In religious circles today, there is a broad discussion about the nature of truth. I have been involved in some of those discussions and listened in on others on Internet discussion groups. Most of them turn into a highly philosophical debate over questions such as these:  "Is the Truth objective or subjective?" or "Is the Truth absolute or relative?"

Whether we think philosophically or not, the issue confronts everyone sooner or later. In fact, this issue came up in our church some years ago when a young family visited our church for several months.  I have been told that they loved the people, loved the building, loved the programs, but finally decided to find another church. When someone asked them why they left our church, they replied, "Your church doesn't seem to believe in Absolute Truth."

How did they decide that this church did not believe in Absolute Truth? Did someone tell them that? And what did this young family mean by that phrase, "Absolute Truth?"  If we don't believe in Absolute Truth, what kind of truth do we believe in?  What is so dangerous about this Subjective Truth others condemn?  Why is Objective Truth so much better than Subjective Truth? More importantly, where does the Bible discuss the difference between them?
