According To President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's View Of Truth?

Breaking Out of the Grid The article Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey, gives readers a clear perspective how to approach life from two different angles when helping others making decisions in difficult situations. It is interesting how Pearcey explains in simple words the breakthrough, uncovering Christianity as the absolute truth. However, she also explains that truth is culturally relative, which means it is limited to the conditions of knowledge of ideas and beliefs.

J.P. Moreland’s book, Kingdom Triangle, asserts the irreplaceable role of knowledge in the Church’s duty of guiding the world out of darkness and into what the author calls “life indeed”. Moreland presents the human race as a lost people in search of truth. In life, truth holds the ultimate authority because it remains the end goal. The world constantly looks for a guide in the search of life’s ultimate meaning. Any individual, any idea can quickly become a source of hope for the lost. Religious movements claim to answer life’s greatest question. Each apparent truth works to prove a different meaning to life, a unique way to live and a grander story to captivate any audience willing to listen. Social trends attempt to fill the soul’s emptiness by providing a safety net within the confines of conformity. Scientific studies and technological advances relentlessly push the limits of the definition of possible in order to be enough, whatever that may mean. All missions point back to one ultimate mission, the quest toward an abundant life. But all fall short. Knowledge provides an individual with the right to power and authority and the lack of knowledge eliminates an individual from the same positions. An individual exudes knowledge in the ability to represent a topic with clarity, purpose, expertise and experience. It is about representing well. When the Christian receives the gift of salvation and eternal life, he or she takes on the responsibility of representing knowledge of

The Narrow Line of Belief Godliness, as well as the doctrine of one’s faith, is always a mystery. Many believe that man comes nearer to God through their piety and doubt given towards Him. From this rests faithful talk. One’s faith and doubt leads to humanity asking for answers. Yet, sometimes one’s faith may not reveal the true answers, moreover, recognize answers relinquished to them.

Does knowledge always reveal the truth? In the short story “By the Waters of Babylon” by Stephen Vincent Benet, the reader is introduced to the narrator, John, who is on his journey to become a priest. John lives in a society where knowledge is only given to people of high rank, like himself. On his journey to become a priest John is given the knowledge he needs to go on his quest, where he eventually reveals the ultimate truth. The knowledge that John receives before his journey is very important to him, and helps him to discover the ultimate truth about the Place of the Gods.

The path from ignorance to knowledge can look different for each individual. The pursuit of truth emerges as a fundamental aspect that guides our journey towards enlightenment. This pursuit not only leads people to truth, but to a broader understanding of how things work. This involves an individual to pursue the truth, question authority, and transform once one has finally broken from ignorance. These themes are explored through Sophocle’s play Antigone, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, and the biblical passage Sermon on the Mount.

Truth allows humans to stand-alone. When they find truth they are able to be one against the whole. "Being in a minority even a minority of one did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not

Although the ultimate truth from God never changes, people’s rules and thought change. For this reason, as people change their standard and laws away from God’s truth, they face difficulties. To get through difficulties, people tried to find better way from their thinking. Even though people know that trading the truth with lies bring only destruction, they reject the truth. Furthermore, they say that the truth is the one brings destruction to the world. Because of their wrong focus to solve the problem, they get into deeper problem. The book of Schaeffer, “Escape from Reason” and other book of Wiker, “10 Books That Screwed up the World and 5 Others That Didn’t Help”

At times, the specific religious traditions, practices, and beliefs of the past are not enough to fill the spiritual void of the modern human being. Even more, a single religion alone may not hold all of the answers to satisfy one’s desire for enlightenment, and many choose a new path. This is the path that led to the creation of the religious denomination of Unitarian Universalism.

A man once told me that there is no truth in this world. All the ideas such as Math, Science, Language, and even society is all made up. That the only reason two plus two equals four is based solely off of one man saying it does, and society agreeing with it blindly. But I tell you that there is no such thing as truth, but that itself is a truth.

The next heresy that we must cover is that of “pluralism”. Religious pluralism is the belief that all roads lead to heaven. This belief has been propagated by such prominent figures such as, Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Joel Osteen, and Pope Francis. This is a toxic idea that upon reaching its conclusion, destroys truth. If everything is true, then why believe anything at all? Now we must move to the final heresy plaguing America.

The Book of John, and the life and death of Jesus Christ are key components of the authors evidence to back up his ways of solving the issues of Christian worldviews. Along with this, the author includes testimonials of his friends that specifically dealt with real-life issues in conflict with their Christian views as well.

“. . . it's not meant for man to know more than was given to him to know by the Lord in the first place. The fruit of that tree was forbidden to man.” Keyes (1959, p.107)

The first issue is what actually is truth? There are many things that we perceive to be true, depending on perspective or our beliefs, which differ from one person to the next, known as
