PREFACE
Truth will surely triumph. It is not because such is man's inherent goodness that it could not do anything less in such a harbour of felicity. Far from it; for if there ever were any discordant diligence to found a lie, establish an illusion, declare a deceit, trifle with reality, assert by passion what pride invents, in mankind's history it is diligently represented! it carries examples and proliferations that abound like mice in a mouse plague.
It is because it is all made, the world and man. Nothing is no sound foundation for anything and it is the only honest option to something, always there, always adequate, for inadequacy by definition can never secure the outcome in view. Eternal deity is the only reason why truth will surely triumph, and as denial of it is denial of His actions or speech or both, those guilty of this cannot prevail, being dependent on Him for Being, on Him who made time and before whom the end is clear from the beginning.
Further, only He COULD even know the truth, as the genuine source of cognition and creation, absolute and not confined to relativistic interactions, and what He declares is in need of no further validation, though as truth, He invites comparison and demands testing (Isaiah 41, 43, 48, I Thessalonians 5:21). There is nothing empirically or logically approaching His level.
As shown in SMR, logically the self-declaring God of the Bible has no competitors, while the lie, denial of what He has done, said or knows, would be merely to deny Himself as the proponent of all things, (as in Barbs ... 6 -7, Sparkling Life ... Ch. 4), or to create an obstruction to that truth which He constitutes. Indeed, His actions constitute truth and He is not in a limiting environment, since He is the identified eternal adequacy, absolute and not relative, the spiritual sufficiency for the matrix and motives of man and creation, so that what He says and does is unmolestable truth and concordant so that any competitive source of reality contrary to His word and deed, if from Him, would be self-confrontation in the Almighty merely showing such a one would NOT BE almighty. If that were possible for such as He, the divergencies would be mutually devastating - though really that would be another being than God since any limits deny Him.
Fulfilling the verifying and validating requirements of reason (REASON, REVELATION and the REDEEMER), His word stands, and He mocks at invasion and overthrow as in Psalm 2. We however have a task, to show in this volume something of the tepid trifling, exposing it, which rises up to deny Him, things which lead on readily enough to tedious torturing, as truth is twisted into grotesque shapes and cultures into weird residues, like cups of cold coffee dregs, with discarded straws left in them.
