Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted June 3, 2009 Administrators Posted June 3, 2009 "There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil." -- Alfred North Whitehead Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)

Members phkrause Posted June 4, 2009 Members Posted June 4, 2009 Actually thought the second half of the thread was truer than the first. :) pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
GreatLakesGramma Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Well, the quote isn't true. The Bible is whole truth. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S. Lewis
Administrators Gail Posted June 4, 2009 Administrators Posted June 4, 2009 As I have said more than once, that we can only make decisions based on the information we have. Tell me one person that has all the information... Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
SivartM Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I think I disagree... Sort of... Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." - Jesus
Administrators Gail Posted June 4, 2009 Administrators Posted June 4, 2009 Okay... bring it on! I'd love to hear what's on your heart! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Liz Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Well, the whole Bible is true, but I don't think it is "whole" truth. Just the bits that would get us to Jesus and Salvation. Wouldn't God be "whole" truth? Quote For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Mat. 16:26Please, support the JDRF and help find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.

Amelia Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Sooooo If there is no whole truth, only half truths and an idea is half baked; is it only a quater truth?

GreatLakesGramma Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Well, the whole Bible is true, but I don't think it is "whole" truth. Just the bits that would get us to Jesus and Salvation. Wouldn't God be "whole" truth? Liz, the Bible is definitely not a half truth, because a half truth, by definition means half false. So in that context, the Bible is whole truth. It just doesn't isn't big enough to contain ALL truth. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26.

I know of relationships that are true, and I know of some relationships that are false.... But I have never known a relationship as TRUTH.....

I know of relationships that are true, and I know of some relationships that are false.... But I have never known a relationship as TRUTH..... So then... just consider it moot.
