Or, is Truth Absolute? If a person's truth conflicts and contradicts with another person's truth, how can both be truth?
Because they aren't listening to one another.Conscience said:Or, is Truth Absolute? If a person's truth conflicts and contradicts with another person's truth, how can both be truth?

Conscience said:So is truth relative or absolute?
Person A is using a metaphor, perhaps?Conscience said:Let me offer ya'll some advice. Dont think too hard, the answer to this question is quite obvious. There is no need to philosophise. There's a great scripture that says:
Colossians 2:8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
How can truth be anything other than what it claims to be - absolute? Here's an example of what I mean:
Person A say: I am the lamb of God that is dying for your sins. You can only get to God through me.
Person B say: Person A did not die on a cross, but was taken up to God. You can get to God through the good you do for God.
How can both be true?

First, that's a tautology and not a "truth." Second, if this is so then how can 1+1+1=1?Conscience said:I'll do you guys a favor and leave you with some truth. 1+1=2
I don't feel confused about God. Nor do I think God changes. And I do believe that God is Truth.Conscience said:That said, we all know that God isnt a God of confusion, and that he remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. We also know that God is truth. So, if truth is relative, there is no truth because it would constantly "evolve."
Actually, 1+1 does not always equal 2. Especially in practical matters. Furthermore, there are mathematical proofs that are "impossible" in real life, such as 1=0. I leave you to research that on your own, if you like.I'll do you guys a favor and leave you with some truth. 1+1=2, if you jump off the empire state building, whether you believe in gravity or not, you'll fall. Astronauts get into space because of "truth" not because of good intentioned.
I'm guessing you meant "don't" philosophize, just think about it. Am I the only one who finds that paradoxical statement extremely funny?Dot philosophize. Just think about it.
Well saidAbogado del Diablo said:Truth isn't relative. Our perception of Truth is relative. It has to be. Think about that for a bit, Conscience.
Again, everyone did, they just aren't listening to one another.Conscience said:Again, God is not about confussion. Who recieved the truth?
Abogado del Diablo said:First, that's a tautology and not a "truth." Second, if this is so then how can 1+1+1=1?
Naw, 1+1+1=1.lunamoth said:1 x 1 x 1 =
