Pontius Pilot and Truth

When mentally wrestling with the notion truth, some individuals cannot understand the inability of others not understanding truth.  Jesus was confronted with it in His time from the man of Pontius Pilot saying, "What is truth?"  Modern thought looks upon history with both tendencies of righteousness.  One individual may have the correct judgment, where another may have their own judgment, but from having the wrong attitude. So what, then, is truth?

With God having made humans, man and woman, the devil usurps this truth with something entirely different, subverting creation as God had made it.  Truth simply is what God did, and said, through creation.  As history evolved from creation to the time of Jesus, the Jewish authority in His time branded Jesus as being a false authority.  Not believing Jesus as being the Son of God is false; the opposite of truth.  Humans, through the time of history, perverted and diluted truth. The first humans new what truth was until the devil said "You CAN eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil," but as time moved on into the future with information being past along as history, false became truth, wrong became right, incorrect became correct.

The idea of truth has the same connotations when discussing the notion of truth in the cultures of America and Europe. Through history truth maintains being the same, but moves through human cultures and is diluted and changed into being false. Truth was in the cultures of the first humans, then time moved into the Roman empire era, then evolved into the 15th century.  Truth has now moved into the cultures of main continent of Europe; France, Germany, and England. When history evolved to the 18th century and beyond, truth moved with evolved cultures and now is found in the American culture. Yet when Europeans are confronted with truth, they act in the same manner as the Jews acted in Jesus’ time. The same goes for Muslims as well as modern liberals. Although these entities, and similar ideologies, never had truth, even though they believe through violent efforts, they insisted they are the ones holding truth.
