How do you know that what I am saying to you is true? Perhaps it is a memory or a qualified process of my becoming a valid source of verifiable information that led you to develop a modicum of trust in the words and stories I deliver. Maybe I have a believable face? Maybe it is a cumulative effect of background, voice, environment or eloquence that lends credibility to my statements and assertions? What is it for you that tell you that something is true?

Do you look to current events and measure them against a historical litany of events to determine them evidence sufficient to proceed with knowledge ingestion?  Do you discuss amongst trusted colleagues or search tomes of historical fact to determine the viability and measureable Truthfulness of these assertions? Do you qualify them by some manner of mathematical calculus of personal design that you’ve developed over the years to serve your interpretation and interpolation of data from disparate sources? What is it that tells you the things that one person says are sufficiently valid to trust as a credible source of data?

Do we cling to credible sources as a group, trending toward those data resources that are in deed established as those having received the seal of believability by the masses? Is there one true source of truth to which you refer, cling or return to in order to determine if information is false or true when the chips are down and important decisions must be made?  Is it wickepedia or some other pedia, perhaps a historical tome that has not yet seen the ever cleansing hand of tech writers changing its pages over night?  Or do you trust your gut to analyze, adjust and judge the material delivered as to its validity? Are you then therefore a credible bank of judgment upon which all may rely? Why is your gut so right, why is it so determined when it makes a judgment of what is true or false? What gives you the objective credibility to make these determinations when this is in fact a subjective opinion on your part?

Oh, you just trust yourself, without fault, without concern or wavering?  Isn’t that a bigoted point of view that your version of reality is in fact impermeable to persuasion? Can you be convinced otherwise and what level of evidence is necessary to allow your transformation? So you trust yourself, but your mind can be changed given credible resources and evidence that measures to a specific level of credence sufficient to making you adjust your “gut” thinking? Okay so even your gut remains a subjective source of truth, because it may be changed given the appropriate or sufficient data?

What then at the end of the day tells you that Caleb is telling you the truth about God? Are you agreeing to accept my teaching my determinative philosophies based upon the fact that you’ve heard no better reasoning to date? Or have you established in your mind that this subject over which there is no further required evidence is believable simply based upon its own objective and faithful Truth?

I am certainly no credible source above those august academicians with scholarly degrees and years of tenured teaching providing them evidentiary support for their arguments. Heck, I am so simple and embarrassed by having to use things in my past as degrees and service of my country as prima facie evidence or supporting depth of my credibility. What makes you believe me when I tell you that I love you? Do you suspect my delivery; somehow feeling deep within your subjective gut that there is no evidence of that love therefore it must be doubtful?

Okay what makes you believe that you are free or living in a Free Country as this nation is commonly attributed? Do you believe in your rights though you have never expressed them? Do they cease to exist if we never choose to utilize them? If I have kept my mouth shut to my own opinions my entire life and simply listened can I say that I have the freedom of speech or that I don’t have that freedom never having expressed it? Must I own a gun to have the right to bear arms provided by a sovereign gift of rights given me by a Creator upon which we have based that sovereign authority of WE the People? Must I have property and pursue happiness to have the rights to the same? Or is it simply something based upon an understanding that there is some OBJECTIVE Truth upon which all of these concepts, measures and circumspect judgments are based?

Look without some objective source upon which to rely we are left in a state of perpetual doubt, just a many often doubt their own “gut”, the internal resource we utilize to determine the credibility of sensory material we receive daily.  What then is that objective source upon which we may base these rights that are inalienable, without which they cease to be untouchable or even definable in subjective terms? Are you a historian? Can you point to one document throughout history upon which we may all hang that formative evidence and surety?

God is the only unchanging thing in the Universe. God is the only objective resource that does not require definition but rather acts as the origin of all definition because He Is that origin. How do I know that I have been given a tremendous and enviable gift wrapped up in a Constitutional Republic? These Truths are “SELF EVIDENT”, do we recall that term? This is the understanding that permeated the conversation of our Founding Fathers, without which no rights that are untouchable by man may be established. They must be their own evidence having been given by the one authority without change, Almighty God.

As we begin to waver and flux as a nation it is because we are no longer steadfast in our attachment to this primary reasoning.  Without a credible, unchanging, irrefutable source of objective Truth we are left in perpetual doubt of gut determination of evidentiary consultation. It is time for U.S. to reconsider our pathway forward. Without a foundation based upon something that never changes, we cannot establish or reestablish a set of rights that are “SELF EVIDENT”. Until we address this error in our thinking this illogical departure from a path of national sovereignty and surety we are left to be tossed by the waves of fad and eloquence. This enemy wants us in that arena for in that arena he alone is master.

I pray that you find me credible but not for own means or glorification, but that you find the words I preach and teach directly reflected, supported and firmly rooted in God’s undeniable Word. My own thoughts should all be brought under the captivity of the Spirit that I might never elevate my own reasoning to equal or superior status to the Lord’s Proclamation and Love for mankind. May the Lord direct our reasoning back to an established foundation based upon His unchanging Characteristics that we might be found to the end of mankind, one of two eternal nations that never failed for they were both based upon the immutability of Almighty God. God Bless the Nation of Israel, His beloved, and God Bless this United States of America; men who were given the gift of Sovereign Rights that were self-evidence of God’s Hand upon U.S. All.
