INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS TRUTH?
TOUGH QUESTION. LET'S START WITH AN EASIER ONE. WHERE IS TRUTH?
IT DEPENDS.
WHAT KIND OF TRUTH ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? TRUTH HAS DIFFERENT MEANINGS DEPENDING ON THE CONTEXT.
DO YOU MEAN "TRUE" IN THE SENSE OF SOUND ENGINEERING AND PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION?
EXAMPLE 1: THIS DOOR WON'T SHUT. I THINK THE FRAME ISN'T TRUE
EXAMPLE 2: THE TRUE NORTH IS NOT THE SAME AS THE MAGNETIC NORTH.
EXAMPLE 3: THE SPOKE OF A WHEEL MUST BE EQUALLY TIGHTENED FOR THE WHEEL TO BE BALANCED AND TRUE.
DO YOU MEAN "TRUE" IN THE SENSE OF HONESTY?
EXAMPLE 1: IS IT TRUE THAT SUE SCORES TOP OF HER CLASS?
EXAMPLE 2: WINNING THE MEDAL WAS LIKE A DREAM COMING TRUE.
EXAMPLE 3: THE ALLEGATIONS, IF TRUE, COULD LEAD TO HIS RESIGNATION.
DO YOU MEAN "TRUE" IN THE SENSE OF HISTORIC EVENTS?
EXAMPLE 1: THE MOVIE IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY OF A LONDON GANGSTER.
EXAMPLE 2: I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS TRUE AND ACCURATE.
DO YOU MEAN "TRUE" WITH REGARD TO PERSONHOOD, THE STATUS OF BEING A PERSON?
EXAMPLE: JESUS CHRIST SAID, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE."
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSONIFICATION OF TRUTH ITSELF - THE SINGULAR INCARNATION OF TRUTH. IN ALL HISTORY ONLY ONE PERSON MADE SUCH A CLAIM AND VALIDATED THE CLAIM WITH A PHYSICAL RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD. THE COLOUR RED DENOTES THE BLOODY SACRIFICIAL DEATH WHICH JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
WHEREVER YOU FIND IT, TRUTH IS ROOTED IN REALITY. TRUTH IS REALITY. IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO PERSONAL OPINION.
WE WILL EXPLORE THE FOUR ARENAS OF TRUTH USING A PYRAMID STRUCTURE AND STARTING WITH THE PHYSICAL, TANGIBLE WORLD. THEN WE MOVE UP, TO THE INTANGIBLE, THE HISTORIC AND FINALLY TO THE INTERPERSONAL BUILDING A HIERARCHY OF TRUTH. AS WE MOVE UP POPULAR CONSENSUS NARROWS, FORMING THE SHAPE OF A PYRAMID COMPRISED OF 49 TILES.
WHEN WE CLICK ON A TILE A LIGHTBOX WITH NOTES APPEARS. THE NOTE ON THE TOP IS THE TRUTH STATEMENT ITSELF. THE NOTE ON THE BOTTOM SHOWS ITS ORIGIN WITH REFERENCES AND SOMETIMES, VIDEO LINKS.
ALL TILES EXCEPT FOR THE PEAK ARE VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL RECTANGLES. HORIZONTAL TILES ARE FILLED WITH UNIVERSAL TRUTHS ARRANGED WITH THE OLDEST TRUTH STATEMENTS ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH LAYER. VERTICAL TILES ARE DIRECT QUOTES ABOUT TRUTH FROM THE BIBLE.
WHY THE BIBLE? IT IS THE MOST TRANSLATED BOOK OF ALL TIME. "THE BIBLE IS A RELIABLE COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS WRITTEN BY EYEWITNESSES DURING THE LIFETIME OF OTHER EYEWITNESSES. THEY REPORT SUPERNATURAL EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN FULFILLMENT OF SPECIFIC PROPHECIES AND THEY CLAIM THAT THEIR WRITINGS ARE DIVINE RATHER THAN HUMAN IN ORIGIN." (DR. VODDIE BAUCHAM)
