I will go as far as I can.
Other religions may have truths but only the *True* Christian Faith has
The *Truth*.

Here is what I mean:
(This was a example taken from a personal discussion I had with someone
a long time back)
There is orange juice in the refrigerator. That is truth.
Now tomorrow, after breakfast, it no longer will be truth.

God's Word is Truth. Tomorrow it will still be Truth. Billions (though I
am pretty sure time will no longer matter) of years from now It will
still be Truth.

To back that up (my source):
Hebrews 13:8-9
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever. [9] Do
not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for
the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those
who were thus occupied were not benefited. (NASB)

John 17:17
"Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth. (NASB)

Isaiah 40:25-28
To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
[26] Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these
things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by
names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not
one faileth. [27] Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My
way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
[28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God,
the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is
weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

See, His answers are much better than mine


Enough, I finally had to filter.
