Is truth changeable? If it is not solid can it really be called the truth or is it just an idea or opinion. If I'm 18 and I beleive that I'm 39 and everyone else beleives that I'm 39 does that actually change my age and make me 39? If the truth cannot change then why are there so many different religions. Someone's gotta be right. Which means someone's gotta be wrong. R U right or wrong? how do you know?

no not everyone is right but if you live by the Bible and walk with God daily and have the sweet Holy Spirit with in you than you know you are on the right track and in the Bible there is no religion just Jesus teaching the word of God. so i know i am on my way to heaven and if some people say there is no God and heaven or hell than one day they will be in hell and they will burn forever.

The truth is just that. It's the truth. It can not change. It's path is narrow. should you try to follow it. Religion is a personal thing. It is up to the individual to decide for themselves what they choose to be live, but does that make it the truth. Nope. It sure doesn't. Never try to replace religion with philosophy or get the two mixed up. They are very different things all together. Look at it this way. You can say you don't believe, that if I slam your hand in my car door, that it won't hurt. Does that make it the truth. Nope. And if you were to actually let me slam your hand in my car door, you'd find out the truth that it in fact does hurt. Same with religions. Just because there are so many beliefs doesn't mean there's more than one truth. Just means there's many different beliefs. But, put them all to the test and by process of elimination, the real truth will sustain itself.

You're perfectly right about the fact that truth can't change, so you're way ahead of most people nowadays. There are lots of religions because it's always been (and continues to be) quite possible for human beings to be wrong about things. Even very serious things like that. I decided, after a lot of thinking, that Christianity is the correct one. It's unlike any of the others, partly because it's the only one that really believes in unconditional love and forgiveness- that salvation is an unearned gift. It's also the oldest faith, if you trace it back through Judaism (which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do). And for lots of other reasons.

The truth can never change. Man, to prove that he is wright sometimes changes the truth to fit his ideas, but that does not change the truth. Here is what I did, I went to my Bible (KJV only) and the first thing I studded was GOD, who is He, what is He, where is He, &c. Then I studdied who is Christ, &c,&c, then the Holy Ghost, and then I studdied what does God want of me and what is it that He wants me to do. After all that I know that I am wright and not wrong about my beliefs. Oh yea, just because you are 18 and say that you are 39 and every one believes you does not make it true. What if we all believed that the law of gravity was suspended? Is it? No, why? Because, we are still here, and not floting somewere in outerspace.

You're right. Truth is truth. It cannot be changed no matter what I think or what anyone else thinks. There are many religions because religions are formed by man, and they are all flawed. People are right about some things and wrong about other things. The only one who is completely right is God.

i would say "what do you think" but it looks like youre doing too much thinking already.
and thinking is good. but not when you are just spinning your wheels on useless things. thats what philosophers do. they think and think and think in circles about things with obvious answers or things that arent in any way provable or important.
...the truth is constant. there is such a thing as universal right and wrong.
stop wasting your thoughts on pointless things. youre reving your engine really high but there isnt any torque. you get what im saying?

The truth lies beyond thoughts. Which means your age, whatever it is, is just a concept of our minds conceived to define the reflection in the mirror - the truth can be seen in insight and wisdom, but not in thought. Insights come from beyond thought, but as we grasp insights we rationalize and define them - turning them into thoughts that corrupt the truth. Recognize your thoughts as just thoughts, and your concepts and judgments as fragments of these thoughts. Beliefs are a way to rationalize our fears and desires. While many religious teachings offer windows to truth through insight - truth must be experienced for oneself, and religions exist, because few of us are willing to experience truth for ourselves - so we defer to others to tell us.
We are all afraid of the truth - but our fear of the truth is also just a thought that we are trapped in. Free your mind from this trap and you will see you and I are ageless.
