Christians and Atheists . Does absolute truth exist?

Question

Please state you answer and whether you are a Christian or an Atheist

Answer 1

God is perfect. He cannot sin nor lie. Therefore absolute truth exists.

Simple as that

Answer 2

I hate being left out of questions just because I am not a Christian or an Atheist, as if they are the only people with opinions that matter. I am a polytheist and damn proud of it.

So, my answer? Yes, there is "absolute truth." We see some of it all the time. 2+2=4 is absolute. At this moment in time, the Earth exists. These are absolute truths. But most truths, we will probably never know, and so just have to take our best guess. We have to guess at whether there is a God or several gods, life on other planets, the existence of an eternal soul, and many other niggling questions we entertain ourselves with on a long winter's night. That best guess may be faith in a religion, or it may be atheism, but it's really just a guess.

People who say they know what the "absolute truth" is... is lying. They are either lying to us or to themselves, since such a thing is simply not possible. Is it really so hard to admit that we just don't have all the answers? Apparently so.

I believe in the gods of my ancestors, but do they exist? Maybe not. Even so, I just do the best I can with what I've got, and that means to honor the gods and my ancestors as if they were, indeed, real.

Answer 3

I am a Christian, and yes, I believe absolute truth exists. The problem I have with dualism is that "what's right for me is right for me, what's right for you is right for you" only goes so far . . . if I steal something of yours because it's right for me, who are you to tell me I'm wrong?

And yes, I know Christians do not always represent absolute truth in their actions; I further recognize that we do not always follow Christ as we should. I'm making these admissions to save anybody from calling out Christians. But just because we do not always follow the teachings of absolute truth doesn't mean it's non-existent.

While I may believe in absolute truth, I do believe in the right for others to have their beliefs as well (regardless of whether they agree or disagree with mine).

Answer 4

That's pretty tricky. I would have to say no. When we remember an event, the memories are influence by what happens in our life after an event as well as out feelings of the event.What we remember is usually not the absolute truth! Math is the closest to absolute truth, but in measuring a lot of things we can not measure to the absolute truth. We can say a race car is going at 120 miles per an hour, but this is only a close approximation. Also different people remember and measure things differently. They may come up with different answers. It may be that both answers are correct but no answer would be the absolute truth. I'm an atheist.

Answer 5

Atheist, and yes, it does. It is our ability to perceive it that is the problem. If you are looking out a window and see a car go by are you in your house standing still? or are you on a bus and it is the car that is standing still? or are you watching it on TV and it has already happened? The truth may be one of these or something else entirely, but it does exist. I think it would be egotistical to claim that there is no such thing as absolute truth just because we cannot perceive it.

Answer 6

Absolute truth:Jesus died for sinful man.
I except that as absolute truth.

Answer 7

Christian. All genuine truth is absolute. Anything that is not absolute is just opinion.

Answer 8

Of course. Depending upon the subject, only a very few individuals probably are privy to such.

Most times we all work with something in between. Even God may at times tell us a reason, a truthful one -- it's just not the whole reason and the whole truth.

As an example I give the account about the deluge. On this page there is further speculation as to the deeper reasons for why the deluge was chosen as the means of eradicating evil antediluvian mankind. (C.)

As far as science goes, scientists always work somewhat in the dark -- otherwise why keep studying if they know it all.

Thus our scientific facts have greatly changed sometimes drastically every decade.

Evolution itself probably has greatly changed since Darwin. Mathematics have several times shown with probability studies that their belief most assuredly is nothing but fancy faith in clouds of smoke.

Answer 9

The MOST IMPORTANT TRUTH in the BIBLE is that JESUS was sent here by our FATHER to be OUR SIN-EATER, for everyone ALL THE WAY BACK TO ADAM AND EVE!
The Holy Spirit leads and guides me into all TRUTH...He gives me understanding, discernment, and comprehension so that I am preserved from the snares of the evil one!
The Incorruptible SEED, the LIVING WORD, The WORD of TRUTH, is abiding in my SPIRIT because I CHOOSE to agree with the WORD of GOD...and I TRY to disagree with any thoughts, conditions, or circumstances CONTRARY to HIS WORD....
May HIS WILL BE DONE in ALL who rejoice in our Father, Jesus Christ!
.......F.Y.I.......
And for those who don't believe in Jesus, and don't believe HE can take our sins away, what do YOU do with YOUR sins?....Will YOU wallow in them for eternity in HELL?
God gives us a conscience when we are born, so that WE instinctively know right from wrong...So PEOPLE, WHY do YOU go on sinning without any remorse for YOUR actions?....Don't YOU know that SIN is a struggle between good and evil?....Why can't YOU see that SATAN is using YOU and YOUR SIN for HIS GAIN.?...Just because WE can't see EVIL, we sure can FEEL it....and just because you can't see JESUS, doesn't mean he does NOT exist........If everyone would come to our Father, and accept Jesus as our sin-eater, we would have a perfect world!...
...The Fruit of God's Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Galations 5:22-23
Thank you GOD for SENDING your SON to take AWAY our SINS and give us a way to YOU!
