This week Bro. Leo continues us in our study of TRUTH.

Last week we learned that the Bible is very specific that the truth of God and Gods’ truth is the only absolute truth (Gen.1:1-5, 26-27, 31, Gen.2:1, Exo.19:16-20, Exo.20:1-3, 12-17, Duet.6:4-5, Isa.45:5-8, Isa.42:8, John 1:1-3, 14, 18, Acts 4:10, 12). God is the sole source of absolute truth and His truth never changes, is never relative, arbitrary or fluid. Contrary to Gods’ absolute truth, mans’ truth is arbitrary, relative and fluid (Jer.17:9-10, Rom.3:4). We have the free will to choose to believe Gods’ absolute truth or reject it (John 8:43-45). Gods’ absolute truth is and has been being attacked in our Nation by all those wanting to usher in the New World Order, knowing the only way to do that is by destroying the Nation from the inside via the education and political systems removing Gods’ truth by replacing it with lies from Satan (Rom.1:18, 28, 32, 19-20, Rom.2:14-15, 20, 25, 1Tim.4:1-2, Rom.1:21, 25, 2Tim.3:7). This all being done in order to strip us of our freedoms and liberty’s enslaving us to the NWO (John 8:31-32, 36).

This week we learn that the word “truth” in John 18:37 is translated from the Greek word “alētheia” which Spiros Zodhiates defines as reality, absolute certainty and fact. Pure unadulterated reality that’s source is God.

Gods’ Word establishes a hierarchy with God above all else which allows for a set of parameters for us to live by (2Pet.1:20-21, 2Tim.3:16-17). What we are seeing in this country now is nothing less than deception and half truth’s (2Tim.3:13).

I’m not going to go into details here, but Bro. Leo describes the deception we all seen this week following the SCOTUS ruling on Roe v. Wade (John 8:42-44).

There is only one truth, by definition it is impossible to have a “my truth” and “your truth” (1John 1:6-8), truth is not whatever you want to make it be.

(Bro. Leo did not include this in the study) I like to compare definitions of words between the Webster’s Dictionary 1828 and the latest Webster’s version, this is the 1828 definition of “truth”:
TRUTH, noun

1. Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

My mouth shall speak truth Proverbs 8:7.

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

2. True state of facts or things. The duty of a court of justice is to discover the truth Witnesses are sworn to declare the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

3. Conformity of words to thoughts, which is called moral truth

Shall truth fail to keep her word?

4. Veracity; purity from falsehood; practice of speaking truth; habitual disposition to speak truth; as when we say, a man is a man of truth

5. Correct opinion.

6. Fidelity; constancy.

The thoughts of past pleasure and truth

7. Honesty; virtue.

It must appear

That malice bears down truth

8. Exactness; conformity to rule.

Plows, to go true, depend much on the truth of the iron work. [Not in use.]

9. Real fact of just principle; real state of things. There are innumerable truths with which we are not acquainted.

10. Sincerity.

God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth John 4:23.

11. The truth of God, is his veracity and faithfulness. Psalms 71:22.

Or his revealed will.

I have walked in thy truth Psalms 26:3.

12. Jesus Christ is called the truth John 14.

13. It is sometimes used by way of concession.

She said, truth Lord; yet the dogs eat of the crums– Matthew 15:27.

That is, it is a truth; what you have said, I admit to be true.

In truth in reality; in fact.

Of a truth in reality; certainly.

To do truth is to practice what God commands. John 3.

Here’s the current version:
Definition of truth

1a(1): the body of real things, events, and facts : ACTUALITY

(2): the state of being the case : FACT

(3)often capitalized : a transcendent fundamental or spiritual reality

b: a judgment, proposition, or idea that is true or accepted as truetruths of thermodynamics

c: the body of true statements and propositions

2a: the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality

bchiefly British : TRUE sense 2

c: fidelity to an original or to a standard

3a: sincerity in action, character, and utterance

barchaic : FIDELITY, CONSTANCY

4capitalized, Christian Science : GOD

in truth

: in accordance with fact : ACTUALLY

As you can see even Webster has removed God for the most part, moving the definition closer to arbitrary than absolute.

This week Bro. Leo starts us on a new study series concerning the current condition of our Nation and the direction we are headed in, starting with the Biblical definition of “truth” and why it’s considered antagonistic in both our political theatre and education systems.

The Bible is very specific that the truth of God and Gods’ truth is the only absolute truth (Gen.1:1-5, 26-27, 31, Gen.2:1, Exo.19:16-20, Exo.20:1-3, 12-17, Duet.6:4-5, Isa.45:5-8, Isa.42:8, John 1:1-3, 14, 18, Acts 4:10, 12). God is the sole source of absolute truth and His truth never changes, is never relative, arbitrary or fluid.

Contrary to Gods’ absolute truth, mans’ truth is arbitrary, relative and fluid (Jer.17:9-10, Rom.3:4). We have the free will to choose to believe Gods’ absolute truth or reject it (John 8:43-45).

Gods’ absolute truth is and has been being attacked in our Nation by all those wanting to usher in the New World Order, knowing the only way to do that is by destroying the Nation from the inside via the education and political systems removing Gods’ truth by replacing it with lies from Satan (Rom.1:18, 28, 32, 19-20, Rom.2:14-15, 20, 25, 1Tim.4:1-2, Rom.1:21, 25, 2Tim.3:7). This all being done in order to strip us of our freedoms and liberty’s enslaving us to the NWO (John 8:31-32, 36).

This week Bro. Leo leads us in celebrating the life of my wife, Joyce Greuter, who went home to be with Jesus Friday June 3rd. I titled this recording “Shinning Light” because Joyce’s highest priority was sharing the love of Jesus Christ with all her family and friends in hopes that they too would accept His unconditional love and salvation. Please take a few minutes and listen to this celebration of life and feel the love that Joyce had for Jesus and all her family and friends and that Jesus has for you.

Scriptures used in today’s celebration:

Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

This week Bro. Leo continues our study about what God thinks about us. Bro. Leo dedicated this study to the memory of my wife, Joyce Greuter, who went home to be with Jesus Friday afternoon. If Joyce were still here with us, it would be her desire that everyone that all her family and friends listen to this study and really take it to heart. Our Lord truly blessed me with a precious and wonderful wife for 33 years and I would really appreciate your prayers of comfort, strength and guidance for myself and my family at this time, thank you so, so much!
