There is No Substitute for Truth

Comment left on EBF's teaching from a man in Nepal: "Why about Bible only, why not Bhagwat Gita, Buddhism, Kuran or other religion's religious god. Why you comment bible as super.

Look God means faith, love to all needed, good thought, disciplined, helpful or many many good things. In the name of bible why you people shred divertion in others religion, let them enjoy their religion, do not try to suppress someone to change the religion by giving some benefit, that is great sin afterward you people will realize. Remember which religion is by birth that never change by money or some further benefit. Think good have faith and behave everybody as yours that is super God in my perspective!"

EBF response:

The reason why is truth. Truth does not allow for one, two, or 100 different contradictory things all to be correct. Truth demands that one thing be correct and contrary things be incorrect.

When it comes to God there is no substitute for truth. As God can only be God if He is a true God. By definition a false god is not God.

Therefore, truth is a necessity when it comes to the reality of the true God. And the God of the Bible (Jesus) declares He is the truth:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

While the Bible likewise declares itself to be the truth:

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Sadly, most people have no ears to perceive truth nor a heart's desire to love it as the truth:

2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

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.

Notice the language of the Bible is that those who do not love the truth (Jesus) will experience damnation for believing the lie. That's why God's elect people desire to only share the Bible's truth and proclaim Jesus (and the Bible) as the only truth.
