More Thoughts on--“Is All Music Created Equal?”—part 5

In St. John 17:17 he declares, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”  This verse does not say that the Logos (3056) is not said to be “a truth” but rather Alethia (225) verity or what Francis Schaffer calls “true truth”.  Pluralism admits multiple ‘truths’ at the same time and purports that these ‘truths’ may be opposing truths.  The result of this lackluster philosophical notion is the belief that there is no objective truth.  Without true objective truth faith in Christ is nothing more than a joke. 

If Christians are unable to trust God’s Word, then faith in Christ becomes an unfounded notion.  Romans 8:16 declares, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”  1John 5:6 further declares, “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.”  So, when the gullible Christian musician is duped into believing that there is no objective truth, then the witness of the Spirit is no longer reliable.  Under such a false notion, the Christian musician is unable to trust the witness of the Spirit.  Faith then is unfounded because it is not based on the verity of God’s Word.

Thought for the Day

Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”  Although the world makes fun of faith based music philosophy, it is impossible to please God without it.
