The Search for Truth

Observation reveals that failure to search for truth forms a significant hindrance to finding truth for many.

Failure to search for truth can be found in many forms: from failure to search altogether, to adopting the views of others without significant inquiry, to adopting the views of others without inquiry into their findings, to being content to simply argue one's position repetatively without further inquiry, to inquiring further but remaining in or continuing down paths opposed to the truth, to conducting even fuller and continuing inquiry even into the truth itself but with commitment to false presuppositions or blinded by predispositions.

Even the time and energies of the most highly proclaimed naysayers would be better spent continuing in their personal search for truth than making proclamations (no matter how sought after, publicized, desired, or received) while remaining apart from the truth, in which solid discovery (including revelation, foundations, commitments, dispositions, recognition and reception) is possible and comes only through exposure and relation to Christ.

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit: Understanding Scripture's Most Serious Sin

When Jesus spoke about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit being the unforgivable sin (Mark 3:28-29), He revealed one of Scripture's most profound truths. This declaration demands our careful attention and complete understanding. The Context of Christ's Warning The context of Jesus's statement about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit reveals its true nature. In Mark 3, the religious leaders attributed Jesus's miraculous works to demonic powers rather than recognizing them as the Holy Spirit's testimony to Christ's identity. This wasn't a casual mistake—it was a deliberate rejection of divine testimony. The Holy Spirit's Mission Jesus declared the Spirit's core mission: "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth... He will glorify me" (John 16:13-14). The Spirit's fundamental role is to testify to Christ and reveal divine truth. This mission continues today through the Spirit-inspired Scriptures. Scripture as the Spir...
