Because Absolute Truth Goes Beyond Time and Space…
The absolute truth is the substance while the counterfeit is the perversion. Because absolute truth goes beyond time and space, without that society would crumble. There is no such thing as relative truth (= counterfeit) because truth is absolute bringing order and stability. Any area where the counterfeit is accepted there is chaos and instability. It is widely known that in order to know counterfeit currency you need to handle real currency – bank tellers have been trained in this manner. When counterfeit currency is accepted this causes much harm to society.
The Origin of Absolute Truth and the Counterfeit
Absolute truth is found only in the Bible and is personified in Jesus Christ, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14: 6). It is the responsibility of Christians to use truth to measure all things in the world. Because absolute truth goes beyond time and space, without that society would crumble. The Bible tells us in 2Corinthians 11:14- “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” Since the very beginning of time, satan has always counterfeited the truth. We see this in the garden of Eden when the serpent, i.e. the devil deceived the woman by twisting God’s truth (Genesis 3:1-7).
Cultural/Societal Illustrations of Absolute Truths and Their Counterfeits
This same demonic strategy has been used throughout the history of mankind and as we observe the current events it has become clearer. For example, marriage. According to the Biblical truth , man was created in the image and likeness of God. But the counterfeit is that man evolved from a lower form of life. Also, God created only two genders- male and female. The counterfeit is anything else that is in opposition to this truth such as transgenderism. Also, according to Biblical truth marriage is between a man and a woman and not between members of the same sex or transgender couples- the latter two are counterfeits of the true marriage. Finally, the foundational documents of this nation, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were established on the Biblical truth of liberty. The counterfeit of these documents is Project 1619 (Critical Race theory) written by the New York Times and states that slavery is the foundation.
Responsibility of Christians to Use Absolute Truth Against the Counterfeit
As Christians it is our responsibility to be a voice for Biblical truth in the world, this is especially true, in the educational/governmental/political arenas. Because absolute truth goes beyond time and space, without that society would crumble. are Christians who believe that we should not do this but as ambassadors of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20) we are to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) to expose the counterfeit cultural/societal norms of the world. Compromise with the counterfeit norms is not the answer to the issues we face but true unity based on Biblical truth is.
