Relativism
Relativism—the philosophical position that all points of view are equally valid & that all truth is relative to the individual.
1. “All truth is relative.”
If all truth is relative, then the statement “All truth is relative” would be absolutely true.
2. “There are no absolute truths.”
The statement, “There are no absolute truths” is an absolute statement that’s supposed to be true.
Therefore, it’s absolute truth; & “There are no absolute truths” is false.
3. “What is true for you is not true for me.”
If what’s true for me is that relativism is false, then is it true that relativism is false?
4. “That is your reality, not mine.”
Is my reality really real or not? If it is, then my reality states that relativism is false.
If my reality isn’t true, then relativism isn’t true either since it states that my reality is true.
“We all perceive what we want”
“We are only perceiving different aspects of the same reality”
“No one can know anything for sure.”
Among Christians, 54% identify God as the basis of truth.
"We are seeing an untethered generation, young people completely adrift, with no foundation in God, biblical truth, or standards of morality—the very things that enabled generations before them to live well & flourish. Those who still recognize the truth of God & His standards have a responsibility to share these with the next generation. Or they will be lost to this next generation, & maybe to our nation forever."
God’s word has to be valued, read, taught, & lived out in our homes.
