Bible Question:
Hello, Nolan, Just a question for clarification: Whereas it is false that ALL truth is relative, is it true that SOME truth is relative? If so, what truths? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
