Truth... What is truth??

A group called the Pew Research Center conducts regular surveys of American people on many topics, including religion. One of their studies was published in USA Today which revealed, “78 percent overall say there are 'absolute standards of right and wrong,' but only 29 percent rely on their religion to delineate these standards.” That was almost fifteen years ago. Since That research in 2009 things have gotten much worse as religious involvement and commitment have declined to levels never seen before in this country. Today, fewer people belief in the concept of absolute truth or that some things are always right or wrong. Even more believe they can make that decision for themselves.

What exactly does this apply to..

Here's 2 examples

1) Doctor Assisted Suicide (Eugenics) other terms to look for (• Ableism – Discrimination against disabled people• Biological determinism – Theory of genetic influence

• Culling – Process of segregating organisms in biology) And they don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it. This included abortion and end of life for elderly or for children who are born with disabilities!

2) Removing your parental rights.. sometimes for things like making decisions on your child getting puberty blockers, or sex change surgeries without your permission.. Think about that.. Schools, Doctors etc acting against your wishes with the body of your child. Yet you're expected to fund it and then raise the child while they played God altering that child chemically or medically.. And it's been proven there are often times permanent regrets when made by a child on these topics.. there are children who can't smoke or drink because they are too young to reasonably make those choices.. but them same children are being allowed to make decisions to alter their bodies permanently and irrevocably!

Legally there are laws against these things.. But now a days people think there's no real right or wrong about these things. they think it's ambiguous or morally changeable due to the situation..

1)Here are graphics proving people really support Eugenics..

2) Graphics proving there's support out there for this issue!

There is such a thing as right and wrong!

Pilot asked Jesus the same question..

35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Pilot wondered if there was any such thing as truth..

We know that JESUS is the way, Jesus is the truth.. and it also therefor makes sense that Jesus tells us what is truth..

Jesus hates the senseless waste of life..

Jesus created us all.. Did he err?

It's pretty presumptuous of us to tell the creator who deserves to live and who deserves to die.. OR WORSE.. To take that life without a cause!

What does the Bible say?

1. Exodus 23:7 Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.

2. Deuteronomy 27:25 “Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”

3. Proverbs 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

4. Psalm 94:21 The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

5. Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.

6. Leviticus 24:19-22 Whoever injures a neighbor must receive the same injury in return a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whoever injures another person must receive the same injury in return. Whoever kills an animal must replace it. Whoever kills a person must be put to death. The same rule applies to every one of you. It makes no difference whether you are a foreigner or an Israelite, because I am the Lord your God.”

7. Matthew 5:21-22 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.

8. Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

You must decide if God is truth.. If he is.. then his word needs to be the authority..

It is no surprise that people are eager to accept philosophies and religious doctrine that allow them to determine what is right and wrong. Satan has been successfully selling the lie that we can do that ever since the Garden of Eden. It appeals to our sinful natures to be the determining force in moral issues. But because of those sinful natures, every time we choose for ourselves, we choose wrongly. Even if we wanted to choose rightly and walk rightly, we do not have the power to do so in ourselves. Paul wrote, “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not” (Romans 7:18). Thankfully, we have a reliable, infallible source for truth in the Word of God.
