1 | Is some truth relative? | John 14:17 | Makarios | 8853 | ||
Hello Lionstrong, The ultimate and absolute truth is the Bible, and I'm sure that you would agree with me here. However, there are certain observances that have been revealed to us as "truth" that are not directly based upon the absolute truth, but they are facts regardless. The Lord has allowed us to observe our world to a certain extent that we know certain things by observation. However, if any 'observation' that we make counteracts this absolute truth, then it is the 'observation' that is in error. For instance, such observations we take for granted: water exists in three forms (as a liquid, a solid and a vapor). This 'observation' has been 'proven' as factual by the earthly means that our Lord has blessed us with. However, there are other 'observations' that run contrary to scripture, such as the theory of evolution. And this would be an example of something that should not be speculated on since this theory runs contradictory to our absolute truth, which is given to us through Scripture and the revelation of Jesus Christ. Lionstrong, I remember the dialogue that we discussed back and forth on the Joshua tree, and that discussion was not what I was seeking here. It would not bear any beneficial fruit for me to go back to that discussion. Nolan |

2 | Is some truth relative? | John 14:17 | Lionstrong | 8862 | ||
Hello, Nolan, I'll take your response as a "yes." You misunderstood my first answer to your question, then. I was not contrasting absolute truth and relativistic truth. I was saying that because the nature of truth is absolute, there is NO SUCH THING as relative truth. "Relative" can not be an adjective modifying "truth", because the two terms are contradictory, like a square circle. Our culture believes that there's such a thing as relative truth, but one can find no support in the Bible for such a notion. All truth, if it is truth, is absolute. Peace. |
