Is All of the Bible Still True Today?

 

I have some questions for us today. A lot of them, actually.

What is truth? Who says? Is it subjective? Do we simply “listen to Holy Spirit’s leading” towards a matter, in Messiah? If so, is this up to each individual’s own discretion and interpretation?

Are there any absolutes today? Were there ever? If yes (there used to be) when did they go away and change? How do we determine what is true today? Do we do it differently than those who went before us? Did truth change in the New Testament, after Messiah was here? If it did, was it while He was here? Was it when He died on the execution stake? Was it when He arose from the grave? Was it when He ascended? If any of these were true, where are we specifically told, in the Scriptures? For example, if Torah was perfect, reviving the soul and truth in David’s day, when he penned the Psalms, is it still or did that change? Again, if it did, when?

I’d encourage us all to sit down and really ask, “how do we determine what truth is?” Most Believers would say that it’s the Bible, of course. OK. All of it? Most would emphatically say “Yes!” So, if all of the Bible is true, in what sense? Some is true for “these people” and some is true for “those people.”

In light of just today’s two texts, a true student of the Word and pursuer of truth and righteousness must ask, have we possibly got something wrong here, in our age? Is it even remotely possible that we have been the deceived ones that have grown up with constant ear tickling, turning away from truth, wandering into myths and told that we're "free from all of those burdensome laws now, in Jesus?"

To be crystal clear, what if the wandering myth includes a new gospel that has taught us all to abandon the Torah that is truth? Father’s wonderful Instruction has been labeled archaic and abandoned by the masses. Outdated and inferior, for “today’s Church.” We have scoffed at truth – Father’s Torah. That is, if we believe what the Psalms tell us. All of them that is, not just the ones that we personally prefer to apply.

There are many questions to be asked. I hope that we’re all willing to count the cost and take the necessary time to answer them. Selah.
