There doesn’t seem to be any way to prove, confirm or deny what thousands of groups claim is true. How is one able to discern truth from falsehood?

Q     There doesn’t seem to be any way to prove, confirm or deny what thousands of groups claim is true. How is one able to discern truth from falsehood?

 

A     Yahshua said in John 17:17, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” The Bible is the basis for all truth and not tradition or church creed. The Bible harmonizes, meaning one verse will never contradict another. The Old Testament does not contradict the New Testament. If you hear of a doctrine someone is pushing, before you should embrace it as truth you should check it against all other related Scriptures. Check the context of a verse and then check it against the Hebrew or Greek behind the translation. That will catch most flaws.  Most focus on just the New Testament, ignoring the Old Testament that gives foundation to the New Testament. They also embrace the errors of traditional teaching that grew out of compromise with pagan beliefs and philosophies. The Bible comes as a unit, and the Old Testament is the basis from which even Yahshua and His disciples taught; there was no New Testament in their day.

We emphasize to the beginner to learn the Scriptures well and test every teaching.

Do we think we have all the Truth? Of course not, nobody does. But we believe we have the basic salvation truths correct, and that is what really matters.
