Jesus Is The Truth. Jesus said; "I am the way and 'the truth' and the life. ... John 14:6 -- DENNIS KOLB, WARRENTON 2 3
We hold this truth to be self evident. The proud helots, serfs and slaves of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land detest, loath and hate the mere mention of truth concerning a land of liberty. The ecclesiastical propagating malefactors (media) in this election cycle promote uniquely the Lucifarian High Priestess by calling evil good, and good evil, putting darkness for light, and light for darkness and putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter - all of which is antithetical to truth ! ! ! -- Mike, Norwalk 4 1
We've drifted a long long way from the truth. Here we are in a not so "Brave New World". -- bruski, naples FL 4
Reminds me of the 1964 election. Goldwater told the truth, LBJ lied as always. LBJ won by the biggest landslide known at the time. -- Cal, Lewisville, TX 4
The truth is that religion is man made. The truth is that those speaking it are called conspiracy freaks. From WMD and throwing babies out incubators, the list is very long. This presidential race to the White House must take the cake for lies, lies, and lies. The government and the MSM can no longer be trusted - the truth has become an anathema in our society - it seems a paycheck (blood money) and political based donation are tearing at the very fabric of our country. The truth will overcome and, it will not be religiously based, it will be from the very heart and sole of the people. I may not live to see that day but hopefully our children will.... -- RBE, Florida 2
The "girdle of truth" protects the internal organs. Put on the whole armor of God, which He provides. Threskos,(pure) religion, is based in/on and through Natural laws of nature. The natural law of morality. Threskeia,(superficial) religion is state and church sanctioned, indoctrination of socialism and slavery. -- Ronw13, Oregon 2 1
When telling the truth is labeled 'hate-speech,' not because it is false but because it condemns the liar, we make a criminal out of the truth-teller. The real criminal escapes while the whistleblower is called a racist or anti-Semitic (tricks of the trade) -- there is no defense against a fallacious, ad hominem attack, the damage is in its inference, not in proof. Lies are real hate speech. The Truth cuts like a knife -- that's why it is best tempered with Love. ;-) -- E Archer, NYC 4
Censorship is like a dam that concentrates power — once the dam breaks, the damage is proportional to the amount held in the reservoir. Everything built below the original water line is destroyed, and there is no more power from the dam. That's why we hear the censors say that allowing free speech is "dangerous" and "a threat to 'our' democracy". The truth IS dangerous to those who depend upon the power of the lie and all they have built upon its dried up shores. -- E Archer, NYC 2
I love anyone who speaks the truth, and someday I would like to meet someone else who speaks the truth. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
It might more accurately be said: The further an individual drifts from truth, the more he will hate those who speak it. Society is a legal fiction — often used as a measuring device to divert and obscure spirit, inalienable rights, liberty, nature's law and that which is truth. Merry Christmas — each and every one. -- Mike, Norwalk
The self-deluded cannot tell the truth, therefore they cannot recognize the truth. A steady diet of BS results in being full of it. -- E Archer, NYC 1
2+2=4 Mr Archer -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
