Truth is... I'm sorry

 Your truth. My truth. They/Them/Their truth. Is truth subjective?  What is truth? 

Truth: 

A person somewhere at some time hurt you.  A person claiming to be a Christian disappointed you. The church failed.  It was not a little mistake, and it was not one mistake.   I'm sorry. 

Truth:

 Christians and religious people have been messing up since the beginning of time.  I'm sorry.

Truth:

The founders of the United States did great things, but they were also called "men of the night."  That means exactly what you think it does.   Our country, a land built on the premise of religious freedom, was built by men who were less than wholesome.   I'm sorry. 

Truth:

During the Great Awakening, evangelical ministers opposed slavery, but by the early decades of the 19th century, they got it twisted.  Leaders convinced slave owners that converting their slaves would make them more obedient.   They should have taken a stand for freedom in Christ, and instead, they enabled slave owners. I'm sorry. 

Truth:

The Civil Rights Movement was a time for the love of Christ to reign through darkness. Instead, some denominational leaders taught that African Americans resulted from the "Curse of Ham." I'm sorry.

Truth:

Some churches seem judgemental, others fake, and a few even cultish. I'm sorry.  The purpose of organized worship is to worship Jesus as a group, not to worship other humans.   

Truth:

Jesus.  The Bible says that "..the word became flesh." (John 1:14). Jesus became the embodiment of the Bible.   Jesus brought the Bible to life.  Jesus is truth.  Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6)  The Bible is the truth.  I'm sorry if someone who was supposed to show you the love of Christ failed. 

Truth:

People hurt each other, and it is hard to tell the truth from a lie.  I'm sorry.

 When you search for your bearing, your truth, remember - Jesus is the truth.  The Bible is the truth. Anything that contradicts the Word of God is untruth.  God does not lie.
