Re: Truth?
I should have known that truth thing bring the discussion even more on a tangent. I'll give my spill, and if anyone wants to go all out on this then lets take it to the Gen. Philosophy forum.
The enemy/friend personality of the sun is relative to the situation and understood within the context.
I'm not going say anything right now(I left my Chemistry book at school) about light and electrons b/c I don't know enought about them. However Truth corresponds to reality. Our conceptions of it[truth] can be right or wrong, but that has no weight on whether something is true or not.
If Jesus is not Messiah, then he is a liar, a lunatic, and not worthy to be called a prophet.

Such a narrow definition will not serve. Concepts can by contradictory yet true. The Sun is an enemy to the man dying of thirst in the desert but a friend to those caught in the depths of winter.

Light both a particle and a wave. An electron may be in more than one place at a time. Reality is not constrained by our conceptions. How much less so must God be?

Don't Muslims(someone get me on this, very limited knowledge here) believe in Jesus too, just that he wasn't the Messiah, he was just another prophet?
