Truth
Tonight we began a discussion about truth. Absolute truth. Subjective truth. Truth.
I talked about creating a list of things that you believe (if you dont know why you believe what you believe, you probably dont believe anything).
As many have done (in creeds, statements of faith, etc...), I ask you to tell us something you know to be truth (in the absolute sense) and why you believe it.

Creed - Rich Mullins
I believe in God the Father almighty
Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ
His only begotten Son, our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried
And I believe what I believe
Is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not
The invention of any man
I believe that He who suffered
Was crucified, buried, and dead
He descended into hell and
On the third day, rose again
He ascended into Heaven where
He sits at God's mighty right hand
I believe that He's returning to
Judge the quick and the dead
Of the sons of men
I believe in God the Father almighty
Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son,
Our Lord
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church, the communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends

Nicene Creed
We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Creed has some really great songs. I wish that Scott Stapp guy hadn't broken up the band like that and went all crazy. Were that Nicene guy and that Mullins guy in Creed too?

Wade: the nicenes were anything but nice, the play on words clearly eludes you...AHH the irony that this post is about truth.
Griswold: Great link...a genius must have showed you that...why do they only use 2 liters. Visit my personal blog "shannoncooper.blogspot.com" for a few clever sites to dull your mind and further erode truth.
Anyone believe that perception is reality???
