What is Truth?

 Do recall when Pontius Pilate was questioning Yeshu'ah after He was arrested?  

• John 18:38 - Pilate said unto him, "What is Truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Yahudiym, and said unto them, "I find in Him no fault at all. 

Have you ever wondered what is truth?  I have always believed that we should let scripture define scripture.  We live in a world that easily will believe in what they are being told and what they hear.   We can go to the internet and easily find many different and contradicting opinions.  What opinion should we believe.?  Who can we trust when we try to form a conclusion?   What is the truth?

Lets look at how Webster's Dictionary defines truth.

• truth

  troo͞th

  noun

  1. Conformity to fact or actuality.
  2. Reality; actuality.
  3. The reality of a situation.

  
  

In this blog, lets explore what scriptures tells us about truth.  The purpose of this blog is not to define truth as it refers to the world's view, but to look at truth from a biblical perspective.

Below are verses from scripture to help us discern what Pilate was saying and why he found no guilt in Yeshu'ah, "What is Truth?"

• John 14:6  Yahusha said unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."
• Psalm 119:142  Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your Torah is the Truth.  
• Psalm 119:150  They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from your Torah. (151) You are near, O Yahuah; and all your commandments are Truth. 
• 1 John 2:4  He that says, I know him, and guards not his commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. 
• Hebrews 10:26  For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins.
• Matthew 5:17  “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.  I did not come to destroy but to complete. (Footnote: The Law (TORAH) and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures.  The TORAH refers to the first five books of the Scriptures/Bible.)  (18) “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.

Below are verses from scripture regarding testimony of witnesses.  We should never lean upon our own understanding.

• 1 John 4:1  Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of Elohim, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 
• Deuteronomy 19:15  “One witness does not rise up against a man concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established. 
• 2 Corinthians  13:1  This is the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”

From the above scriptures, we can see that Yeshu'ah said he was the Truth, and the TORAH is Truth.   Yeshu'ah was the living and talking TORAH and the WORD.

• John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.  (2) He was in the beginning with Elohim.  (3) All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.   (4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  (5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 
• Genesis 1:1  In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.  (2) And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters.   (3) And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.   (4) And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness.  (5) And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, one day. 
• If you continue further in Genesis, we see that light was not created until the fourth day.   What could this light be?  

May YAHWEH bless you and may find favor in his eyes.
