What was Jesus response when Pilate asked him "what is truth" | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 21656968 United States 11/21/2012 07:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | (1991.5) 185:3.5 Then said Pilate, half in ridicule and half in sincerity, “Truth, what is truth — who knows?” Quoting: UB(1991.6) 185:3.6 Pilate was not able to fathom Jesus’ words, nor was he able to understand the nature of his spiritual kingdom, but he was now certain that the prisoner had done nothing worthy of death. One look at Jesus, face to face, was enough to convince even Pilate that this gentle and weary, but majestic and upright, man was no wild and dangerous revolutionary who aspired to establish himself on the temporal throne of Israel. Pilate thought he understood something of what Jesus meant when he called himself a king, for he was familiar with the teachings of the Stoics, who declared that “the wise man is king.” Pilate was thoroughly convinced that, instead of being a dangerous seditionmonger, Jesus was nothing more or less than a harmless visionary, an innocent fanatic. (1991.7) 185:3.7 After questioning the Master, Pilate went back to the chief priests and the accusers of Jesus and said: “I have examined this man, and I find no fault in him. I do not think he is guilty of the charges you have made against him; I think he ought to be set free.” And when the Jews heard this, they were moved with great anger, so much so that they wildly shouted that Jesus should die; and one of the Sanhedrists boldly stepped up by the side of Pilate, saying: “This man stirs up the people, beginning in Galilee and continuing throughout all Judea. He is a mischief-maker and an evildoer. You will long regret it if you let this wicked man go free.” [link to www.urantia.org] |

John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. |

No one knows the truth, and no one knows which way the wind blows. It blows in a circle. Truth is the garden. But truth is also left up to the people, who define it. We have the ability to create other universes after life on earth has been extinguished. Truth is what we make it. Truth is nothing, really. Like the wind. |
Ohwow! User ID: 16023386 United States 11/21/2012 08:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Jesus was not going to answer him, how could he? Pilate could not see because He had not been called into that Kingdom, if he had, he would have been able to answer his own question Pilate had sought this answer through all the philosophy of his time, and most of mens philosophy only questions but never answers in the affirmitive. He was not as the Christians were, so sure so knowing - not by their own knowledge, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, that they would rather die than recant the Truth for a lie, or now days, for an ecumenical wishy washy Jesus that just wants to hug everyone and there really is no sin, just a bad day and make up their own Jesus to bless them in their chosen sins - after all, others have done worse it seems Ask any true Christian this question, they know the answer. Jesus - Pilate would have known, if he were one of His |

We need this wind. This wind is the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth. [link to niv.scripturetext.com] |

Truth is not literal it is a understanding of the world, With love you will awaken to the real truth of the world and able to see the truth. As you feed your soul with the oil of truth it will light the world. With this light you can understand the truth more and more. Truth is we are all gods children and we are all brothers and sisters, and to only think your brother or sister is the biological person you are related to then you are wrong. we should help our brothers with ever penny, and thing we can do for them. Because this world is made by god it is a giant illusion a test if you will. So god can see who truly has enuff love in there heart to find truth and pass this test and get the keys to heaven to be with the king of kings. We could never be worthy for this honor but god loves us sooo much he died for us so we could get the chance to walk side by side with him, hug him and be his child in heaven. This is a love which we can only wish to see one day and the only way is to feel the light of our soul with love and with this we could light up the world to see the truth, and with the truth we can get the keys to Gods Kingdom. |
