Redefining Truth: Delusions of Replacing God and Calling Evil Good
We now live in a culture that has embraced moral relativism, a generation that no longer believes truth can be known. Right and wrong, good and evil are measured by feelings and opinions. It is all part of a satanic delusion and much is at stake. Redefining Truth provides answers and biblical perspective to the most pressing issues in today’s postmodern society.
Practically everything in life changes, but if God never changes and if absolute truth exists, then this investigation matters tremendously. You will be informed as we evaluate the overwhelming evidence supporting Christianity. You’ll also be encouraged to cultivate an eternal perspective even as attacks on believers are increasing. Redefining Truth will show you how to respond to others in a loving and confident way. This book will also help you successfully navigate through the noise, agendas, distractions, and confusion prevalent in America today. It will give you facts, history, and Scripture you can use to answer skeptics and challenge others to consider the truth of Jesus Christ. No decision is more critical.

[Note: This book was provided free of charge by Aneko Press. All thoughts and opinions are my own.]
This book ought to be red meat in the eyes of culture warriors who eat up books like this [1]. This author writes this book as if he has an enemies list that he views as God's enemies and he wants to write as much ugly and unpleasant truth about them as possible to put people on their guard. It's pretty clear which target audience this author is aiming at, passionately political evangelicals who feel attacked by cultural liberals and New Agers and cultists and who are ready to fight. I have mixed feelings about this myself. On the one hand, the author is clearly on target with a lot of his commentary about the public evils that godly people have to face at present, but at the same time there is a lot in this book that comes off as being somewhat mean-spirited and petty, and even a bit hypocritical. For example, the author takes offense at the correct opposition of Jehovah's Witnesses to a great deal of pagan practices and then turns and condemns Catholics for plenty of the pagan practices that they endorse, like the use of rosary beads. Pot, meet kettle.
This book has sixteen chapters that take up about 300 pages of material that fortunately reads fast when the book isn't making the reader angry enough that one has to stop reading for a while. The author begins with a defense of truth and a discussion of how Satan operates in culture. Then the author turns to the liberal problems of one-way tolerance and the transgender agenda and the way that truth and facts don't care about feelings and trends. Then the author talks about the lies of the left followed by the fight for religious freedom. After this the author turns his attention to the threat of relativism within the church and then Israel's true prophetic history, which leads him to rant about replacement theology. This is followed by a discussion of "natural" marriage and how it can be saved and then a discussion of abortion as the real war on women. This is followed by a discussion of the influence of the occult on entertainment and then a chapter that is critical of Scientology. The next three chapters discuss various other religions the author has problems with ranging from atheism to Islam to Mormonism and Roman Catholicism and others. The book then ends with a discussion about Jesus and a summary of the book's materials.
This is a book whose whole is less than the sum of its parts. For most of the book, the author careens between one subject and another without any sense of overall coherence. The title of the book would suggest that the book is about epistemology and the concern about ultimate truth, but towards the end of the book there are four straight chapters that appear to be comparative religion texts, and in between these there is everything from a discussion of biblical prophecy to political discussions. I'm not sure what the author was trying to accomplish. Certainly he hits a lot of targets, but this is a book that would have been greatly aided with a structure that tied together the author's various discussions in parts that demonstrated, for example, the importance of truth in different aspects of life and worldview, rather than leaving the reader to be confused about the way the book is supposed to hang together. Still, even if the book lacks a certain amount of structure and cohesion, there is still enough red meat here to please this book's target audience of frustrated evangelical culture warriors.

