In this crazy argument that Jesus is not The Truth... I find it funny that often these great men of faith taught the same thing... Yet... They are lifted up as great teachers.
I am not a Calvinist... Yet Spurgeon's word's resonate with me.
I submit that these men were not heretics... But to deny that Jesus is literally the Truth Incarnate... Is very much heretical.
I affirm and believe that Jesus was literally The Way, The Truth and The Life… which some deny! If I am wrong and a heretic… about teaching Truth being a Person and that Person being Jesus… then I am in very good company… here are a couple of other heretics who have taught this… for your consideration.
Enjoy the quotes!
blessings,

C. H. Spurgeon's First Words at the Tabernacle:
I would propose that the subject of the ministry in this house, as long as this platform shall stand, and as long as this house shall be frequented by worshipper,
shall be the person of JESUS CHRIST.
I am never ashamed to avow my self a Calvinist; I do not hesitate to take the name of Baptist; but if I am asked what is my creed, I reply,"It is Jesus Christ.
My venerated predecessor, Dr. Gill, has left a Body of Divinity, admirable and excellent in its way; but the body of Divinity to which I would pin and bind myself for ever, God helping me, is not his system, or any other human treatise; but Christ Jesus, who is the sum and substance of the Gospel, who is in Himself all theology, the incarnation of every precious truth, the all glorious personal embodiment of the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
A.W Pink: In the Sermon on the Mount our Lord taught His disciples
"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you" (Matt. 5:44). Above all others Christ practised what He preached. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. He not only taught the truth but was Himself the truth incarnate. Said He, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" (John 14:6). So here on the Cross He perfectly exemplified His teaching of the mount. In all things He has left us an example. http://the-highway.com/forgiveness1_Pink.html

I am not a "relativest" in the way you are saying... There is a form of relativism that is based on our own distorted corrupt view... which is known commonly as lies...
I did not teach Jesus is the Tao if you really even bothered to read... i taught Jesus is The creator and sustainer of all things and that if one believes in Taoism they can replace their impersonal religion... with the Person of Jesus Christ... you and Phil Perkins have twisted what I said... agian.. people ask me if you even bother reading what I write or if you just read the title and make up the rest!
I am intrigued by you denial that Jesus is literaly the Truth incarnate...
But whatever... It is more than just figurativly... if Jesus is THE REALITY... in contrast to the shadows in the OT. You are making Jesus the shadow of Truth... and that truth itself is higher than Jesus... I am not putting words in your mouth... often I ask questions for clarity as your view is way out there... i am trying to get you explain what you really mean... You seem to take that as twisting your words... again... not my intention...
I am done here on my blog with you... go back to your own and slander me more if you want...
be at peace,
iggy
Interesting...
Ben did you leave slanderers off the list above on purpose?
You obviously have something wrong with you...
My prayers are with you...
I apologize that I engaged in conversation again with you... I hoped for reconciliation, but you were just out to get me in something again...so it will end here and now.
Say what you want... though I am not well educated and do not know Greek nor do I even claim to know how to diagram a sentence... you seem to to have no comprehension of context nor what you read.... thanks for posting the links... let the people decide.
I will continue to pray.
Let the spiritual bondage that holds be loosed, and the freedom of Christ be bound to your heart...
May Grace and Mercy be your very food...
May love of Christ compel you on to good works.
May the Kingdom of God be you final eternal Home...
Be blessed,
iggy
Ben,
You have never stated that to me or on this blog... i asked you once and you only said, "Jesus taught truth" and then began arguing that He was not truth... this is well recorded on this blog.
I have not lied about what you have never stated...
that is a very illogical stand... and dishonest again on your part...
Again, if you do not agree with me i do not care... and as before on all your personal attacks on me... I forgive you again and again..
Again, i am done.
so be abundantly blessed.
iggy
