Truth Exposed (TE) is a website that provides useful information to Christians or people that are curious or even sceptical about Christianity. TE’s front end is English, but features mostly Afrikaans articles. As a South African site, TE aims to accommodate people that can understand Afrikaans (most Afrikaans speaking people can understand at least basic English) and provides the option for people to post comments in English. Some articles (like Election and Romans 11:25-27) have been translated into English. TE might become fully bilingual in the future, but time will tell. There are all kinds of information on this site: discussions about the validity of Christianity, discussions on various theological topics, postmodern thought, the concept of truth, devotionals, discussions on creation versus evolution, and many other relevant topics. TE also features a complete integrated forum that allows for discussions on any topic (Note: Recently these discussions have been shifted to our Facebook Page - see link on the homepage - while the Forum remains visible). All articles are linked to the forum to make room for comments and queries. TE is not a conspiracy theory site, but its vision is to present an exposision to the truth behind all things, including the Bible, in order to equip Christians to become more steadfast, informed and alert in the last days that are becoming even more troublous before Jesus’ second coming.
The intention is not that the term "exposed" must be understood in the same way as a lie that is being "exposed," for the truth as such has already been revealed to us in the Word of God. The intention is that this website, which is about the authentic message of the Bible that is being obscured by the systems of this world, must shine brightly. In this regard, the term "expose" must be understood in its neutral meaning: to "expose" or "explain" Scripture (cf. the "exposition of Scripture" or "expository preaching"). Part of this process is also to expose the truth behind the false systems of thought of this world, which are obscured in many instances, by bringing it into the light of the truth - something that has become scarcer in our society.
Most people that visit this site and read through the articles will probably be challenged on many preconceived notions: world view as well as theology. TE holds that the truth is not necessarily in the main stream or in the popular opinion. In fact, Biblical history has shown that truth is not a main stream item. One can only look at historical figures like Noah. He was mocked by his fellow citizens about the truth that he held. The same accounts for the prophets, people like Stephen, Paul and of course, Jesus himself. Jesus was mocked and condemned by the mainstream religious leaders of His time. TE’s mission is to bring people back to the truth of the Bible through relevant discussions. Everyone is welcome on TE. You do not need to agree to everything on this site to become a member and post comments. In fact, TE’s management would like to be informed on any misinformation or anything that you think is not true. Neither do you have to be an expert in order to post. We welcome any type of input from any type of person (within the boundaries of the discussion rules put forth in the disclaimers- and announcements forum). We do not necessarily agree to all the views held by the links and sources mentioned on this site or any articles or information that is published on this site that is not written by the management of TE (also see Disclaimers). Philip du Toit, the author of most of the articles has a passion for truth and a love for Jesus and the Bible. He remains a Bible student that would like to see himself as someone who can learn something new every day. He will be honoured to enter into discussion on anything with you. We hope you enjoy your stay here.
Please note that most of the articles on this site are quite old and need updating - most are written around or before 2007. Some of the information or links on this site might thus be outdated. Please contact us if you are aware of any outdated information or links.
Truth Exposed (TE) is ‘n webruimte wat bruikbare informasie verskaf aan Christene of mense wat nuuskierig or selfs skepties is oor Christenskap. TE se vooraansig in Engels, maar dit bevat meestal Afrikaanse artikels. As ‘n Suid Afrikaanse webblad, poog TE om mense te akkomodeer wat Afrikaans kan verstaan (meeste Afrikaanssprekende mense kan ten minste basiese Engels verstaan) en gee die opsie vir mense om kommentaar in Engels te pos. Sekere artikels (soos Uitverkiesing en Romeine 11:25-27) is in Engels vertaal. TE mag volledig tweetalig word in die toekoms, maar die tyd sal leer. Daar is ‘n groot verskeidenheid van informasie op hierdie webblad: besprekings oor die geldigheid van Christenskap, gesprekke oor verskeie teologiese onderwerpe, postmoderne denke, die konsep van waarheid, toewydings-artikels, besprekings oor skepping teenoor evolusie, en baie ander relevante onderwerpe. TE het ook ‘n volledige geïntegreerde gespreksforum wat voorsiening maak vir gesprekke oor enige onderwerp (Let wel: Die gesprekke het nou verskuif na ons Facebook blad - sien skakel op ons tuisblad - terwyl die forum sigbaar bly). Alle artikels is geskakel aan die forum om ruimte te maak vir kommentaar en vrae. TE is nie ‘n conspiracy theory webblad nie, maar sy visie is om die waarheid agter alle dinge, insluitend die Bybel, bloot te lê sodat dit Christene kan toerus om meer standvastig, ingelig en oplettend te wees in die laaste dae wat al moeiliker raak voor Jesus se tweede koms.
