THE CURIOSITY THAT LIES IN UNDERSTANDING THE THIN LINE BETWEEN FACTS AND TRUTHS

Would we then say that curiosity is a fact or a truth of reality that would suggest that every man has an unquenchable desire to..know, search, find, think and ask? As usually said, if Jesus (God) is the answer, what is the question? God in this case would provoke a new dimension of thought that capitalizes on whether His message (the word) and his being (as God) is a fact or truth. The logic of understanding this, usually reasons out even the most intelligent - to this date there are no findings that would disprove Godliness as either a fact or truth or a combination of the 2.

Before creation where was God? Was heaven ever created? And who created or made the universe? Does God actually exist? Is God a self existing tri-being or God is a three (3) in One (1) being (God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit)? Was Jesus actually born by a virgin through the divine power of the Holy Spirit? Is man a created image of God? Is man a collection of bones, mere flesh or a spirit, possessing a soul and living in a body?. If these questions were to be plainly answered as 'Yes', would we categorize these mind bobbling questions as either facts or truths?

In one of the Philforums (philosophy) it would be obvious that this debate is confusing yet very interesting. That a fact "is a 'reality' that cannot be logically disputed or rejected". The assertion that if fire is actaually hot then it must burn regardless of how you have decided to argue out your case. Which would then conclude that "facts are concrete realities that no amount of reasoning will change". That "facts are not discovered, facts are not created, facts are simply acknowledged". In a sense it is an unquestionable existance of something that cannot be proved otherwise different.

In the same forum, truth is described as the exact opposite of a fact. That truths, "must be discovered or created and not just acknowledged as facts are". The arguement suggests that truth is expressed on the basis of a desire or a strong feeling that would coerce one's thinking of as opposed to reasoning of. An expression purely based on belief rather than substansive reasoning and understanding.

To the question of God as the exceptional subject that superpasses human understanding, there would not be any contradication as to whether understanding or believing in God would amount to us realising that it is a fact of life yet at the same time a truth in life that uncovers the unimaginable supreme being that is unlimitless beyond the natural.

In 1 Timothy 3:16a different biblical versions or translations assert God and Godliness as the only unrivalled subject that combines both truth and a fact as one. In KJV “And beyond controversy, great is the mystery of godliness”; In Amplified “And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic secret) of godliness”; In CJB “Great beyond all question is the formerly hidden truth underlying our faith”; In ERV “Without a doubt, the secret of our life of worship is great”; In GW “The mystery that gives us our reverence for God is acknowledged to be great” and In NIV “Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great”.

Godliness in this case is a matter that looks beyond the mind but the 'inner man' digesting this immeasurable truth whose fact is simply unquestionnable. The perspective of God is too logical for the mind to grasp.

To God be the Glory.