As someone who really appreciates apologetics, discernment, and polemics, it’s books like Redefining Truth that bother me more than any other works in the Christian writing category. They bother me because the writer clearly has an interest in discernment and presenting truth to those within the Christian church but they simply haven’t read their bible enough or don’t apply all of its verses equally. In a time where there is little to no unity amongst the Christian church books like Redefining Truth have become important touchstones to sort out who is right and who is wrong when it comes to orthodox belief, but only when it focuses on that topic.
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” – 1 John 2:15-17
“I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.” – John 17:14-19
I say all of this, and include the above verses, because this book doesn’t hold ecclesiastical theology as the most important truth to sort out. A great majority of this book concerns itself with what is going in the world and in particular the LGBT movements in the United States, and that represents a common fixation within the modern church as a whole. Christians who believe that what goes on outside the church is the biggest threat to the church have missed a great number of verses and teachings in both the New and Old Testaments as God didn’t send Jesus or create the Kingdom of Israel to redeem culture or society or the world. He did it to create an alternative to the world that is connected with Himself.
Modern Christianity has this strange belief, in the United States in particular, that the world belongs to the church and anything in the world that is antithetical to the bible needs to be cast out or be made illegal, and that is a position that is impossible to defend. In other words, the world can do what it wants, its only when sinful aspects of the world are brought into the church that there is a problem that needs to be rooted out. Modern Christianity would teach that gay marriage and homosexuality should be outlawed everywhere, as opposed to just in the church, and that simply makes no sense. These flawed theological beliefs form the main talking points that Mr. Fiorazo uses to build the basis of Redefining Truth and it’s such a headache to read.
The world was never, and will never be defined by the church, and the bible makes it pretty clear that that’s how its supposed to be. Attempting to make a country rule by biblical theology doesn’t work, because that requires faith, and you’ll never achieve a state of complete faith in any country sized population. Christians have got to stop demanding that the world and its governments govern on the basis of the bible and focus more on what theology they’re allowing into their own church, especially since they aren’t convincing anybody anyway. Protesting the legalization of gay marriage on the grounds of it conflicting with biblical law aren’t going to change the minds of people who already don’t believe in biblical law, it’s a self-defeating argument.
Chapter after chapter of this book is all about how the world is going against the theology of the bible and that it will only lead to its downfall, but that is exactly what the bible says the world is going to do. Attempting to reverse this process not only ignores a great amount of what is said in the bible, but if it were possible to have the world conform to biblical law it would most likely only prolong the return of the Christian savior. If the world is behaving exactly like the church is supposed to then why would Jesus return to complete the saving act he began on the cross? As a result of this argumentation, Mr. Fiorazo kills his own theological position by arguing that Jesus has to come quickly while also advocating action that would prolong the need for his return. He’s not alone in this, however, because it’s a position advocated by people all across the church. Surely it would be of benefit to the church to allow the world to drift further away from the bible as it would necessitate a swifter return of Jesus, so why don’t they advocate for that? Let the world be the world, their problems only become the church’s problems when they enter the church and are accepted by it.
All of this wasted time is especially unfortunate because the last four chapters or so deal with comparative religions and discerning truth in various theological systems and they’re very good. Mr. Fiorazo includes a lot of information on the other major world religions as well as sects of Christianity that do the job of sorting out truth from fiction and I appreciated them greatly, I just wish the whole book was like that. He does include a lengthy chapter on Scientology that I’m not sure was necessary given that there are better ways to spend apologetic time, but If I was to recommend this book it would be these final chapters and literally none of the rest.
I don’t even know what Mr. Fiorazo was attempting to accomplish with the earlier chapters, maybe they would be useful if read by a Christian who was advocating for the position that homosexuality isn’t a sin but its probably pretty rare that someone in that theological camp would read something advocating against their position on the topic. No one who reads this book is going to have their minds changed by what’s written because the audience for this book is decidedly Christian. Mr. Fiorazo tries to establish an argumentation for Christianity in the beginning of the book but it’s done so quickly that any significant belief against the bible or God isn’t going to be overturned, and this results in the rest of the book being shouted into an echo chamber, and it’s symptomatic of what is wrong with the Christian publishing industry as a whole.
The people who walk in the Christian living section at Barnes and Noble aren’t atheists, the vast majority are people who already believe so most of these books aren’t really accomplishing much. Its essentially the same problem that exists in the world of Christian film and television. People should just stick to reading the bible and theological discourse, it serves as a point of genuine education and helps them arrive at the same point as any book like Redefining Truth does, albeit with more information. They also have better covers.

A great wake up call
This book gives an accurate description of the world we are living in today and how truth is being redefined. As Christians, we need to know the bible (truth) and spread the Good News. It is the only loving thing to do.

