What is Truth? | John

8/14/2022
What is TRUTH? It is a question that Pontius Pilate asked Jesus before His crucifixion, and it is a question people are still asking today. There is great confusion in our world about truth. You will hear people say, “My truth vs. your truth” and “Truth is relative-it depends on the person and the situation,” but in response to Pilate’s question, Jesus said, “…For this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” (John 18:37). For us to understand truth in a relative world, we must rely on God and His Word (the Bible) as the source and standard by which we evaluate what is true and what is false. In today’s teaching, Pastor Gary discusses some of the false narrative that the culture is presenting as truth and gives a Biblical perspective on the topic of truth from John 8.

Paying his Bible studies on Facebook for the enlightenment of non-believers and the spiritual growth of believers. I thank God for Pastor Gary, His love of Jesus, his knowledge of God’s word, his zeal to help Christians grow in their knowledge of scripture, and to share Jesus with the lost, that they, too, may come to Jesus and receive God’s gift of eternal life…bought and paid for us by Jesus’ shed blood, death on the cross of Calvary that redeem d us from our sins. He was resurrected from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God our Father. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Amen and Amen!!

Preaching facts 💯❤

[@Brad-gk9jd]

Truth is absolute!

[@axisofbeginning]

Under the opinion that facts can, may, and do change, then beneath the reasoning of mathematics, 1 + 1 = 2 demonstrates the existence of absolute truth. So, under this premise, one can say facts change and truth is constant.

[@charleefaucher7083]

I love your studies of the Bible and find them very enlightening thank you

[@douglasstewart518]

Holy moly!! Thank God!! I'm not going crazy!!!!

[@RandyKleine45150]

We watch Pastor G's wonderful Bible teaching from Cincinnati, Ohio, almost every day. Pastor G gives his all, and the non-response of his congregation is so typical of upwardly-mobile people. My wife and I were at a concert with a similar dead-pan audience where we spoke to the very spirited and talented female singer during a break (she needed a rest!) Looking around, I commented "There's too many White people here." Praise the Lord, SOMEBODY, and shout "Amen!"

[@SBassett1944]

First, let me say Pastor Gary, your teaching on this is wonderful. Thank you. I agree with you. Changing the terminology of truth proves what Romans 1:18-32 says. It all comes down to God giving those who act like this over to a debased mind. A debased mind is plain old out crazy, in my southern vernaculat. Plain old out crazy. This is what happens to the human person who refuses to follow anything God has said and ordained as truth. Truth is a man is a male and a woman is a female. That is how God made us. A man and a woman. a male and a female, are the only two who are free to get married and produce children. God made them and blessed them to do this. Anytime people go against anything God has ordained, they will suffer the curse. Yes, there are curses attached to disobedience to God's plan for HIS creation. This is how God has set it all up. No arrogant, prideful, condescending professor or any other person can change God's expressed will. That is that. Changing the terminology of truth is certainly foolishness and will not change God either. What He says is final. God never changes, we do. God is good. Let us follow Him and be blessed. That is wisdom.

[@michaelstetzer3144]

Appreciate your knowledge of the Word. Thank you.

Although I’m an atheist, I’ve been watching Pastor Hamrick’s videos for 3 years now. I’ve grown so much philosophically through your teaching, and I can relate much of the content to Chinese traditional philosophical teaching. I think no matter what culture or religion you are from, what is good, what is bad, and what is the ultimate truth is generally the same. Thank you so much for your wisdom and courage!

[@julietruesdell.371]

Excellent message Pastor Hamrick. Another brilliant teacher about lies of Satan listen to Christian Prince exposing the Truth and lies about Islam, he is so big on Truth and also absolutely brilliant. The source and standard is so important. if repeated it becomes a world religion. We not as smart as we think we are without God YHWH.

Was reminded of that story in The Silver Chair (part of the Chronicles of Narnia; C.S. Lewis) were the main characters live temporarily underground with ‘earth creatures’, bewitched by the Evil One. And they all are convinced there is no such thing as a sun because they haven’t seen it. And almost succeeded in convincing the main characters, they thought they were crazy for believing the sun was real… Thanks for your clear teaching pastor Gary!

[@apryllaison8677]

Thankyou ❤️

[@rocketscientisttoo]

Great lesson in human psychology, especially as revealed by the dark side for this reveals their drive for dominance and control. It all started, in the garden, with the first deception and will not end until God returns in glory. Long, long ago Pilate asked the question "What is truth?" but He wasn't the originator of that question. It was originated in the Garden and phrased as "Did God actually say?", but don't miss the attitude of the one asking the question - I know the truth, you don't; I am better than you, you are subservient to me; and so Cain killed Abel. From then on, as long as man is in control, history keeps repeating itself.

[@kellyveal1675]

Jesus Christ is the one true God of all of creation in heaven and the universe. God the father gave it all to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is lord and savior he died for us on the cross, the only offering that God the father would take to cover mankind's sins.

[@darlenegarza877]

11John 7-12&1John 2-5 Jesus is not God the Father..that is how you received another Jesus, which is the ANTICHRIST churches.

[@alegrefeliz7579]

@Kelly Veal nds ago Hope you do a little research. As a christian evangelist on a project to translate the bible from english to portugues so enrolled in biblical hebrew to provide an accurate translation and in the progress of my learning i was horrified, petrified as one able to read and understand the context of those verses i've personally preached for years so down on my face in repentance. They have tricked us all. All translations are PURPOSELY mistranslated so you don't find out the truth and the animosity against jews is to keep us from the truth. Just a test of the absurdity that we have been made to believe or rather brain washed ...salvation comes from repentance from breaking HIS Ten Commandments; the word ELOHIM was translated to us "God" but the meaning is "powers" the word translated to us as"prayer"should read "petition" ; the word torah was translated to us as "law" bt should read "instructions" (go to psalms and change law to instructions); and the "mighty god, prince of peace great counselor is king hezekiah whos name is "mighty god" (by the way most of the names of prophets and kings and in general has been PURPOSELY mistranslated so you don't find out the Creator's name. the name of jesus is no where nor even any reference to him so furthermore come to find out the letter "J" was invented around the year 1500 and implemened after the year 1611 so was no such name in any language, and there is more but i urge everyone to learn biblical hebrew while still available.The word "messiah" means "anointed" and all kings and prophets are called "messiah." the word Yahu is the abreviation of The Creator's name and YahuSha just means YAHU SAVES There is no other but the creatoe HIMSELF that saves when we repent and turn to HIM by obedience to HIS commands which is doing "good works of righteousness that we have been brain washed not to do. escape

[@darlenegarza877]

The biggest problem the US faces is, when David became King in Israel, God punished Israel, because of what Saul as King, had done, even though David was King! We will be punished for all the evil Joe is and has done, even if Trump wins. Only by our people repenting of our evil, can God Bless us completely, but how will that happen, unless, like King Hezekiah prayed, for God to forgive us and open people’s hearts accept God. Today, we need a leader, who will pray, asking God to , open people hearts and mind’s to accept Jesus as LORD God Almighty!

When all modern Bibles say at Heb 3:16 that all who followed Moses out of Egypt died in the wilderness while the KJB says some did not provoke and die; which is truth? If we are to find truth in the word of God, should we at least use a Bible that has no false statements?
