I played 2 truths and 1 lie recently.. and it’s fascinating to observe that the more outrageous the truth, the more believable the lie. It was very hard to discern what was truth and what was the lie.

Thank you! One of my favorites! I went to Summit ministries before starting college at a liberal arts school, and the tools they gave me really helped me defend truth and the Christian faith in the classroom. Thank you Summit for your work!!!

One of the things that used to stump me in conversations about Truth in my younger years was the statement; ‘There’s no such thing as absolute truth!’ It was Dr William Lane Craig who showed me the perfect answer to this seemingly unassailable contention, which he did thus:- This is a logical implausibility, because it is itself an absolute declaration and therefore cannot be true to its own dictates. That’s as close to his words that I can recall , but I saw at once what he meant; The declaration is self denying, because it is an declaration of an absolute truth, which cannot be true, because its own dictum insists that it cannot be a true statement, because it is itself an absolute statement and therefore cannot be true. Logically therefore, there MUST BE absolute truth! I learned a ‘smart Alec’ counter to this contention, which is to ask anyone who says this; “Are you ABSOLUTELY certain about that?” but I rarely use it because it is a form of mockery of the other person and is a kind of cheap shot, which is not really productive in any philosophical conversation. I think it’s far more productive to address it in the longer form answer, as it forces the person to consider the logical reason as to why it cannot possibly be true.

John 1:14-18. Grace and Truth are two sides of the same coin. If we have grace uncoupled from truth this will lead to license. If we have truth uncoupled from grace this will lead to legalism. In Jesus Christ He is both and brings them together for us through His Word and His Spirit. Thank you for bringing these concepts together to remind us to walk in both grace and truth. Your books and podcasts are tremendous reinforces of grace and truth-Jesus!

Great show - I don't often agree with what you place on your show- but I know what this guys said is under God. And I've had a tough time my entire life hearing that Truth - is truth cause it isn't - and nice is not kindness - not God's kindness anyway. Nice is often NOT kind because it allows deception and hatred to thrive because being nice means saving yourself; your own well-being; your own best interests - truly being kind is supporting God's True Kindness- which is all Truth not a comfort tool called "truth".

Great episode! Thanks, Alisa and Jeff!

Living your truth? Aren’t we supposed to be living his truth, Bible truth? Every religion, every denomination feels they have the truth and they must live that truth. Technology as it is today there is enough information out there if we search for more truth but we must be wise to our adversaries who is very deceptive.

The Gospel is also hate speech to people that wanna work to get into heaven. Galatians 4 29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

This topic is so en pointe!

Excellent discussion, ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT POINT at about the half way mark and the statement that you have the right to your truth if you can sway the opinion your way. This is indeed a form of right by might, a right is subjective (personal) until enforced and then it's objective (public). First right by might is the natural law, this is why the creator is called the Almighty because he has the absolute right to any right and the absolute power to enforce them. The necessary is the object of the contingent subject and here we come to the power of God to enforce by what we observe to be facts and the statements of fact which are TRUTH if true. We observe male and female that's objective and an identity marker, if we deny that we cannot have integrity in our judgements and will have psychological damage, moreover we cannot convince anyone of this even if they choose to believe it because they damage themselves and therefore lacking any common integrity it cannot be dignified and the loss of dignity literally adds insult to injury.

Also, to have IDENTITY You must be able to make true statements about yourself in regard to ORIGIN, MEANING, MORALITY, and DESTINY, those true statements must be lived in INTEGRITY and if those true statements are common to all men by nature you will have DIGNITY and IF YHVHJESUS IS INDEED LORD that is starting point and ending point he gives you IDENTITY and his recognition of you is your dignity (sheep and the goats, he dignifies the sheep for there integrity of respect for the identity of the least of these his brethren).

great alisa

Honest brilliant

Perhaps a good question to ask all those who hide behind SUBJECTIVITY in their ethics is: What IS "Immoral"? Define it. (what will they say? and then, what will you say? Food for thought).

Satan is called the "father of all lies", there's no truth in him, so if you want to find real truth, pay close attention to what Satan attacks. A few of his biggest threats are the bible and born again believers. If he can get people to think the bible isn't true, and that there are many paths to God, then he goes a long way in accomplishing his goal of keeping as many as possible from finding truth.

From Dr. Jeff's Office: Thanks for the question Kotryna. Rodney Stark outlines his methodology in “God’s Handiwork: The Religious Origins of Science,” chap. 2 in For the Glory of God: How Monotheism Led to Reformations, Science, Witch-Hunts, and the End of Slavery (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2003), 160-63. Of the fifty-two scientists Stark examined, half were Catholic and half were Protestant. Only two, Edmund Halley and Paracelsus, qualified as skeptics. Stark concludes that Halley was probably an atheist.

Would this be a good book for an atheist who loves all these topics ?

I appreciate that this conversation is taking place. But, the fact that it is, is a sad commentary on our society. Yes, social media is problematic…

The idea that love equals unquestioning affirmation for everything a person does is not realistic and actually divides instead of unites. We have all loved someone who is doing things we can't celebrate or have been loved by someone who couldn't condone something we were doing. Love often means having to call someone out on bad behavior so they don't wind up hurting themselves or others.

