The Possessors Of Absolute Truths

There are two kinds of absolute truths: worldly truths and other-worldly truths.

God, the Father, Jesus, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Mary, the Virgin Mother of Christ, the angels and the most holy saints, possess both truths [1] and we possess our own worldly truths [2].  We cannot re-write our worldly truths that time has cemented.  Time recalls every moment of every truth, but we have dominion over our truths that time has yet to see and record.  In other words, we have total control over the formation of such truths [3].  The epic struggle between God and Satan for our souls rages on continuously in this formative stage -- our every next moment of truth.  Throughout this life-long battle, unyielding faith in the Lord is our weapon and prayers become our shield.  Be conscious of every moment that passes: it is permanent and eternal if Satan wins.




[1] Knowing such truths does not necessarily mean knowing the timing of these truths.  Only God knows when any such truth would be realized.
[2] We do not possess other-worldly truths.  Only by the grace of God are we allowed to know a little, the rest we have to accept on faith.
[3] Free Choice is not affected by the existence of our own worldy truths.  Recall an analogy where the father places a plate of ice-cream and a plate of vegetables in front of his young son.  Even though the son can choose freely, the father knows beforehand he will choose ice-cream over vegetables.  Taking this analogy one step further, a question arises.  Are we ever able to surprise our father some day by choosing vegetables over ice-cream?  One day, when we know what is good for us, when we are able to overcome the sweetness of tantalizing temptations, we could surprise him, just as we could surprise our heavenly Father.
