Jesus brought us information pertaining to that which exists beyond our event horizon. John 1:18: “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” (KJV)
Jesus asserted that “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father” And in John 10:30 he clarified this beyond equivocation when he said “I and my Father are one.”
That God has entered our time, space, matter dimension in order to reveal truth to us, a consequence now weighs upon us to believe truth.
We know from Rom 1:18 who will perish, for “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”
Rom 1:25 further describes those “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.”
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already.

Truth needs to be revealed to you in the spirit. The soul of man strives for knowledge, but paradoxically, moves further and further from the truth.

THE two men facing each other could scarcely have been more dissimilar. One was a politician who was cynical, ambitious, wealthy, ready to do anything to advance his own career. The other was a teacher who spurned wealth and prestige and was prepared to sacrifice his life to save the lives of others. Needless to say, these two men did not see eye to eye! On one matter in particular, they disagreed absolutely—the matter of truth.
The men were Pontius Pilate and Jesus Christ. Jesus was standing before Pilate as a condemned criminal. Why? Jesus explained that the reason for this—indeed, the very reason that he had come to the earth and undertaken his ministry—came down to one thing: truth. “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world,” he said, “that I should bear witness to the truth.”—John 18:37.
Pilate’s reply was a memorable question: “What is truth?” (John 18:38) Did he really want an answer? Probably not. Jesus was the kind of man who could answer any question asked of him in sincerity, but he did not answer Pilate. And the Bible says that after asking his question, Pilate walked straight out of the audience chamber. The Roman governor likely asked the question in cynical disbelief, as if to say, “Truth? What is that? There is no such thing!”
Pilate’s skeptical view of truth is not uncommon today. Many believe that truth is relative—in other words, that what is true to one person may be untrue to another, so that both may be “right.” This belief is so widespread that there is a word for it—“relativism.” Is this how you view the matter of truth? If so, is it possible that you have adopted this view without thoroughly questioning it? Even if you have not, do you know how much this philosophy affects your life?

Well then we'll just give up now shall we? Why waste time looking for answers?
If people followed your logic, we would still be drilling holes in people's heads to let the demons out.

Jesus was a liar and a fraud. Anyone who follows him is NOT a seeker of Truth.

i disagree with the statement that we are unable to know everything there is to know. it is paradoxical. perhaps you should restate it. we are unable to know everything we would like to know, or something like that.
after i got to the bejesus thing, i just stopped reading.
