Definitions are the result of God's gifts of rationality and sense of
order that sane humans have. They describe the world of language and,
therefore, communications so everyone can understand what's being
transmitted.

The same communications that are in the bible. Words. Words that need
to have common meanings or there will be no communications. Do you
think that God would have created a book full of words with arbitrary
or changeable meanings? Do you belief that God would deliberately
create havoc of understanding by making words mean different things
for different people? That truth means one thing to everyone else but
something different for you? How egotistical. How conceited. How
presumptuous. How unbalanced. How insupportable.

Definitions aren't a substitute for anything. They're descriptions.
They describe the reality of the meanings. They describe the facts of
the meanings. Truth is concordance with fact. Nothing else.

Truth undefined is a gossamer wisp of your wishful thinking. To
convince yourself that you're one of the elect. There are no
guarantees, sham shaman. You use the word "truth" as a weapon to try
to discredit those with clearer vision than you. Without description,
without fact, without reason and rational evaluation, there is no truth.

You continue to claim this gift of truth discernment with nothing to
either support it or prove it - no demonstrable truth to it - no facts
to bear it out. There's no biblical support for it, nor is there
theological precedent. It's a ghost of your terror since your
near-death experience. It's a wish that you can't show has ever come true.

Your continued use of the word to mean something you never can
actually pin down shows all the evidence about it that needs to be
seen. You keep talking about truth as an absolute. And you obviously
have nothing to support that except your constant repetition.

Sad little show.