Atheists cannot explain how accidental cell #1 could create MUCH MUCH better cell #2 that would require massive coding improvements. I read about their guess about cell #1 and the article jumped right to known multicellular organisms that fossils exist for.

There is only one truth. Either it's true or it's not. It should not be altered, then it will become false. So the claim, "My truth" does not quite make sense.

Shermer's position is a faith poison. And I've seen it from others who want to deny when science points to God. Trust the science long enough and *eventually* it will support what they want it to support. But for now you have to trust that it will get there.

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit is our Teacher. I have found that to be true. The Bible has no meaning in itself without interpretation by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is an artifact of the world. Jesus is the equivalent of the Holy Spirit when you say he is truth. "I am with you always." The priests and nurses that cared for the sick during The Plague knew that the truth set them free from sickness. So faith comes from truth and our connection or yoke to God and that is always in the present. Jesus said the truth that is real is not in the physical world. "Judge not by appearance but judge by righteous judgment." We use the tools of this world to help each other, so the helping is what is real, the love, which is not visible. "We are on the earth but not of the earth." Shame and guilt are the antithesis of love that come from fear of punishment Forgiveness ends shame and allows love to come through us. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. "When people think they are part of this world, they try to change the world to be happy, but the way to be happy is to change your mind about the world because mind is what we are.

Dr. Myers, you're WRONG about changing people's minds in social media comment sections. I'm sure you'll read this comment and change your mind right away :-)

I love this channel. I am baffled by progressive christianity. Why would you bother claiming to be a Christian when you don't view truth as Christ did. Jesus made A LOT of claims that are in direct conflict with progressive Christianity. Why bother? I don't get it. Just follow your truth (closer to Buddhism or New Age than any semblance of Christianity).

Regarding the comment that Bible doesn’t say we have to be nice when we talk to others about tough subjects, it also doesn’t say we need to be unkind.

When will you be interviewing some of the wealthy pastors who have become rich beyond their means by conning their followers? When Jesus told people to sell all they have and give it to the poor in order to follow him, why are these pastors doing the opposite to what Jesus wanted them to do by flying in private Jets? Now that's what I call a sin, and you should be questioning these pastors.

You need evidence for something to be a truth and their is no evidence that proves god.

Dr Myers says that he objects tot the following statement from another academic: 'You are entitled to your own facts if you can make them stick." But isn't this approach of organized religion eg. the biblical flood, the ark, talking snakes and asses, a man living inside a fish for three days? Dr Myers' attitude seems to be "My truth is THE truth: what you believe to be your truth is merely a mass of ill-co-ordinated and uncorroborated opinions." Furthermore stating that "the truth is a person" makes as much sense as saying that "my house is an adverb."

Some things in the Bible are true. Some things in the Bible are false. As simple as that. LOL

I'm fascinated how much Christians feel the need to keep saying truth. Truth this or truth that. The truth will set you free. THE truth. How can you say something is true if you have to take the central claim on faith? Donald Trump knows this well. If you repeat a lie over and over again, people will start to believe it. If you repeat truth over and over again even though you have to take it on faith, people will start to accept that it is true.

I pray you will come to know Jesus as your savior, and be able to recognize and appreciate the wonderful Truths of God’s word.

Believe has no place where Truth is concerned. if Jesus is THE Truth as Alisa and Myers believe, he would not be a Jew nor a Christian. For Truth is beyond religion and culture. During Jesus time there was no such a thing as a Christian. People have invented the term Christian.

I bought your book Live Your Truth and I was horrified to see you claim human opinion as biological truth, in that you claimed that people are not trans but probably gay. Where's that in the Bible? God said that all same sex attraction is idolatry, adultery, and inconvenient. Romans 1., Matthew 5. There is no science to disprove the Bible about what sexuality people are best participating in by thought or actions. I'm guessing that almost everyone has had at least thought curiosities about the same sex that they don't always tell anyone about or act on. Thoughts don't define who we are, or the gay acting people could equally be defined as sexually oriented towards animals, children, inanimate objects, suicide, terrible health from attraction to junk food, sugar, mostly carbs. We are not defined by our temptations to do mostly self/society destructive behaviors. You ought to fix your book in a hurry. Talk to Becket Cook, a former gay behaving man and now follower of Jesus. He says no one is created by God forced to do anything other than what God says is best for humanity. We can choose otherwise, but God doesn't create anyone doomed to do premarital sex or gay anything as if they have no other choice. Look into the reality of personality that makes people first need to be close friends and trust each other to be able to be sexually attracted to them. They might not be a Matthew 5 eunuch, but a trust-based attracter towards the opposite sex. They're definitely not ever gay by genetics or God's purpose/allowance. Teens are taught falsely that if they have no attraction yet to the opposite sex then they must be gay but that is false doctrine. They are either totally not ready for the giant responsibility of romance, a trust-based attracter, or a eunuch in body or mind. Gay is not a Biblically ok option.
