What is Truth? - Guest Post by Bill Davis

A conservative, a liberal, a conservative liberal and a liberal conservative went in search of the truth. On the way they met a religious right, a religious left and a religious ambidextrous that were arguing. The conservative, the liberal, the conservative liberal and the liberal conservative asked the religious right, the religious left and the religious ambidextrous what they were arguing about. To which they replied; “We don’t really remember, but we know we are right.”

The conservative, the liberal, the conservative liberal and the liberal conservative asked the religious right, the religious left and the religious ambidextrous to accompany them in search of the truth. The religious right, the religious left and the religious ambidextrous asked the conservative, the liberal, the conservative liberal and the liberal conservative what the truth looked like. To which they replied; “We don’t really remember.”

Then the religious right, the religious left and the religious ambidextrous asked where was the last place you saw it. To which they replied; “We don’t remember, it was so long ago.”

The moral of the story: How do you know what the truth is if you do not remember what it looks like or where it lives? Jesus said:

John 8:32 (NIV); “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 14:6a (NIV); “I am the way and the truth and the life.”
