KNOW THE TRUTH - "The Nature of Truth!" January 1st, 2019
Excerpt -
Truth is Absolute.
We need to understand that this Book is truth and that truth is absolute. I
did not originate this story, nor do I know who did, but it makes a perfect
illustration concerning the absolute nature of truth.
“A businessman was interviewing applicants for the position of divisional
manager. He devised a simple test to select the most suitable person for the
job. He asked each applicant the question, “What is two and two?” The first
interviewee was a journalist. His answer was “twenty two”.
The second applicant was an
engineer. He pulled out a calculator and showed the answer to be between
3.999 and 4.001. The next person was a lawyer. He stated that in the case of
Jenkins v. Commissioner of Stamp Duties, two and two was proven to be four.
The last applicant was an accountant. The businessman asked him, “How much
is two and two?” The accountant got up from his chair, went over to the
door, closed it then came back and sat down. He leaned across the desk and
said in a low voice, “How much do you want it to be?”
Unlike this humorous story, truth is not relative. Absolutes cannot be
circumvented without great consequences; to both the public and the
individual.
