They seem like no one is true but them. Truth to them is like land, overcome your enemies and take the land. Truth is everywhere and it belongs to no one, especially not you and your little holy babble. But you keep thinking the way you do and slowly you will strengthen the bars of your own prison which is ignorance.

Jesus Christ said, "I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE."
Jesus is that TRUTH and it belongs to everybody, but it's up to you whether you accept it or not.

To a fair extent that is inherent to the nature of "truth" rather than being a specific Christian problem (Though the Christian faith is not thereby excluded)
If one thing is held to be true, other things cannot be.
In the absence of certain and agreed proof, this leads to competing claims and beliefs.
(Human-made global warming, Palestine/Israel... the list is endless)
There is some mileage in the relative truth concept
"It may be true for you, but it isn't true for me..." provided the distinction between beliefs and a possible external reality is acknowledged. Some assured truths of history have been shown to be mere popular or one-sided opinions. "How the West was Won", or "Ethnic Cleansing"?
But Jesus either rose from the dead or he did not. There is no room for both to be personally true in the same universe. Both *beliefs* can exist in the same universe, clearly!
Your last point is correct but again, not just for Christians.
It is very dangerous to think one has arrived at a "final" truth than needs no further thought, or re-evaluation, ever.

Well said. They are fanatics, pushing their beliefs on others as 'gospel truth' because the more people who believe, the more secure they feel in believing. After all, their beliefs aren't logically justifiable, and they know it. Who wants to let go of a comforting, heaven and afterlife, you'll see your departed loved ones again, myth? All they have is 'well, x number of people believe, so it MUST be true'. Kind of like the Grammy awards, if you think about it...

If I make the remark that a *actual Christian* beleives the observe of God, that may no longer judgmental, that's the reality in the observe...... If I say a *actual Christian* does no longer attempt to crame the observe of God down anothers throat, that may no longer judgmental, that's certainty in the observe...... yet, I seldom if ever use the term *actual Christian*, because of the fact it ability no longer something, what does, is the physique of Christ, now that's the place we are seperated..... only the Holy Spirit can positioned all people INTO the physique of Christ, and not all who say they seem to be a member are !!!!! And that too is in the Scriptures !!!! And particular, branch is a common and scripturual ingredient, we are able to be divided into Sheep and Goat.... no longer all who say Lord, Lord, will enter the dominion of Heaven.... *shrug*...... and so it is going.......... bypass in peace....... God bless

Your ineptitude overcomes you..........The Word of God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is Truth. The ONLY truth. Jesus Christ His Son is His Gift of Grace to those who believe and accept Him into their lives. We are Christians and we have the ONLY truth there is!!.....That is the only way to receive eternal life. If you cannot handle the truth you should cry to your mother in your helpless gloom. You have been deceived by Satan and still live in darkness and cannot possibly comprehend the light of the truth. Your rancid decay of misguided thoughts and moral depravity reek of wickedness within your retched soul. Your past sorrows and inescapable fears cry for mercy in utter torment in your moment of despair. The truth is not in you, only lies and deceit, the traits of your father the devil who roams the earth seeking whom he can devour. The path you are on is your destiny of fate which leads to your eternal destruction. To seek the light of the truth would mean to deliver yourself laid bare in your iniquities and to never again look back. This is the only way to salvation of which obviously has eluded you...........

You see the truth shall make you free, you are not free, because it is the truth that you know, that's makes you free, and you don't know. The truth is Jesus sends his spirit into you if you know the truth but you don't. John 3, then get back to me! act 2
