Postmodernism Vs. Modernism Unlike modernism, which treated religion as superstition, postmodernists happily accept any religion-as long as it makes no claim to universal truth or authority (Dennis McCallum, The Death of Truth; cf. The Spiritual Sword, page3) 72% young Americans say they do not believe in absolute truth (Phil Sanders, Adrift: Postmodernism in the church)

Heard –Learn-Know Truth Jesus: – Know the authoritative source – if willing to do (Jn. 7:17-18, 10:38, 8:28) – Know the truth – make you free (Jn. 8:32) – Know the only true God (Jn. 17:3)

Heard –Learn-Know Truth Paul: – Purpose of revelation – (I Cor. 2:12-14) – Know the love of Christ (Eph. 3:19) – Confidence in knowledge (2 Tim. 1:12, 4:7-8)

Heard –Learn-Know Truth John: – We know we know him – keep Lords commandments (I Jn. 2:3-5) – Know who is begotten of God – those do righteousness (I Jn. 2:29) – Know we have passed out of death into life – love brethren (I Jn. 3:13-19) – Know the spirit of God- Truth – confess Jesus has come in the flesh (I Jn. 4:2,6)

Heard –Learn-Know Truth John: – We know God hears our prayers – ask according to His Will (I Jn. 5:14-15, 3:22) – We know we have eternal life (I Jn. 5:13,20)