Die bedoeling is nie dat die term "exposed" in dieselfde sin verstaan word as wat 'n leuen "ontbloot" word nie, want die waarheid as sodanig is reeds aan ons geopenbaar in die Woord van God. Dit gaan daaroor dat hierdie blad ten doel het om die egte boodskap van die Bybel, wat al meer verberg word deur die sisteme van die wêreld, helder te laat skyn. In hierdie verband moet die term "expose" verstaan word in die neutrale betekenis: om die Skrif "uit te lê" of "te verduidelik" (vgl. die Engelse "exposition of Scripture" of "expository preaching"). Deel van hierdie proses is ook om die waarheid agter die valse denksisteme van die wêreld te ontbloot wat dikwels agter die skerms gehou word, deur dit na die lig van die waarheid te bring - iets wat al skaarser word in ons samelewing.
Die meeste mense wat hierdie webblad besoek en deur die artikels lees sal waarskynlik uitgedaag word op baie vooropgestelde idees: wêreldbeskouing en teologie. TE glo dat die waarheid nie noodwendig in die hoofstroom of in die populêre mening bestaan nie. Inteendeel, die Bybelse geskiedenis het gewys dat die waarheid nie ‘n hoofstroom item is nie. Mens kan alleen maar kyk na historiese figure soos Noag. Hy was gespot deur sy mede burgers oor die waarheid wat hy geweet het. Dieselfde geld vir die profete, mense soos Stéfanus, Paulus en natuurlik Jesus self. Jesus was veroordeel en uitgekryt juis deur die hoofstroom godsdienstige leiers van sy tyd. TE se missie is om mense terug te bring na die waarheid van die Bybel deur middel van relevante besprekings. Enige iemand is welkom op TE. Jy hoef nie saam te stem met alles op hierdie webblad om ‘n lid te word en kommentaar te pos nie. Inteendeel, TE se bestuur sal dit verwelkom as ons attent gemaak word op misinformasie of enige iets wat jy dink nie die waarheid is nie. Jy hoef ook nie ‘n kenner te wees om iets te pos nie. Ons verwelkom enige tipe inset van enige tipe persoon (binne die grense van die gespreksreëls wat in die ontkennings- en aankondigins forum uiteengesit is). Ons stem nie noodwendig saam met al die sieninge wat gehuldig word op die skakels en bronne wat op hierdie webblad vermeld word nie, of wat verskyn op artikels wat op hierdie webblad gepubliseer is wat nie deur die bestuur van TE geskryf is nie (sien ook Disclaimers). Philip du Toit, die outeur van die meeste artikels het ‘n passie vir die waarheid en ‘n liefde vir Jesus en die Bybel. Hy bly ‘n Bybelstudent wat homself wil sien as iemand wat elke dag iets nuuts kan leer. Hy sal geëerd wees om met jou in gesprek te tree oor enige iets. Ons hoop jy geniet jou verblyf hier.
Let wel dat baie van die artikels redelik oud is en opgedateer moet word. Van die informasie of skakels op hierdie blad mag dalk verouderd wees - meeste is geskryf rondom of voor 2007. Kontak ons gerus as jy bewus is van verouderde informasie of skakels.
