WORD OF THE YEAR: “Post-Truth”

“POST-TRUTH” “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” “Oxford’s Word of the Year for 2016 Is ‘Post-Truth’” Time Magazine

“POST-TRUTH” “It describes a situation in which feelings trump facts.” (Time Magazine) Not a new concept, but usage increased during this political season: “post-truth politics” “You may think you are prepared for a post-truth world, in which political appeals to emotion count for more than statements of verifiable fact.” (Washington Post)

God’s Word is Truth John 17:17 Psalm 119:142, 160 The gospel is the truth, Eph. 1:13; Col. 1:5 Can know gospel… Eph. 5:17; John 8:32 Facts…Commands…Promises “but grow in the grace and knowledge…” 2 Peter 3:18

World does not define truth John 18:38 Feelings, emotions, experiences and traditions, Proverbs 14:12; 28:26 Academia, 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 Majority approval, Matthew 7:21, 13-14

regarding truth world Jesus “A” truth Partial truth “The truth” Subjective, changes Partial truth Bhagavad Gita, Koran, BofM, etc. “The truth” Absolute, emphatic authority, Gal. 4:16 Fullness of truth Jno. 1:14, 17; 16:13 regarding truth

regarding truth world Jesus Essential truth Relative truth Gospel/Doctrine Relative truth Changing, adapting Not fully knowable All truth, John 12:48; 16:13 Constant Enduring, 1 Peter 1:22-25 Can know, Ephesians 3:3-5 regarding truth

Christians are developing similar attitudes (Matt. 7:24-27) By confusing opinions with truth Must learn how to study, how to establish and apply Bible authority, Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:11-12 Teachers, Ephesians 4:11; Acts 8:30-35

Christians are developing similar attitudes (Matt. 7:24-27) By accepting worldly values and attitudes toward the truth When this happens, they view disagreement as meaning unity is not possible Their solution? Agree to disagree Christ’s solution, 1 Cor. 1:10-13 (Eph. 4:3)

Christians are developing similar attitudes (Matt. 7:24-27) By accepting worldly values and attitudes toward the truth These see a judgment against sin as being hypocritical or self-righteous, since they refuse to commit to an absolute standard of truth (right and wrong) Jesus commended righteous judgment, John 7:24 (12:48); Luke 12:57

Psalm 25:4-5 “Show me your ways, O Lord; Teach me your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; On you I wait all the day.” “For the word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth.” Psalm 33:4
