It is becoming increasingly common for people to speak in terms of their own version of the truth. They use phrases like, my truth? And “your truth, ” as if there were different versions of the truth. I’ve heard people talk about my truth? In reference to all sorts of things, including history, ethics, science and religion. the right to maintain our own opinions, we have no right to maintain our own versions of the truth, because it is impossible for there to be more than one version of the truth.
This way of thinking is not simply the relativism of the past, postmodern pluralism or religious syncretism. This new way of thinking integrates conceptualism. The philosophical mindset of conceptualism has emerged as a necessary consequence of postmodern zeitgeist (the spirit of the time) as a means of relating to others with which we disagree and with which we always agree Does conceptualism provide people with a way to create their own truth-based and personally conceived realities so that they can believe what they want and deny what they choose to deny?according to their own concept of truth, even if their own conceived reality is not based on what reality is, so people can have their own self-conceptual realities, in which they claim to have their truth, while others (with whom they disagree) have their own truth, without any truth being true to all , all this so that they can get along well in the shared classroom environment, at work, on the Internet and at school.

- Although conceptualism manifests itself devastatingly in the world.
- It is absolutely deadly in the Church.
- We see this thought most abundantly in the way people talk about God.
- Has it become common for people to talk? OMG? and “your God” saying things to defend your point of view of who your God is and what he would or would not do.
- How? My God is not the God of wrath; my God is only the God of love ?.
- Or my God wouldn’t do that.
- Your God can even do it.
- But my God can’t.
- But since we are not entitled to our own versions of the truth.
- We are not entitled to our own versions of God.
- We are not entitled to our own version of what God does or who God is.
- We must follow the only true God.
- Who is Father.
- Son.
- And Holy Spirit.
- And if we are to know and worship this God.
- And not the God of our own creation.
- We must know the Triune God.
- We need to know what we say and what we deny about who God is.
- Because there is a Triune God.
- And we cannot create it in our own image or our own conceptual reality of what we think it should be.
- There is only one God.
- And we are not him.
- There is no other.
