Truth certainly is relevant. The only problem is very few people concern themselves with the truth, or what is relevant. We are living in the full-blown throes of the Dark Age of Relativism.
Relativism has always been with us. It began in the Garden of Eden. It’s called LYING, believing a LIE, telling a LIE or LIES, MAKING THINGS UP THAT ARE NOT TRUE, AND BELIEVING THEY ARE TRUE.
The world is flat.
There is a wizard in a land called Oz.
Men can menstruate and give birth. That a woman imagines herself a man, a frog, a tiger, a rock, a tree, what have you and therefore she is whatever she believers herself to be.
And on and on and on and around and around and around it all goes.
Dung plugging up the works. Dung everywhere. Lies and delusion everywhere
It’s the whatever goes age. Whatever a person believes is true is then true. According to them. As if each person is the absolute Gold Standard for evaluating and determining what is true.
Relativism has superseded everything.
Even within the so-called Christian church.
In every aspect of modern life. In every institution. Throughout the business world, government, schools — you name it, and Relativism rules the minds, the majority of lost walking in utter darkness minds worldwide.
A growing number, soon reaching a majority, of those people professing to be Christian saying they love Jesus, and they are “good people,” and “good Christians” have in truth placed their feet, their focus, their scale-covered eyes on the path of Relativism and are walking downward along that way.
They refuse the truth of ALL THE SCRIPTURE. Attempting to form God in their image rather than they bowing, humbling themselves, submitting, and coming to learn and know the One True unchangeable God of the Bible. A God that is not different from the Old Testament to the New Testament. A God that is no different than He was 800,000,000 years measured as they are on earth BEFORE He said, “Let there be…” and all that is known was Created by His and His Son, Jesus Christ the Lord’s will. A God that is the very same as He was those 800,000,000 years prior to Creation, as He has been FOREVER, eternal without a beginning, without an end — AS HE IS RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT TODAY!
Yet a growing number, and soon becoming the majority of those professing to be Christian do not believe this truth. They do not believe in a God of the whole Word of God. A God of wrath. A God of judgment — failing to see that means He is the Ultimate God of Love since he rewards the faithful and obedient and judges and condemns the unfaithful, unrepentant, and disobedient. THAT folks is the ULTIMATE sign of love. Get your mind out of the New Age trash bin and begin to think about what is REALLY true.
And that doesn’t mean anyone gets to make it up as they go along. It is whatever someone says it is. It means that most truth? Is going to be something you don’t like if you are of the world lacking understanding as it is given by the Holy Spirit of God.
New Age (PAGAN) beliefs, practices have consumed the people of the world. A part of that is Relativism. Relativism is a constant voice in one’s ears and mind — and that constant voice listened to is that of Satan’s. Self. Satan’s. Self.
Not of God. Not of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not of the Holy Spirit. Not of the Holy Bible.
Want to know what is really true? Really relevant? Always? From before the beginning throughout all of eternity? Thus making anything of a nation, a culture, an event on this temporal earth not much in comparison?
Turn to the Holy Bible.
Turn to the One True God.
Not lowering Him.
Attempting to raise yourself by falling prone in humility and repentance seeking the ultimate truth, the ultimate relevance.
For there is either eternal life.
Or, the second death.
No other options are available.
Period.
If not familiar with the second death it’ll give you something to do to learn what this second death means and is. And here’s a clue. It lasts a long, long, long, LONG time and contrary to the RELATIVISM prevalent among the people of the world THERE IS A HELL, THERE IS A FINAL JUDGMENT. THERE IS AN ETERNITY FOR EVERY HUMAN’S SPIRIT. And if judged among the goats for the second death? They will not be spending that in heaven, nor having a big eternal party with their friends in hell as the blasphemous and dangerous joking of the lost walking in darkness like to laugh about.

ACP — A Crooked Path
Is Truth Irrelevant?
Who cares about facts anymore, in this age of indoctrination?

It is amazing how many people seem to have discovered last Wednesday that riots are wrong — when many of those same people apparently had not noticed that when riots went on, for weeks or even months, in various cities across the country last year.
For too many people, especially in the media, what is right and wrong, true or false, depends on who it helps or hurts politically. Too many media people who are supposed to be reporters act as if they are combatants in political wars.
Someone once said that, in a war, truth is the first casualty. That has certainly been so in the media — and in much of academia as well.
One of the most grotesque distortions growing out of this carelessness with the facts has been a removal of Abraham Lincoln’s name and statues from various places, on grounds that he saw black people only as property.
Such criticisms betray an incredible ignorance of history — or else a complete disregard of truth.
As a lawyer, Abraham Lincoln knew that there was nothing in the Constitution which authorized him or any other president to free slaves. But he also knew that a military commander in wartime can legally seize the property of an enemy nation. Defining slaves as property gave President Lincoln the only legal authority he had to seize them during the Civil War. And once they were seized as property, he could then free them as human beings.
But, if the Emancipation Proclamation had based its action on defining the slaves as human beings, with a right to be free, the Supreme Court of that era would undoubtedly have declared it unconstitutional.
Millions of human beings would have remained slaves. Would ringing rhetoric be worth that price?
As for the claim that Lincoln did not regard black people as human, he invited Frederick Douglass to the White House!
Gross distortions of history, in order to get Abraham Lincoln’s name removed from schools tells us a lot about what is wrong with American education today.
Many schools are closed because of the coronavirus and the teachers unions. And many schools in minority neighborhoods failed to teach children enough math and English, back when they were still open. So it is incredible that school authorities have time to spend on ideological crusades like removing names and statues from schools.
Unfortunately, too many American educational institutions — from elementary schools to universities — have become indoctrination centers. The riots that swept across the country last year are fruits of that indoctrination and the utter disregard for other people’s rights that accompanied those riots.
At the heart of that indoctrination is a sense of grievance and victimhood when others have better outcomes — which are automatically called “privileges” and never called “achievements,” regardless of what the actual facts are.
Facts don’t matter in such issues, any more than facts mattered when smearing Lincoln.
Any “under-representation” of any group in any endeavor can be taken as evidence or proof of discriminatory bias. But those who argue this way cannot show us any society — anywhere in the world, or at any time during thousands of years of recorded history — that had all groups represented proportionally in all endeavors.
In America’s National Hockey League, for example, there are more players from Canada than there are players from the United States. There are also more players from Sweden than from California, even though California’s population is nearly four times the population of Sweden.
Californians are more “under-represented” in the NHL than women are in Silicon Valley. But no one can claim that this is due to discriminatory bias by the NHL. It is far more obviously due to people growing up in cold climates being more likely to have ice-skating experience.
This is one of many factors that produce skewed statistics in many endeavors. Discriminatory bias is among those factors. But it has no monopoly.
Yet who cares about facts any more, in this age of indoctrination?
