yes... we have been given truth... but many deny the truth because of how long it has been around, they feel as if it has been... changed. In the Holy Scriptures it says that God does not change, He is perfect, the Author of truth...the Creator of the word truth. the word truth can be called the Word of God... Jesus was the word of God , the Lamb of God... and to be OF God is to BE God. God condems the believers of lies but rewards those who embrace and love the truth. Please believe.

The whole line between right and wrong has been blurred over time and with the increasingly egocentric society. The country has abandoned values and morals, and black/white and wrong/right have melted.
There are absolute rights and wrongs. There are absolute truths, but they don't suit the needs of the masses, so they are ignored.
But without acknowledging these absolutes, society as we know it has become amoral.
It is going to take us taking back the high road and trying to turn this absurdity around. And it is only by turniing back to the basics, God, country, truth and loyalty that we have any hope for survival.

*absolute
The nature of truth is objective not subjective. Truth is objective because it can be tested, proven, and is right for all time.
For instance: Is murder, child rape and torture wrong? If you believe that truth is objective then you would say: yes.
If you believe truth is subjective, then you would say: well it just depends on the person. Subjectivity is dependent on the SUBJECT for the answer. It only deals with what is true for the person. (which is always changing) After all, a murderer would tell you he has no problem with it and maybe even that its not wrong (but he knows its wrong deep down) but we all know hes wrong because murder is objectively truthfully wrong.
Otherwise you have to become a moral relativist. And if you believe that morality is subjective then you believe practically that there is nothing wrong with what HITLER DID! You may not agree with it but since morality is relative and subjective, there is no objective basis on which to judge Hitler. Moral relativism simply denies reality. Somethings are REALLY WRONG, like what Hitler did: exterminating 6 million Jews and trying to conquor the world.

No, there are absolute truths. Like absolutely the sun will rise in the morning, opposed to the evening. It is absolutely true that once you are born you will die. It is absolutely true, if you cut yourself you will bleed. It is absolutely true that you as a person can not fly exactly like a bird, or disappear like a ghost or walk through solid objects.
These are absolutely, absolute truths. So absolutely all absolute truths that do exist are absolutely true.

That can't be true if there are no absolute truths!
The thought that there are no absolute truths is a distraction invented by the Devil to make people think that they can never really no anything for sure. It makes people doubt their belief systems and causes confusion.

First you are contradicting your statement, and secondly no thats a falsehood. By making the statement a statement that there isnt you then make that statement the absolute truth.
Yes there are Absolutes; because there is one Who is Absolute. He is absolute in authority - Absolute in perfection - Absolute in Power - Absolute in Truth - Absolute in all things except -falsehoods

Experience truth directly via enlightenment - everything else is just a bunch of concepts and beliefs.

Yes.
I mean, no.
Behold the limitations of language to point out truth.
