Good Questions

Another way to go about putting this crucial concept to work for you is through the asking of simple yet deeply profound and significant questions.

	In a day when relative language games are being
	played and strongly encouraged, it's important to know
What do you	the intended meaning of terms. This question helps
mean?	bring clarification whereby meaningful communication
	can take place. Discern the intent by asking this
(Define terms)	simple question. The second question simply
	seeks to identify the source being relied on to make
How do you	authoritative truth claims. Many don't seem to take
know?	the time to put a finger on exactly what method is
	being employed to come to a general worldview or a
(Identify source)	specific opinion on some particular issue. The third
	question is equally important. After one's identified
How good's your	the authority source, it is wise to consider the
source?	quality of that source. For example, the Big Bang
	THEORY is far from observed fact, while the
(Identify quality)	universally observed Law of Biogenesis (life
	always comes from life) is undisputed - except
What if you're	by those believing in evolution theory. Science is
wrong?	the specific method used in this case. What are the
	many limitations of this good knowledge method?
(Consequence)	The final question's fair. If it's truth we're sincerely
	after, this "What if you're wrong?" question
	is an excellent question. What are the
	fruits if one chooses a faulty truth foundation?

Let's make this practical, but let's use a significant issue - we don't want to waste each other's time.

(Recalling our statement on our Home Page, “Once the multiple methods of truth have been fairly considered, we can then--and all do--go on to embrace certain methods as more authoritative than others given how they fare through this initial allowing-the-sources-to-initially-define-themselves inquiry." And it’s here where we begin to do just that – to acknowledge an outside-of-the-box, transcendent truth source that has a high regard for truth.)

On what grounds does one reject the historical record of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead? If, based upon secondary hearsay (a source frequently used to make decisions), one chooses to reject this event, the consequences are big, actually, eternal--given the teaching of the biblical source. If you are interested in spiritual truths that are much more significant than many other truths, read a source that claims truth and has a high regard for truth. Read the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament for a strong history of this great man of history - Jesus Christ. You'll be impressed with who you see. Many who have taken this journey have been surprised as to who this Jesus Christ really is. Meet this unique man of history again, or possibly for the very first time. Meet Him through the reading of a primary source absolutely committed to the truth as to who He is and what He's like, including how much He loves you.
