Proof The Truth

Does anyone have the “absolute” truth? Does anyone even know what the absolute truth is? This question has plagued religious experts and philosophers since the idea that there was something bigger than us popped into the minds of humans. Does this absolute one truth really exist or is this “absolute truth differ from person to person. Now let’s look at some major issues with this idea:

Ø  Proof:  Almost every major religion has claimed they are the one truth. The biggest problem with this is proof. None of them have concrete proof that they are right. Many will run to their nearest scripture or holy writings and claim that is proof. That is not evidence that you’re correct if you are all claiming truth and there can only be one who is right someone has to be wrong. You can’t use scripture as proof because all are claiming the truth and all have scripture and no one has proof beyond the scripture they are the correct truth.

Ø  Anyone can claim truth: This is the one of the major ones. Anyone can claim they have the truth. One person can claim they are the correct path and how do you know if they are the truth honestly you don’t. Scripture can be matched scripture when it comes down to it. Christians can whip out the Bible and Hindus can whip out The Gita or The Vedas so on so forth. Truth can be claimed by anyone but proving you have that truth is a different story.

Ø  What if you’re wrong? Say you go through your whole life believing you have it and you die and come to find out you were wrong? What if you live as Hindu find out you were supposed to be Muslim? What if you live as Christian and supposed to find out you were supposed to be Buddhist? What if your absolute truth was an absolute mistake then what?? Honestly the only ones you have to worry about if you’re wrong is Islam and Christianity (lol). All other religions you will probably just get reincarnated if you are wrong.

Let’s go on the basis that there is one truth an only one how could we possibly find out where to find this “truth”.  Many Christians use that Jesus was real and there is documents that support this therefore Christianity is the one true faith because its founder really lived. The Buddha was also real and yes there are documents (proving even in more detail than Jesus I believe) he lived. I’ve heard The Bible has been around for a long time and it’s survived throughout the ages so it’s more reliable. Christianity is one of the later religions Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism came long before Christianity so if the life span makes it more creditable Hinduism is the most (not saying it is just for argument sake).  The truth is we cannot find this truth because this “one truth” does no exist.

My closing thoughts: Honestly I think this “absolute truth” is different for every person. I believe they all have their own truths. Who’s to say their way is the right way? We all have our own truths and our own spiritual journeys. I believe God puts all on different spiritual journeys to experience a relationship with God itself that is personal and meaningful to us. I believe someone can be a Hindu and connect with God just as much as Christian praying in a church. God is everywhere; religions and different spiritual beliefs are God’s way of reaching out and having a relationship with us in our own special way.
