Sticky: What is Truth?
Welcome to TheConfessors.com where Christians can come together to deal with such questions as, "does truth exist?"
When we say we believe Christ is God, because: "He rose from the dead" or "He commanded the elements" we are making an apologetic statement. Apologetics is to give reason for the faith within you. We all make apologetics statements every day, about many things. Apologetics does not mean to be sorry for believing in Christ, quite the contrary. It mean to explain or defend your belief. The term comes from the Greek word apologia (απολογία), meaning defense of a position against an attack.
In our days the attack on Christianity is relentless, whether at school, at work, at play, or in the media. People are often confronted with very cleverly devised schemes, from anti-Christians. Of course since Christ is truth, then none of their attacks can truly defeat Him. The aim is to arm Christians in their hearts and mind against these attacks, to enable them to be able to present Christ in a loving way in a world that openly rejects him.
We would love to hear from you, please comment on the posts you find here.
Lastly, we encourage you questions. Please tell us the most difficult question you may have with Christianity or have been asked by a non-Christian and we will do our best to answer it. Be sure to include your email so we can send you the answer, it will also be answered here. Ask your question here.
Jul 4: Is Darwinism humanism masquerading as Science?
This is George again. I wanted to see if I could get you
to comment on my observation that evolutionary belief is in actual fact
humanism masquerading as science. I wanted to get your thought on that.
Dear George,
Yes!
Darwin admited in his diaries from the voyage on
the Beagle. Then he was a believer in God until the ship reached the
southern latitudes of the world, by that time the mocking of the
officers had driven him into despair.

Jun 29: Relativism is true, because of diversity
Often relativists will say that because of so many differant views about truth, that the only real truth is relativism. In their minds this sloves the hard work of picking the real truth, and living up to it. However, they still embrace many things as objective truths, such as murder, rape, stealing from poor people, womens rights, abortion, aninmal rights, etc. If you attack any one of those then will become upset. Thus they are only relativists with Christian truths, and not with their own truths. One of the supports they claim is "many truths"

Jun 28: Letter to the editor: What is the Debate?
All Copyrights released- This is sample letter to the editor- feel free to modify it as you wish. - Michael Fowler
Far too often in the media we see a bias towards subjects in the public field. The media has become a willing propagandist for one side of an issue rather than a servant of the people in terms of distributing information. Often, I believe, the media has forgotten that the people whom they serve pay them for their services, not because they are wonderful reporters, but because the people desire unbiased and well-written information, sometimes known as news. An example of the media's promulgation of preconceived notions is in this setting of creation versus evolution. When the media mentions such debate it does so in terms of science versus the Bible.

How often do professionals leave the bounds of their expertise? How often have we heard lawyers making claims about science that were quite absurd in order to prove their case in court. All of us have been tempted to make claims that are beyond the scope and means of our profession. I'm writing to you now because I'm worried about this same troubling problem entering into the world of science. Many scientists have been making claims about origins that are completely unprovable by science, that are still to mere theories. The problem is that of science versus scientism. Most scientists are aware that science is based on observations. Those observations are interpreted through the mind of a scientist. Often scientists believe that there is some mystical oracle of knowledge that exists within the scientific community: this leads them to the false belief of scientism.

Was Hitler wrong?
Can that question even be asked in today’s world of tolerance? Can Hitler be condemned for his actions? Did Martin Luther King do anything good? Do women’s rights matter? Let’s see if this can be done in the world of “postmodernism or relativism”. If the answers to the above questions are “no”, then we do live in a very disturbing world. Whereas, if answered yes, then we live in a world that testifies of an objective good and evil.

I must state how surprised I am at the quick downgrading of the historical accuracy of Holy Bible. How many “learned” people seem to quickly forget the academic methods used to determine if a piece of literature is false. Moreover, how modern critics seem to think that with a mere wave of the pen, they can relegate one of world’s largest and most significant religions as a mere myth.

eldavojohn writes
"In 1994, there was speculation that there might be a southern ice cap on the moon — something our exploration of it could take advantage of. Unfortunately, recent evidence has come to light revealing that this probably isn't true."
From the article:
"If there is any ice at the South Pole, it probably comes from tiny, scattered grains that probably account for only one or two percent of the local dust, the authors suggest.
