The Opposite of Truth and Its Incompatibility With Reality: A discussion of Objective Truth

Little toddlers need to know their opposites in the physical world.  However, learning new things goes on forever!  This truth applies even to opposites.  However, the opposites that will be discussed here are a lot more abstract that the opposites that little toddlers learn.  They are Truth and Falsehood.

For every truth, there is a falsehood.  If everything in our world today was true, life would be perfect.  However, everyone knows that that is not the case.  What if everything in the world is false?  If that was true, then... AHA!  It is actually impossible for everything to be false!  This is because there is an objective truth.  If something is false, then there must be some truth to the fact that it is false.  An example of this is that if a math problem is incorrect, that fact that it is incorrect would be true.  However, if I think that it actually is correct, then there is falsehood in my opinion.  If everything in the world is false and we knew it, that acknowledgement of this falsehood would in itself be a truth.

Everyone in the world has knowledge of both true things and of false things.  Many people are aware of obvious falsehoods and are correct in this knowledge, but there are also any people that think that what they hold to be true actually is true when it is in fact not true.  Thus it is the obligation of people who truly know what is true to teach people walking in the darkness of falsehoods about the light of truth.

Since everything I just said is somewhat confusing or might even seem harshly demanding, exasperated people have started to hang firm to the false doctrines or relativism.  It has already been explained that relativist ideals are false.  However, some of the reasons why people cling to relativism are 1: If there really is not objective truth, then I may believe whatever I want to believe, and 2: If there is no objective truth, then I do not have to get out of my comfort zone and help anyone if I don`t want to.  These two reasons given above are not the only reasons for people to want relativism; there are many more.  Nevertheless, they are all rooted in the same thing: one`s own pleasure.  True leisure and happiness are really what everybody seeks for (as outlined in "Our Perfect Destiny"), and the means to attain them are actually not very appealing at first.  Nevertheless, there are ways to attain perfect happiness forever.  However, this topic will be touched on later.

Since I expounded in my last article that the entirety of Truth is actually a Who (God) and not a What, Truth`s opposite must also be some person.  And there is a person that manifests falsehood: the devil.  The Devil is a fallen angel, and his origin will be talked about later when the spiritual realms are defined and proved.  Anyways, there are actually three great occasions of sin and falsehood as there are Three Persons in God: they are the World, the Flesh, and the Devil.  These three will be discussed later.

To conclude this article, I will sum up the points that I brought up.  First of all, how there is no such thing as an absolute falsehood as there is an objective truth, because the existence of such would be a truth in itself.  As mentioned in the last article, "there is really no distinction between truth and being".  Second, the reasons why people want relativism.  Lastly, that there really is a person to stand for falsehood.  The devil, also known as the father of lies, has many allies that all aim to destroy man`s perfect destiny of eternal happiness.
