Do you believe in absolute truth? If not, why?

Answer 1

I absolutely have 5 fingernails at the end of each limb. that's the truth.

Answer 2

I am only speaking my thoughts here. You don't have to agree with what I say.

Yes. I believe in absolute truth. Do I believe that humans have it? Yes and no. I think some people have some absolute truths (such as: knowing there is a God and knowing that God loves us). But I do not think that any person alive has ALL absolute truth.

I also believe that sometimes truth is hard to find. Perception largely determines what people believe. What one person says is true, another person says is false. How is anyone to know what is absolutely true? To me, the answer is to believe in God and sincerely ask Him if something is true. Physical truth is easy enough to understand (like: "The sky is blue"). But spiritual truth is revealed by God.

And then, of course, there's the question: If spiritual truth comes from God, why are there so many different religions? To the best of my knowledge, people are at different levels of understanding. Some people are ready to hear certain truths. Others are not.

Answer 3

Yes. And I think most people do. The only area where they sometimes do not, seems to be in the area of religion - rather than with regard to things that are provable through emperical evidence. (Which leads one to believe that those who do not believe in absolute truth in the area of religion, really don't believe that God exists in the first place - such that they can shape Him into whatever image they want to and call it truth).

This is not to say that some things are not relative. For instance, when my wife says something is "not spicy" that is not always "true for me"....since I have a lesser tolerance for spicy food. But if she says it is a jalepeno pepper and I say for me it is a habenero pepper....we cannot both be right.

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!

Answer 4

I do believe in absolute truth but as humans we can't find it in others. Only God knows what the absolute truth is for anything because he sees all. All we can do is pray that he brings light to situations so theat the truth can be seen.
"And you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free"
Johh 8:32

Answer 5

Yes, I do. Here is a quotation from Rugierro, as I remembered: truth is what is so about something. The reality that exist independent of our existence. If there is no such thing as truth then why dig the grounds for answer, why explore the heavens for answers. Problem is the careless forceps of our minds almost always crushes truth.'

Answer 6

Truth is in the eye of the beholder. Our minds and our brains interpret signals differently. Take color blindness, for example. Someone sees something as red, another sees it black - or gray. Who is right? There cannot be an independant observer because once that happens, we affect the world just by observing. Study quantum physics and you'll see what I mean. So, no, there is no absolute truth - there is only YOUR truth.

Answer 7

Of course, absolute truth can and will exist whether someone believes in it or not. Fact the sky is blue, it does not need your belief to be true, religion tend to give off the impression that it needs your belief to be true, this concept actually defies the laws of physics.

Answer 8

God is absolute truth and I believe in Him.

Answer 9

Yes. Jesus is absolute truth. John 14:6 "I am THE way THE TRUTH and THE life, no one comes to the Father except throught Me.

Answer 10

All genuine truth is absolute. Anything less than absolute is merely opinion, not truth.
