The woman that ran over and killed this child was never charged with a crime. There seem to be different standards for truth and justice. What is truth? What is justice? I think we need a standard that is the same for everybody. God bless, LVZ.

I don't know how I made that mistake but I was talking Roger Stone and wrote John Solomon. John Solomon may have written the article I read, he is a reporter. I don't really know how I did that. I can' t even find the article where I could have made that mistake, by substituting names. thanks,  I did a short search but just a mistake, after the fact I can't always duplicate my mistake.
