When we say, "Truth is a Person,"we are already accepting, without reservations, the grid established bythe very ones you see as being "problematic," the Nicene fathers. Get it?jt: No Bill, you are the one who does not "get it"I am not quoting the Nicene fathers when I say that "Truth" is a person.I am quoting John 14:16. The words of Jesus Himself where he says"I Am the Truth"They are the ones who invented the word "person" to express whattheir language could not otherwise say about the Godhead and Jesus Christ.That word spills down to us. We use it today to speak wonderful truthsabout the Word of God.jt: I don't need the Nicene Fathers to spill wonderful truths ABOUT theWord of God down to me. I have the Word of God and the promiseto lead me into ALL truth.

The first time your hear it, it is prettycool, because we are conditioned to think of truth in other categories. BUT theword "person" is not found in the Text, nor is there a Greek equivalent.jt: The Greeks don't have all the answers ... Is it a PERSON who said:"I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life?"wt: So what do we do? Do we say it is an unbiblical idea?jt: No...wt: That's all that I'm asking. More than that, I am trying to get us tolighten up a bit on our criticisms about early Christianity and the languagewhich came from their era.

You lost me Bill. Where else? Science, BoM, politics, Rev. Moon? Surely you do not mean there are other sources of truth comparable to the Bible.
