Truth

Pilate famously asked Jesus, "What is truth?" (John 18:38). That's a great question!

I think there is a twofold answer to that question. On the one hand, truth is anything that is true! Truth is truth by virtue of it being true! But there's another answer as well. Jesus said "I am ...the truth" (John 14:6).

Jesus also said, "you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32). I believe that we can take this in both senses of the word truth. Truth sets us free, and Jesus sets us free. We can know what the truth is, and we can know Jesus! I think that's awesome! So I guess I have one question for you. Are you free? Really free? If not, you could be.

  2. Hi there!

    Sorry for taking so long to get back to you - I've been away for a while! I think I know what you're going to say, because I used to think that as well! BUT... I could be wrong. Let me know what you think, and I'm happy to discuss it with you. Could I start with a question for you? Do you think being gay is wrong in itself, ot is it the case that gay men should just live celibate lives?

    Take care, and God bless!
