What Are Absolutes?

Our everyday lives find structure in the thousands of things we accept as truths, from the numbers we use to the names of colors and textures. There are absolutes in the Bible, and they are constants in the spiritual realm, just as "2+2" is a constant in the physical realm.

Absolutes of God is about the Word of God and its building blocks of truth -- "the first principles of the oracles of God" (Hebrews 5:12) -- which have been forgotten or misplaced.

In our society, we have insisted that diversity is good. In reality, what we have are divisions created by an ignorance of God's definition of truth. The one Authority who can settle all arguments in the controversies that divide us is the Holy Ghost, and we have ignored Him!

God's desire is that the words He spoke become alive in His people so that He is seen in His church. God wants to be visible, not only to His church, but also to the whole world. He wants to see truth believed and lived out in front of the entire world.

Seven Absolutes of God

1. God's will for man is that he be perfect in Christ Jesus.

2. The knowledge of good and evil does not produce godly believers or healthy Christians.

3. The natural man does not receive the things of God.

4. Every believer must know the voice of God.

5. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher sent from God to indwell every believer.

6. Once we repent of our sins, we become His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

7. The Bible was written both historically and spiritually.

Excerpt from The Absolutes of God:

The 21st century church of Jesus Christ is divided by opinions and adrift upon a sea of doctrines. Anyone who claims to be an expert or a critic can hold court and sway opinions. Believers have grouped themselves together in clusters of opinion, distrusting anyone who does not see things their way. No one seems to know how to resolve the confusion.

Meanwhile, the world looks on in dismay, waiting for answers that the church does not provide. Religious fervor is not the same thing as Christianity, and substitutes for true faith will never do. As truth gets lost amidst the clamoring voices of conflicting views, little else that is spoken to the world matters. The church is trying to lift up Christ so that men are drawn to Him, but in all the confusion, Jesus is being misrepresented. It is time for a reformation.

Jesus said that the world would know His disciples by the love they have one for another. Instead of displaying love, we Christians have been busy congratulating ourselves for just sitting together in the same room without throwing punches! Have we forgotten Jesus' High Priestly prayer in John 17, asking that we become one as He and the Father are one? God says that two cannot walk together except they agree (Amos 3:3). God is talking to the church right now through what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:10:

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (KJV)

This Scripture demands an answer from today's church. Discussing religion, especially with a vision for reformation, has always been a dangerous thing to do. Believers tend to be very protective of the doctrines they hold dear, and critics who are simply being critical abound. However, true love for the true church of Jesus Christ does not demand silence. Quite the opposite, love demands judgment so that the church can once again be pure. Truth is light, and light dispels darkness. It is necessary to expose the problems so that we can seek God's answers. Denying that problems exist is no solution.
