From Lane Chaplin:
Have you ever had someone tell you, “Hey, you have your truth and I have mine. There is no such thing as absolute truth.”?
At that point you should then ask them, “Is what you’ve just said, ‘there is no absolute truth’ absolutely true?”
They may say, “Well, I’m just saying that we can’t be completely sure about anything.”
You should then ask, “Are you completely sure that we can’t be completely sure about anything?”
Then they may say, “Ok, ok… You’re not right because we can’t know that anything is right or wrong. That’s all I’m saying. It’s all relative.”
You should then say, “Is what you’re saying, ‘You’re not right because we can’t know if anything is right or wrong’ …right?”
Behold, the essence of “post-modernism” or relativism as it’s also so called. Here’s basically what the philosophy stands for: Self-refutuation. It’s a walking contradiction, and it’s a lie. When someone says that we can’t know if anything is absolutely true, tell them that they are lying and remind them what one is called who tells lies. Of course they will get mad, but anyone who doesn’t love truth and says we can’t really know what truth is, is opposed to the One who is the Truth, the Way, and the Life and those who believe in Him.

Excellent video!! I especially liked where Spurgeon was quoted.
I’ve got a question that has always plagued me - perhaps someone here can answer.
Re: Believing wrong will lead to wrong actions (which I believe)
Since we are all mere humans and prone to err, (and can’t be perfect) then is it still counted as sin when we’re wrong?
I believe Spurgeon was saying that it is counted as a sin.
No absolute truth? LOL
No, is an absolute.
To use an absolute to deny the existence of absolute truth must be one of the ‘greatest idea’ of ‘post modernism’.
Well said, brother!
