Non-negotiable truth should be a source of rightous anger (the notion attacks the character of Christ as he is the truth) is us. We can't agree to the premise. I believe agreeing to the notion is the first step toward the slippery slope, as you say "game over".

Either something is or is not truth. <br /><br />Where does truth come from? From men or from something outside us, something transcendent. Those are the first to questions: Does truth exist? Where does it originate?<br /><br />Those are the first two prongs the enemy uses to attack God. "There is no truth," and "truth comes from men." Once that becomes the starting point, game over. <br /><br />One can see it everywhere. The wrong answers to those question are the signposts to the highway to perdition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
