Huh, given what Franke said, shouldn't this read " I believe that this is just one of manys truths. Now I know that for some of you other truths don't exist. But that's ok because like beauty, truth is in the eye of the beholder and we all have our own little truth and my truth might not be your truth but that's ok too because truth is a many splendid thing. Hmmm,is this one of those dialectic Yes and No things? Or is it like trying to imagine what sound you would make if you claaped with on hand? ” I believe that this is the truth.” Huh, given what Franke said, shouldn’t this read ” I believe that this is just one of manys truths.

I think another thing we can be sure of about God is that His ways are not our ways, and that He is knowable but unknowable and the moment we feel like "our way is the right way" then we are truly lost.

"In my Father's house are many mansions" - John 14:2 There's one house, many mansions. One Truth.....many ways of seeing that one Truth. A diamond has many facets. I can't lose sight of the fact that there are not many gods. I once had a teacher who declared, "There are no absolutes"! To which I asked... "Are you abolutely certain?" She was NOT happy. I know I was being a jerk, but from my vantage point, I saw it differently. ;) I’m not so sure that there is such a thing as a “plurality of Truth”.
