Our Unique Method for Knowing the Truth?
Posted: February 20th, 2019, 12:57 am
I've always been taught that the way to know about the truthfulness of the church and its doctrines and beliefs is to pray about it, which I've done over the years, but is this the same method used by people of other religions, do they also pray and get a spiritual experience confirming to them that Methodism for example is the truth?
Have we got a monopoly on how to find truth? Surely seeking truth should be the same for any human wherever they are and whatever language they speak! We are taught that God is no respector of persons so how can this be? For people to join a religion they must have some sort of spiritual experience, where does this come from? Are we denying the authenticity of what they experience? if we claim to have the truth which is confirmed through the spirit what are all these other people experiencing?
