Facts vs Truth
I was reminded yesterday that of something I read some time back....Facts are true but they are not always TRUTH....
Thought I would put this here for discussion....
Perhaps sharing some experience where this concept was proven accurate....
If so, when does FACTS cease being truth...

Facts always need to be interpreted and placed in a larger context for truth to come about. A computer could theoretically store every fact there is and then produce no truth whatsoever, the fact that location x,y,z somewhere in space contains matter rather than not at time t does not speak truth to any noticeable degree.

Facts can be amoral. Facts are recorded in history. Truth proceeds out of the Heart of God. He alone personifies Truth through Jesus Christ.

One of my favorite subjects to teach. God’s promises are the ‘BUT’ to facts. The fact may be I’m sick, BUT, by the stripes of Jesus I am healed. Truth is greater than fact. There is power in Truth to change the facts. We live by Truth, not facts.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Facts can be used out of context to bolster false narratives. It happens all the time, all day, every day. Nazis voted for Trump, Trump followers are Nazis.
