Therefore, the question arises, “Who or what created truth? Does God exist?” To answer these questions I will use the Truth Finding Method also discussed in Two Kinds of Truth. Once again that Method is: Objective Evidence + Real Faith = Truth The Truth Finding Method is used …
Recently my wife told me about a friend of hers who didn’t feel that the Bible was necessarily complete. She felt that there were “more books” to discover. For this reason she’s open to considering such books as: The Book of Enoch, The Gospel of Thomas, The Apocalypse of Peter, The Epistle of Barnabas, The Gospel of Judas, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene and other historical literature as potential scripture.
