What is TRUTH ?

WHAT is TRUTH ?

Hello and welcome, If you are diligently seeking the Truth and just half way open minded you should be able to see the Truth, by the Scriptures, only. Verse after Verse and not reasonings of a verse or 2. As we find the TRUTH about what GOD says, about alot of things. We mainly use the King James Version of the Bible because of the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and a ( the older, the better) dictionary. i started running into verses of the latter day (our time) prophecy like this.

2 Tim.4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,having itching ears;

:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the TRUTH,and shall be turned unto fables.

FABLES= definition in the Strong's E.C. is # 3454- Gr., moo'-thos ; (through the idea of tuition); a tale, i.e. fiction ("myth").
And,for example,we could also look up these words in the dictionary.

TUITION= 2. instruction; teaching. We will simplify this information in a style that you will find efficient, but uncompromising, as you will see. May God / YHVH guide you in all things through Christ JESUS / YESHUA haMessiach.
' We've already begun the first of many subjects studied here, WHAT IS TRUTH ? i should back up the first verse we used with others. By all means, grab your Bible of your own Writtings to follow along, verify context, further reading, etc. Our format will be as though you don't.'

2 Thes.2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

FALLING AWAY, #646-( defection from truth; apostasy)

2 Thes.2:9 Even him,whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and LYING wonders,

:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;because they received not the love of the TRUTH, that they might be saved.

DECEIVABLENESS, #539-( delusion )

:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a LIE:

:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the TRUTH, but had pleasure in Unrighteousness.

UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, #93- wrongfulness; 'un-right-ness '

:13.., because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the TRUTH:

:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

' These scriptures and many, many more, about the defection from TRUTH are continued in the Second Coming Prophecy Study. But all these verses of warnings should make us think to just let the Bible speak for itself , ya know. On to the topic.'

2 Tim.2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of TRUTH.

RIGHTLY, #3723- in a straight manner, ie. (fig.) correctly ( also mor.).

DIVIDING, #3718- (fig.) to dissect ( expound ) correctly ( the divine message).

Isa.28:7-13, (:10) For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

:10 ..: and that which was written was upright, even words of TRUTH.

:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

***:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of a man.

1 Thes.4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

Ps.51:6 Behold, thou desirest TRUTH in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

*** Jn.4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in TRUTH: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in TRUTH.

Jn.17:1-26, (:16) They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

***:17 Sanctify them through thy TRUTH: THY WORD IS TRUTH. ' answer # 1.'

:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Eph.6:10-20, (:10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with TRUTH, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

2 Jn.1..; and not I only, but also all they that have known the TRUTH;

***Ps.119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and THY LAW IS THE TRUTH. '2nd answer'

***Ps.119:151 Thou art near, O Lord; and ALL YOUR COMMANDMENTS ARE TRUTH. '3rd'

' We could stop here. So far, the TRUTH is God's Word, Law and Commandments. Nevertheless, as to hear the whole matter, we should look into this just alittle further. i call Ps.119, the TRUTH Chapter.'

Ps.119:97 O how love I thy law ! it is my meditation all the day.

:127 Therefore I love thy commandments...

2 Tim.3:15-17, (:15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

PRIVATE, #2398- one's own

INTERPRETATION, #1955- explanation, ie. application.

:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2Pet.2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2 Pet.3:16 As also in all [his]('Paul')] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

UNLEARNED, 261- ignorant

2 Pet.3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.

:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Rom.1:25 Who changed the TRUTH of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

2 Tim.2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

:18 Who concerning the TRUTH have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.

Rev.14:8-20,(:12) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Rom.10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Jas.2:8-12, (:10) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

Jam.2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

'This could go on and on, but by now we should see that the TRUTH is only revealed in God's Word and IT is the pivotal in all other things concerning your Salvation.'

Mt.7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

:15 Beware of false prophets,which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

1 Jn.2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no LIE is of the TRUTH.

1 Jn.2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is no LIE, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 Cor.2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

SEARCHETH, 2045- (through the idea of inquiry); to seek, ie. (fig.) to investigate

INVESTIGATE, dic.- to search into; examine in detail; inquire into systematically. ' "rightly divide, set many Proverbs in order, precept upon pecept,''', line upon line,''', here alittle and there a little. This means us, each individual, to seek the TRUTH through labourous study, IT is obviously not just handed to us, seeing all the differing opinions. Here is an explaination of this.'

:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Thes.5:19 Quench not the Spirit.

:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

' Hopefully you realize that you need to study all things for yourself. A good idea is to put aside everything that you have been taught, and only to allow God's Spirit speak to you through and by His Word , only.
The end time prophecies also say that there will be a TRUTH revival and that we will be strong, and do exploits, and be the strongest saints to ever walk the earth. In my personal studies and investigation, i have found that most have two major things, wrong. But one, right. While the other 'groups' have those 2 things, right. But the other, wrong. Thus, there is nothing new or missing, its just all mixed up. None, have all the three major Doctrines, correct or in one basket, so to speak. More on this on the next study. I pray that every dilligent seeker, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will find the TRUTH here with us, as we study to find the TRUTH in this Verse to Verse format, to many subjects together.
