A little something to test yourself on the validity of absolute truth...

Absolute Truth= false.

But you just made an absolute statement... if absolute truth is false, then so is your statement... but that makes absolute truth true!

Logically, any way you look at it, there must be some sort of absolute truth. What is subjective is our interpretation of truth. What we understand to be true can be stretched, twisted and changed - but always, the absolute, real truth is there to be discovered.

Agreed!...The following comes from my good friend Dr. Mark Linville from his work What is Truth? (co-authored by Paul Copan):

"When we are willing to ask serious questions about morality, we find that we don't really believe that moral values are relative. Just ask yourself: 'Do you right now believe that it is okay to murder or to be murdered?' You might think: 'Well, some people have thought so.' But the question is: 'Do you--not other people--right now have any doubt about the wrongness of murder?' This is the place to begin--not what other people have alleged. So we do not have to waste our time talking about what we both accept as true. We can, instead, begin discussing the real issue--namely, which viewpoint best accounts for the existence of objective moral values."

I'm not familiar with the topic of absolute truth in all honesty. Does it just apply exclusively to Christanity or is it common in other world religions?

Why is it so controversial?

Let me give you an example. your wife/girlfriend says to you, do I look fat in this? The absoulute truth (if she does), is going to hurt bad (you mostly..). so you say, hmmm... I don't really like the cut, color, etc. See the difference?

Also, maybe she looks fat to you, and to someone else, she is perfect. Where does the truth actually lie in that case. in your perception, or the other persons?

Well, what if she were wearing a football helmet, a "Frankie Goes To Hollywood" T-shirt, a skirt made of used garbage bags, and platform clogs?
