Knowledge is not based on truth.
stop torturing babies, it frightens the children
100 percentEpistemology is founded on the principle of Justified True Belief. If we do not have knowledge, we have nothing. If we cannot "know" things, then morality goes out the window, and now it is possible in some world to torture a baby for fun. That is what you get with "post-modern relativism."
Exodus 34:6
"The LORD passed in front of him and proclaimed:
The LORD—the LORD is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth,"
The word for "truth" here is actually truth. It comes from the Hebrew word אֱמֶת
Truth is not a nebulous term. It is a person. Why? If you start to ask "Why?" questions, then you inevitably end up with a "Who?" question because Truth is gounded in minds. And minds come from a person. So, which person, in all of human history, is the Truth? That would be Jesus Christ who said,
John 8:31-32
"“If you continue in my word, you really are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”"
All the world religions want a piece of Jesus. They all say He is part of the way, or you can get to the way through Him. But he does not share his glory. Rather, He says,
John 14:6
"“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”"
Everyone says Jesus is "a" way, but Jesus says he is THE way.
Jesus is the Truth.
