Article 01 by Hannah Orion
A Christian, A good Christian holds truth above all other qualities. After all, the only words Jesus spoke in His own defence to Pontius Pilate was “I seek the Truth”. We are all to seek truth. It is because of this spirit in us to seek TRUTH that we, good Christians, have developed science. Science is nothing more than a method of filtering misconceptions out of our body of knowledge. Our knowledge therefore becomes TRUTH until proven otherwise, in which case we good Christians reserve the right to change our mind. Knowledge and scientific truths however, some think, have turned against us. Our own sword of knowledge is threatening to disillusion us by denouncing the existence of God. Of course such a generalization is far off the mark. The search for truth and truth itself does not deny God. On the contrary truth fulfils the person. This is because it is impossible to be honest unless one is first truthful and one cannot be sincere unless one is first honest. These three qualities TRUTH, HONESTY and SINCERITY are the foundation of a good Christian. So a Christian, a good Christian esteems truth above all other qualities. There is no other way to be a good representative of the Lord than to first be truthful. To deny truth even scientific ones is to deny the God of Truth. God is Truth and the search for truth will lead to the knowledge of God. This is why Jesus said “I seek the truth” in His own defence. When He could have said anything else He simply said “I seek the truth”. We know in our hearts that what is written is truthful. We know in our hearts that civilizations throughout all history have always strived to discover truth in all things. We, good Christians will not be deceived easily or for very long because there is a spirit within us to seek truth. The spirit of truth dwells within the hearts of men and women. It makes its presence known on a daily basis. Whenever one would try to fool us we become suspicious as our senses are sharpened to truth. Even when truth presents us with problems we continue to trust in the sense. The spirit of truth within us gives us no rest until we solve the quandary confronting us. It has come to the attention of many people in the world that Darwin’s theory of evolution confronts us with truth which appears to hold a blatant disregard for the writings of the Holy Bible – both Old and New Testaments. This problem is dealt with in Secular Truthfulness a book about seeking out truth.
