Is Jesus the absolute Truth?
Jesus
answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me. (John 14:6)
notice how Jesus of the bible, is boldly testifying that he is the way, truth and life. the problem we find with this statement is, the very same Jesus openly declared, if he testifies about himself then his testimony is not true.
"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. (John 5:31)
imagine that, Jesus of the bible forgot he told the Jews his testimony about himself was not valid. it doesn’t stop here, if we read the next 2 verses Jesus goes to says, that john the Baptist spoke the truth about him i.e. he was the true Messiah. Yet when we read the synoptic gospels, we find john the Baptist was not sure whether Jesus was the true Messiah or not.

Then John’s
disciples informed him about all these things so John sent two of his
disciples and he sent them to the Lord to ask him,
"Are you the Messiah we've been expecting, or should we keep looking for
someone else?" (Luke 7:18-19)
How true was Jesus of the Bible?. We’ve established from John 5:31, that
Jesus’s own testimony is not valid which completely dismisses John 14:6 where Jesus
referred himself as the way, truth and life. But there’s more to it according
to Jesus, the one who would come after him will lead people to ALL TRUTH!.
“But when
he, the Spirit of truth, comes, HE WILL
GUIDE YOU TO ALL TRUTH… (emphasis added) (John 16:13)
You cant get more explicit then that. Here Jesus himself is
testifying the one who would come after him HE WILL GUIDE YOU TO ALL TRUTH. Note Jesus
is not testifying about himself which would make it invalid, rather he is
testifying of another who would Guide people to All Truth. We can conclude from
this that Jesus of the Bible was not the absolute Truth after all.
