3 The Truth of Life Bible Study That Age Old Question Look up John 18:38 to find out what it is.
4 The Truth of Life Bible Study That Age Old Question Look up John 18:38 to find out what it is. "What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
5 The Truth of Life Bible Study The world isn t concerned with listening to Jesus answer either. A post-modern view of truth is that it is relative, not objective or absolute. Thus, the truth of a particular statement depends on the views of the one making it. So you can have your truth and I can have mine. Even if our truths opposed each other, relativism would consider them both truths. For example, you could say, Embryos are human beings. I could say, Embryos are not human beings. Relativism would see these both as being truth if that is what we believed.

14 The Truth of Life Bible Study The Word s Answer What can happen even among those who have known the Word s answer? 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
15 The Word s Answer and the Value of Life When it comes to the value of human life, even some in the Church have swerved from the Word s answer and wandered off into the myths of the world s answer. It can happen to any of us. We all need to be reminded about the Truth of Life as revealed in God s Word of Truth.

80 Conclusion Ephesians 4: Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
