"Truth" is any word accurately defining and portraying existing reality. Though mankind professes many conflicting "truths" most are merely beliefs and opinions.
There is but one truth concerning the matters of God. This truth is the Living Word from the Living God. Truth resides in the mind of God in sure knowledge. Who knows more about God than God?
Having not believed man may be taught truth by God or having refused what God has offered, mankind has created his own "convenient" truths.
However, all who are truly of God, possess; are of; one mind and one spirit and this, created by God as knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, coming in the Spirit of Truth directly from God.
Because of self created minds, few seek and few receive the truth from God. Consequently, there are divisions, conflicts, wars, and murderous desires among those who say they "love" God.
Sadly, instead of coming to God to be taught truth, the many create their own truth by their imagination, creating religions, dogmas, doctrines, laws, etc. And sadly, many of these proclaim they are "Christians."
A true Christian is any person in the way of Christ; in the way of being taught truth by God. A true Christian receives the Holy Spirit from God which is the Spirit of Truth which is the truth God teaches. There is no conflict in the Word and truth from God and those receiving this Word and this truth are in agreement concerning the matters of God.
Unless a person is in this way of Christ they are engaging in folly. Vain works that do not bring the result desired by God. For God has designed and established the way to know the truth. God is able to fulfill what God has promised.
Why would a person turn to other sources other than God when seeking truth? Because they do not believe they may actually or really be taught truth by God.
Few have chosen to prove the way taught by Jesus of Nazareth and the other Sons of God. Consequently, few possess sure knowledge of truth. Most are content with their beliefs and opinions, never understanding the need to be set free by the truth from God.
False teachings and doctrines of devils are able to blind a person to the degree they cannot see what exists; they cannot see what is being said.
It is no different than asking a physically blind person to look at the painting of Mona Lisa and describing what they see. They are only able to offer what they imagine according to what they have heard from others.
They cannot relate from direct experience. Neither can the vast majority of religionists. They relate from what they have gathered from other's words and teachings.
I for one, have proved Jesus of Nazareth spoke truth. I have proved the way he taught to be the way established by God for gaining sure knowledge of truth concerning the matters of God. For this reason I often refer to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth just as Jesus of Nazareth referred to the teachings of Moses and the prophets.
Jesus of Nazareth was a man; one of mankind; who directly experienced communication with God. Realizing religion could never answer his questions, he followed the way explained by David; sought and found God; asked and received from God; what God has promised. Knowing the love of God, he spent his time getting the word of the reality into the minds of others, explaining this way of spirit and the way of gaining knowledge of truth from God, via this spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit.
The way has never changed. His words and teachings are as important today as when first spoken. He presented himself as a Son of God delaring; "If you love me you will keep my commandments." Followed by;
"If you follow my commandments then you shall know the truh and the truth shall set you free." Simple statements that present existing reality.
Most are blind and have been blinded to the fact he spoke of existing reality; reality any person may experience by following the way he taught.
Which raises the question; "Why aren't people coming to God to gain knowledge of truth so all may be in agreement as to what is truth concerning the matters of God?"
