I hear people say things like " The Truth of Jesus Christ " and stuff like that all the time. But is it the Truth? Do they know it because they feel it? Do they feel it because they know it?
I tend to use the word Truth differantly.
I can have Faith that my car will get me to work today.
I can Believe that my car will get me to work today.
I will not KNOW that my car will get me to work today until it actually gets me to work.
And thats the Truth.

Christ said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Thus “The Truth” is often used as a proper name for Jesus Christ. Those of us that believe in Christ believe He is The Truth. If you don’t believe in Christ then this would be all meaningless to you.
Contrary to popular myth, faith is not blind. Faith is how we know God and if you don’t have faith it only seems blind from the outside. Just like it is very difficult to describe sight to someone that has never seen, describing faith to someone that has none is a very difficult task.
Essentially we all are given a “mustard seed” of faith. You can choose to care for it and gain more or reject what little you have and have nothing. But faith is actually a gift from God and you cannot attain it on your own. And without faith you will always be completely blind spiritually, none of it will ever make sense to you no matter how hard you try.
To gain faith you will need act on that little "mustard seed" and ask for more. Short of that you will always be lost.

Because God is truth? what a load of crap..
God is a belief, a faith, not a truth.
I too choose to use the word Truth differantly, and I find it funny reading peoples comments about what is the truth.
There is a book called the 'True face of God' that I thought was very interesting, i thought this had more truth to it than believing in a supernatural God.

this is how i see it. element one: Jesus Christ we ought to have self belief in; this is genuine. Jesus isnt going to come lower back to us in individual purely reason we decide on information. faith is an significant section in believing in Jesus. element 2: climate we've self belief or no longer it doesnt exchange the actuality of Jesus Christ. certainty that the bible shows us. certainty in what's provided to us in ourselves and in existence. element 3: we could have self belief and have faith issues to be genuine while they do no longer look to be. we ought to intelligently come to our very own words of what the actuality relatively is. certainty is super, has many perspectives yet in basic terms one certainty. the actuality of Jesus Christ by no ability will exchange. The Holy Bible authorized King James is that the sort of certainty. the classes we be taught from the bible shown in existence amplifies that certainty. Our faith helps this certainty. end: No we shouldnt use faith somewhat than certainty because of the fact our faith doesnt exchange what's genuine. Jesus Christ is certainty and interior the top all truths are made frequently happening. Truths as provided interior the bible and made take place by way of existence. yet no longer each thing human beings claims to be genuine is in actuallity genuine it somewhat is purely there interpretation or opinion.

The definition of Truth is that anything that contradicts it is a lie. If you find something that is set up in such a way that denial of it is both illogical and impossible, then it becomes the Truth.

To those of us who know the "Truth", Faith is the word everyone else, who doesn't know the truth, uses to describe what we know. God is the answer to all things. So to the true believer God is the truth, to the non believer, or the one who wants to believe "Faith" becomes the word of choice.

Because people are shockingly ignorant of their faith tradition and go with whatever is in fashion this week.
