The question upon the ultimate truth has been one of the biggest debates during the time man has existed. When did this world come into being? Where did we come from? How big/small are we? These are the questions that men and women of high education tried to figure out. The only problem that these people have faced was not the limitation in science, but the incomprehensible complexity of science. Over and over people try to unveil the truth that is too complex for one mind to understand.
The equation to science is not so difficult, only hard to find. It revolves around time, space, and matter. These three elements hold the world we live in. The only problem is there is no equation for all three elements. That is when a new consept, not of science, comes into play; faith. Faith is somthing supernatural, paranormal that does not have a form nor does it have anything to disturb the movement of science. Every human being is born with this gift, a present that allows the mind to make deiscisions and make the mind believe in what is true; that is where the truth lies. The truth does not lie somewhere far off in science. The truth lies somwhere deep in our hearts. People try to look outward for the truth, but the real truth lies in the inner being. Just like a man is born sinful, and knows what is right from wrong. Although some may argue that the culture has developed a discernment for people, the fact is that even before a child learns to talk he/she knows that taking someone else's property is wrong; though they try not to admit it. Just as this faith somthing that every man is born with and is a part of their lives. Faith is merely a mindset to believe, and to act on that belief. The truth is what people make up themselves, but the ultimate truth comes from somthing deeper, someone greater: the one creator.
For many people reading this blog it may be a stretch of the mind and a reaching for the soul, but please stay with me. We are all living in a culture filled with information and believe in the things that we see. I have seen something greater than the human eye can see, but somthing that a spiritual eye must see. I have a gift that I inherit from my mother; the ability to see the truth. Both my mother and myself can look into people's eyes and can tell if the person is telling the truth or not. I can easily tell what information is fiction and what contains fact. To me, this world we live in is merely a reflection of what is to come. Though many christians of my time see this world as a obsticle in faith I view it as a tool. The culture that we live in reveals satanic, un-holy things. But also it is a time where the real truth is able to shine the brightest. That is how I have come to meet Christ. Like many people I tried to search for the truth. Surfing the internet is what actually lead me to the truth. I learned that the truth that was out there was not the truth, and I searched deeper and found the real truth near me. I started reading the bible when I was eight, and figured that nothing was more factual than this. The detail, the discription, and the time. All of it was so true. And that is what set me free.
I see the truth as this, an unchanging, self-fulfilling reasoning that cannot be contradicted nor destroyed. Faith is altered not by culture but by truth, and the ultimate truth is not far but somewhere near. Don't search wider but deeper.

you are deep in your thoughts aaron. The entry made me think in ways that i have not thought of before. You are a great writier in a sense that you make people understand what you see. Thank you for the insight. Faith comes from the heart. I'll search deeper
Aaron,
Good post. Very introspective. I appreciate the honest attempt to make sense of faith. I agree that the truth that is the world's truth is not God's Truth, and that although there are things that are true in this life, there is one truth and that truth is Jesus Christ.
My ex-roommate! Haha I'll get the topic straight. I asked myself about how I feel and think about my faith after reading your blog. Going for the deep and not for the wide really inspired some ideas, too. I'll look forward to your great blogs in the future
