Erimitus The mind of God, Antarctica | #1  Jan 08, 2012 @ 05:45:59That which is believed (accepted as true) depends on perspective, and as such is relative. There may not even be such a thing as absolute truth. The theist says the truth is God. The rationalist says that the truth is mind. The empiricist says that truth is scientific laws. What is truth? | ||||||

Electric_Banana Pastel Avon Suburbia, New Zeal | #3 Jan 08, 2012 @ 06:27:17I think the truth might be as stated all along - no one knows anything but maps, sciences, concepts, theories and religions have been fabricated as place holders to keep people from searching for an ultimate truth and getting themselves lost. Then again there is The Law of Attraction thing...but that still doesn't completely explain everything. | |||||||

The only other option is that he was the Son of God, and it's obvious you don't believe that! | ||||||

Well that's only theory for a portion of it - Do exactly like Jesus suggested in the bible to get to God. But then what? | ||||||

He was misquoted by men who wanted to gain control over other men. Your book is flawed, contradictory, mandated by a pagan emperor trying to maintain control of an empire, and ultimately mythology. Get behind me you false prophet satan like person.... you are rebuked. | ||||||

STill wanna know who made god and who made wahtever made god, Truth = not false. Jesus = the Word of God. Bible = the word of God. Yes, if BBT is true then God must have caused it. The definition of God implies that there cn only be one God. | ||||||
