It's absolute. There's no "who" to make it so - it simply is.
Whether we know truth or not is an entirely different question.

There is no "The truth for you."
2+2=4 is a truth. This is not subject to interpretation.
One can say I don't believe you have the truth but truth is just what it is, truth.
Christianity has a rich history which started with the jews at the beginning of time. The bible is filled with historical facts that Archaeologists use and has been proven very reliable. We have over 5000 documented ancient findings of scripture, many in different languages, all the same. WE have the dead sea scrolls to prove this also. The Vatican just bought 2 gospels dating 90 ad, the same as we have today. There is prophesies that has come to pass from the bible that proves it's reliability. Over 300 just for the man Jesus.
We have non christian evidence of Jesus from Tacitus and Josephus both historians. And a Governor named Pliny the Younger who all wrote about "Christos" and his followers the Christan's.
Archaeologists have found the tomb of Caiaphas who was the Pharisee that brought Jesus to trial.
Jesus WAS a real person who was an historical figure. Even well read Atheists KNOW this.
We have eye witnesses who had every thing to loose by claiming to be a follower of Jesus. Why? When Jesus was killed they scattered. Afraid. BUT when they saw he was resurrected they became bold. Why?
Since the bible is reliable, and Jesus WAS here you must decide.
Was he a nut? A liar, Or who he claimed to be.

wow that is an amazing question. well maybe things are never absolute. could this explain why systems break down, objects deteriate and organisms perish. if things were truely absolute wouldnt that mean they continually exist as they are and never perish. im not even going to bother with relative i think my head would pop trying. i dont even know if i got the absolute part right.
im just talking about here in the universe no spiritual stuff

Both, however, I am a Christian and I have my beliefs about the one true truth.
In testimony of Christ’s words, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32)
Jesus saith unto him,
"I am The WAY,
The TRUTH,
and The LIFE:
no man cometh unto the FATHER,
but by ME."
The Holy Bible, John 14:6
Truth is Jesus Christ.

truth is absolute. there is only one truth, and it exists. but, we are infinite beings, and it's hard for us to prove the truth. no one makes it absolute nor relative, it's there, sometimes we know, sometimes we don't.
the truth will set you free. peace be with you!

I guess it depends on what you mean by truth. All moral truth is relative, based on our choices.
If you CHOOSE to believe in a holy book then you have to CHOOSE which part to turn to for advice on morals, and CHOOSE to interpret it a certain way.
Or you could devise your own moral system and skip the middle man.

Truth might be absolute, but there is no way of knowing.

Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth..." Jesus is truth. Jesus is God. God is truth. God is absolute. Truth is absolute.
