What is Truth? As it is written: "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth."~John 17:17
Yahweh God is a majority of One, His truth stands forever. The opinions of millions of humans does not change the truth of the Bible. Man can only discover what is truth by studying the Bible and applying the spiritual principles to every area of their life.
How Mankind Defines Bible Truth
The Creator of the human race endowed mankind with intellect and the ability to choose. When presented with truth
mankind reasons within himself/herself, "If I don't believe something then it's not true. On the other hand, if I do believe something to be true, it must be true because I believe it."
