This is definately a stray from your typical thread topics. And yeah, it is.

No. There is an absolute true, but no person (including Jesus) can ever know what it is.

Hey! JIA, why haven't you been Raptured yet?

Yes, it is, but it is pointless to argue it.

Similarly, the statement of "there are always exceptions to the rule" is a universe-imploding paradox.

In Soviet Union, there is no absolute you!

Okay. It's not the BEST Yakov impersonation. It might not even be in the Top 1,000,000 but I couldn't resist.

Anyway, man can not know all. So there can not be an absolute truth as far as WE are concerned.

In my experience most people who say that do so for the humor.

But, yes, that statement is an absolute.

It's a paradox. Kinda like the whole God being all powerful.

I believe there are absolutes, I think also, it is probably an absolute that we can never "know" (in the meaning of being 100% sure) whether something is an absolute or not.

I'm writing from Heaven.

I thought that there are no absolutes (according to secular society)?

Telling lies will make you fall into hell. 😉

My beliefs are not secular. I am a Buddhist, and that is quite different from secular society. I think that secular society is wrong on a lot of issues.

Jesus is absolutely the Truth (John 14:6) so that means that Jesus is also Absolute!

He might be. We can not be sure that he is though.
