I do not understand how truth can be relative. When someone makes this statement, I sense right away I am likely going to hear an opinion and not actual, factual truth.
I have been saddened by the struggle some have distinguishing between fact and opinion. Often other comprehension skills are not well developed either. False conclusions are drawn, either because of a failure to concentrate and read carefully or not taking the time to do so. Another problem is understanding inferences or implied meanings. Sometimes just decoding the basic meaning of the words on a page impairs comprehension.
Why mention all of this? It's because the flippant phrase that "truth is relative" is sometimes coming from someone who has not read or researched a truth, any truth, yet he or she wants so much for there to be a secure foothold to use to get through life. But what if the truth is knowable? What if the truth is not some nebulous something, but a Someone? What about a Living Truth millions believe in and hundreds saw after His resurrection?
To whom am I referring? In the scriptures, specifically in John's Gospel, Jesus is speaking, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father but by Me." Now that is easy to understand. Accepting it takes faith and faith to believe in the Truth is a gift God loves to give. Doma
About Me
- Doma
- An honest Seeker who has found peace and security in believing Jesus Christ is who He says He is. I actually am a good listener, so talk to me.Strong opinions based on scripture and life experience are what you will read here. Even so, I am open to other view points, wanting to study the validity and motivation behind them and compare them to the light of scripture and to my own perspective. Learning when to take correction and when to stand my ground is often a challenge, but I am working on it! I have a strong love for people and do not want even one to be lost and without Jesus.
