The other category, he says, is radically different. We create the way we experience life. The wise man builds his house on the solid rock of truth, and not on the shifting sands of instability. Reality is that which is real and enduring. The foolish man, living only in sense perception, has no measure for reality and builds his life on false options and erroneous concepts and the storms of experience tear the walls apart.
Truth alone endures to the eternal day.
I had a professor in the seminary who was a member of the Jesus Seminar, which is a group of theologians and teachers in seminaries in major universities. A hundred of them have gotten together to take a new look and come to a new viewpoint about the life of the historical Jesus. They are shifting from the belief that Jesus was an apocalyptical preacher telling us about how the world would end and how there would be divine intervention at the last moment. That view accounts for some of the people who are actually looking for a third world war so that Jesus can come and rescue them before the war wipes out everybody else on the planet. But this group of theologians in the Jesus Seminar are exploring again all the writings, all the research, and they have come to the conclusion that many of the early writers put words in the mouth of Jesus.
