"telling God’s own truth" Tremendously convincing.

• amelius 5y ago
  As opposed to alternative truths.

    Just as long as a stack of bibles is involved.

      The use of "God" in that statement refers to an objective source. While I'm not a fan of the phrase, it clearly means an absolute truth. No bibles necessary.

        > The use of "God" in that statement refers to an objective source. Do tell.
        • boomboomsubban 5y ago
          Like I said, it means a supposed absolute truth. As there is no objective source, you can use a term for what would be an objective source, "god."
          • adolph 5y ago
            "[A] supposed absolute truth" Is that like a redundancy (absolute and truth) wrapped in a contradiction (supposed and absolute truth)? If there is no such thing (i.e. no objective source) why would one use any term for it? Why would one modify truth to be "god's own?" Is it a rhetorical claim to the authority/authenticity of an unseen third party?
            • boomboomsubban 5y ago
              It's a cutesy way of saying the actual truth. Language is full of such ridiculous contradictions used to express things, I wouldn't use this one but I don't see how it is particularly objectionable.

  If God is for us, who could be against us?
