Isn't that the kind of junk you'd expect to hear
out of this kind of post-modern American idea of,
you know, we're so enlightened, we're so scientific,
and, you know, we're so philosophical.
Well, what is truth?
You know, I mean, how can we really know?
I mean, we're just, we're not atheists,
but we're just agnostic.
What's an agnostic?
An agnostic is someone who says,
"I don't know if there's a God,
"and I think it's impossible for anybody to know."
And these agnostics come at you trying to be so smart.
Well, you know, there's no evidence,
and if we don't see the evidence,
if we don't get to see the science,
you know, then we're not gonna believe in God.
Isn't that what they say?
And they're agnostic.
And they, well, you know, I'm not an atheist.
Not an atheist, I'm just agnostic.
Well, guess what?
There's not a separate compartment in hell
for atheists and agnostics.
It's not like, oh, you're an agnostic, not an atheist?
Well, you get to go to the first circle.
You know, you're not gonna go all the way down
to the bottom of hell 'cause you're not an atheist.
Thank you for being agnostic instead of atheist.
Folks, you're going to hell if you're atheist.
You're going to hell if you're agnostic
because not deciding is deciding.
Being neutral is being against Christ.
And so we see here that Pilate says, well, what is truth?
You know, I just don't know.
I just haven't seen the evidence.
I'm just not convinced.
I've been reading Plato or whatever.
And so I don't even know what truth is.
And Jesus is standing in front of him
And Jesus is the truth.
He's talking to the truth.
He's asking the truth what is truth.
And then Jesus goes to tell him and it's like, truth.
See what, you know what it comes out?
You know what the agnostic is?
He's willingly ignorant.
He says, I don't know.
And then he asks the question, well, what is the truth?
Bye.
Is the agnostic just ready to hear the gospel
when we knock on his door typically?
Typically when we knock on the door of the agnostic,
he says, well, what is truth?
Bye, I'm busy, I'm having dinner.
Bye, I'm busy, I'm not interested.
I'm not religious, I'm not a Jew.
You know, what is truth?
Walk away, see you later.
That's willful ignorance.
Pilot here has the truth right there.
Jesus willing to talk to him.
Jesus is saying quite a bit to him here.
He doesn't care, he's not interested, he walks away.
Because to be agnostic or undecided
ultimately leads to the same damnation as atheism.
