God definitely is the only source of absolute truth, but you’re wrong about thinking that we cannot know it for ourselves. Jesus said, “you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) God wants us to know the truth – that’s why He gave us the Bible.

Now, I completely agree with you that the Bible has been used to excuse some pretty messed up stuff. But the issue there is that someone twisted and distorted the Bible to make it say what they wanted it to say…which leads to serious problems. And that’s why we need to diligently study the Bible. We need to know exactly what it says and interpret it correctly. We need to think the way that God thinks.

There are certainly areas that are confusing and not quite clear, so those aren’t issues we should be so emphatic about. But there are many things that the Bible is crystal clear on, and if God is crystal clear on it, then we absolutely can know that it is true and absolutely should teach our kids that it’s true.

God wants us to know the truth. That’s why He gave us the holy spirit to “guide us into all truth” (John 16:13).

Except you’re doing it right now. And I find it pretty offensive. There is only one truth out there, but as finite beings, it’s impossible for us to say that we are in possession of it. God is the only one capable of knowing absolute truth. Everything else is just a flawed attempt. And even if you and I think we have a pretty good handle on what the Bible means, we also need to remember that throughout history, the Bible and “God’s truth” have been used to motivate some pretty messed up stuff. More than anything, I think we just need to be really careful when we start determining what truth is. Let’s let God do that and instead, seek Him and teach others how to do the same (how to think)

This might mean they come to different conclusions (what to think) than us. It happens. And who, besides God, is to say that I’m right, and they’re wrong when it does.

It is a self-defeating position because the promoters of this philosophy ARE willing to say that the statement affirming the existence of absolute truth is wrong! The statement, “There are no universal truths” is an attempt at a universal truth. Again, self-defeating.

Ironically, the pushers of this agenda respond to critics in the exact same way that their critics are forbidden from responding to them. Anyone opposes it is the villain because they’re “judgmental.” Judging has become the worst crime possible, even though discerning between fact and fiction and between truth and falsehood requires one to make judgments!

Somehow, the law of non-contradiction is neglected. The logical conclusion of this post-modern, nonsensical drivel is that your reality is whatever you want it to be. Hey, the Civil War started in 1861 to you, but to me, it didn’t, and we’re both right. The sun may exist to you, but to me, it doesn’t, and we’re both right. It’s actually quite lazy because it requires no investigation of evidence.

You can have your own opinions, but you can’t have your own facts. Unfortunately, the line between them is becoming blurrier by the day.