Redefining Truth: Delusions of Replacing God and Calling Evil Good by David Fiorazo is a book that examines the ever changing definitions of our world, America in particular, in light of Christ, the church, and culture. One of the great points made throughout the book in different ways is that in order to refute the Bible, one should read it. Many of the different individuals (who believe or don’t believe in various ideas) have not even bothered to read the Bible. In fact, some even state they won’t read it. Fiorazo does not provide a detailed explanation of all the ideas he is refuting in the book but there is information for further research to help the reader.
The book states that Christianity is under attack because there is a fear of offending someone and Christianity offends many people because of the Bible. As the author points out, there are many Christian churches who no longer want to offend anyone so they are redefining truth and walking about from the entire message of the Bible. Tolerance is the keyword of today but if someone is really “true to themselves,” how can do they reconcile with those who differ in opinion?
A valid point Fiorazo makes is that “true history might be covered up or rewritten, but it can never be erased” (page 99). This is stated in reference to the history of Israel and America’s relationship with that nation but it applies to so many aspects of American history today.
Redefining Truth also examines marriage, the family, abortion, popular entertainers and their involvement in women’s issues, as well as numerous groups and movements such as Scientology, atheism, New Age, Wicca, Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others. My complaint regarding these later chapters is that I felt that Fiorazo was trying to include so much information that his original message of Redefining Truth was getting lost in the details.
In conclusion, Fiorazo advises that true religion does not contract itself and that there needs to be more discernment in the church today. I found this to be a very thought provoking book, even if one does not agree with the points that the author was trying to make in each chapter. The book jacket states that “it will give you facts, history, and Scripture you can use to answer skeptics and challenge others to consider the truth of Jesus Christ.” I would argue that the book is heavy on facts and history, but light on Scripture. There are many references and quotes from the Bible but I think it wouldn’t be remiss to include more where applicable.
I would recommend this book to others who wish to learn more about Christianity and the world of 2017.
I would rate this book 3.5 out of 5 stars.
I received this book in return for my honest review.

*Facts are truly facts only when they have been independently verified by people other than the source.*Albeit good, extra-Biblical sources were discussed on page two hundred ninety-six.
The work it takes to write a book on the reality of America’s demise culturally and spiritually is monumental. The key to any work geared towards this expansive topic from a Biblical perspective is to realize the Bible did not start with America, nor does the Christian faith begin with America’s political machine. None of the statistics and evidence in this book point to the reality that America will not conquer all in the end times. Jesus’ purpose did not include a futuristic, capitalist nation as the Kingdom of God.
It was hard for me as a former fundamentalist to read this book as much triggered me into my feelings and mindset during a time of great spiritual, emotional, sexual, and mental abuse. But I finished the book out of respect for Aneko Press and the author. (Fundamentalism as a system wherein beliefs are held in such high esteem by a self-proclaimed authority, causing no one to disagree, within Christian denominations, unfortunately, was not covered as a specific threat in this book’s chapters on world religions and cults; neither was Judaism for that matter which was most concerning.)
I had high hopes for the final conclusion of this book when I read statements as on page 123: ” Who is more culpable for destroying the sanctity of marriage in America? If we are being completely honest, more evidence points to the church in America as well as to average citizens, rather than gays and lesbians.” Alas, more weight was written in that “If” as the author continued to barrage left wing politics, women, and LGBT (omitting the QIA) as America’s immoral culprits. Sadly, the Pharisaical spirit of Christ’s time is alive and well in those who would herald reality TV star President Trump and the Republican party as Christendom’s hope.
Hollywood Trump and politicians are a crumbling foundation when we could be discussing the refuge that is Christ Jesus our King. I wish David Fiorazo would have continued with his mindset as written: “…These are not just cultural indicators; these are judgments on the Christian church and our lack of moral influence in America.” (pg.125) Such accurate statements that could have used more meat for me to chew.

Excellent book for anyone who feels "out-of-touch" in today's world including in their own church! With all the changes being made in society today (gay marriage, transgender issues, etc.) one would think the church would be a safe place to hear the truth of God's Word and feel less alone. Instead the churches (across the board) seem to be embracing the same changes that secular society is. It can make you feel quite isolated and a bit of an outcast. David Fiorazo does a marvelous job of pinpointing what the issues are, what has happened to cause it and reminds those of us who believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever that we are not crazy or evil, but that we are experiencing what Jesus told us to expect since this world is not our home. While reading this book I was reminded of my Dad's words "If you think like much of the world, maybe you need to check your thinking". The second section of the book compares true Evangelical Christianity (based solely on the Bible) with other religions. This book is a reassuring reminder that we are not alone. There are others who feel the same way and that truth is truth and doesn't change. Highly recommend reading this book -- especially in this world which changes almost day-by-day.

Great book. I wasn't expecting it but was pleasantly surprised to see the author expose Mormonism for the unchristian cult that it is
