I have been trying to sort out this thinking since my daughter and her friends accept this in culture, music and life. They say if something is true or beautiful, even if the person who says it is not a believer, it still can be taken as truth as all truth is God's truth, all beauty is God's beauty.
BUT let's think about this.
Scripture says Satan is turned into an "angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14)... he surely appears beautiful to the outward eye, but is his beauty something we should gaze and appreciate? Of course not, we should discern his beauty is being used to entice us away from truth and God.
The verse being used to say all truth is God's truth is James 1:17,
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning".
I appreciate the skepticism of the commenter to the above article who said:
Be careful with truth.
And those who convey it.
And beware the hidden hook.
And the camouflaged poison.
And be careful with the truth.
Can anyone out there help me with this? Appreciate any thoughts.
"Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy Word is truth" (John 17:17).
