TRUTH IS A PERSON.... JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING world. GOD IS GOOOOD and HIS presence is mindboggling to those who walk with HIM.Why would he befriend a drunk on a street corner who makes fun of HIM and belittles HIS name? WHY? i stand amazed.heres whats mindboggling. In a world of half truths and ideaologies and theologies how can i know what is true? better yet , how will you know truth when it comes your way? How do i know that im not decieved? how am i sure that evolution is not true? how do i know that Mohammed is not right? or Confucius,or any other religion? and lastly how would i dare to say JESUS is GOD in the flesh? who do i think i am? what is true? is truth subjective ? It seems incredibly arrogant to say "IM RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG."good questions that demand an answer.so here goes. JESUS'S life is documented in history as an actual man. Jesus is not a "fairytale" HE really lived. He made some pretty AMAZING claims. Jesus said some pretty strange things that we all have to reckon with. HE stated 12 I AM's. heres the first one dealing with what is truth? (JOHN 14:6) I am THE way, THE truth and THE life. NO ONE comes to the Father but by me. a radical statement indeed (ruling out every other way to GOD).incredible, JESUS says He is THE TRUTH. I would be an idiot and lying in the process to say "i am THE truth" but HE did. NO ONE can make that claim unless you could back it up, and HE did back it up. he said He was going to die and rise again and He did!.no one in HIStory has ever said this before or since. either HEs right or deluded and wrong. Jesus rising from the dead backs up HIS claim. the Bible also says in HIM is truth. HE is whats true! so to answer all my questions about how do i know whats true? its all in tied up in who JESUS is. Heres the point im trying to make and it sounds incredibly arrogant to say this. There is no way i could be wrong!!!!! there i said it. no way i could be wrong? what!!!!!?????? that is SO ARROGANT. but theres more, theres no way i could be wrong because im not even right! HUH, now you ve really lost me. stay with me, let me finish. theres no way i could be wrong because im not even right. HUH? let me explain. im not right,Tom Fluharty is not right, Jesus is right! HE is right. JESUS is right not Tom Fluharty. i m not trying to defend my views or positions, im simply stating the facts and words of JESUS. truth begins and ends with JESUS not me. JESUS declares whats true not you or I. Truth is a person, Jesus says its HIM and we all have to reckon with HIS amazing words. more on that later. well, if you are still with me and i havent lost you im posting an image i created for the childrens book world to introduce myself to them. im completely invisible to the childrens book world. nobody knows who i am in the book world. the editorial world knows me as a caricaturist .so im working on introducing myself to the book world with a refined style thats still me but geared more to a simplified approach towards a younger reader. its a challenge but its been a long standing passion of mine to create images for childrens books. please note the simplified shapes and colors are much brighter. maybe someday God will open up the doors and allow me the opportunity paint and to create in this arena. Have a great day! i hope you live this day for whats true and not fantasy. truly alive~TOM

Super work Tom! I love the reflected light in the sunglasses! The tree and leaves are wonderfully rendered. Is this piece a single showcase in style - or is it part of a narrative?

"When God speaks people don't listen"....
"Read the book of John!"...."HE claimed some extremely strange things that are either true or He is a crazy man".....
John 6 the discourse on the bread of life....
verse 54 "He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood real drink.56 The man who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and Iin him.......
60 After hearing his words, many of his disciples remarked, "This sort of talk is hard to endure! How can anyone take it seriously?"
Beautiful isn't it,....sadly there is only one denomination that takes our Lord seriously.
Peace

hi dear jmj, lets talk. thanks for your words. lets talk bout what the one true denomination is. thanks~TOM
I'm all ears........
By the way I never said "true" denomination, it's interesting that you did though.....most christians know deep down that something must be a miss, Our Lord couldn't have intended to found thousands of different denominations. It goes against His prayer fos unity!..... Since the reformation our Lords Bride has been broken down.
I also forgot to mention that your art is very cool....
Peace
JMJ
what a drag bro. i detect you are a believer. this is not about reformed anything. email me at my email and well talk. lets keep it between brother to brother. cool? thanks. and yes "true" was my mistake. sorry. later~T
