Early Buddhist
As a Buddhist, I believe that truth is only fully understood through direct, personal experience. Any alleged facts obtained through other ways of learning (e.g. hearsay, etc.) are subject to questioning.I understand, but whether we experience truth or not, it remains the truth. As a Christian I believe that truth is revealed to us ...
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.by God Himself. Truth is encompassed in everything He is and everything about Him because nothing false exists in Him. So, we can know truth because we can know Him in a personal way. Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." So, there is no truth apart from Him who is the Truth; therefore, all knowledge that is based on the truth (of who He is and what He has done or created) is true.
Francis Schaeffer, a Christian philosopher and theologian, explains these things much better than I have in some of his books. I've been reading True Spirituality. You might want to read it!
