We live in the age of "whateverism" where it is viewed as narrow-minded and arrogant to claim to know absolute truth. After all, who has the right to claim that they hold a corner on what is true regardless of people's views and experience?

What is absolute truth? It is something that is true no matter what the time, place, or culture. Put another way, it’s something that is true whether people believe it to be true or not.

One who rejects absolute truth is a relativist. To him, all truth is relative. What may be true for you may not be true for me. But there is a huge fault in this thinking. To say that truth is relative is to say an absolute. If all truth is relative, then it’s not true that all truth is relative, because to say that all truth is relative is to say something that’s not relative. If truth is simply someone’s opinion, than to say that all truth is relative is just another opinion, holding no more validity than to say that the sun is made out of spinach leaves. Put another way, to say that there is no such thing as an absolute—that statement is an absolute.

It is impossible to assert anything about anything without starting from an absolute. So the better question is not: Are there absolutes? but What is the absolute we are seeking?

I would rather believe in Someone willing to die for me, willing to give up everything for my unworthy soul, Someone who’s views have not changed in the last 2,000 years and whose views have never once been disproved by a single fact of science, history, or archaeology, than to follow the opinion of a professor or a new movement that will be trumped by a new idea fifteen or twenty years from now, only for that new idea to be trumped by a new one in the following decade.

I propose to you that the absolute truth that never lies, never changes, and one that you can always trust is everything Jesus Christ says. The apostle Paul tells us in Colossians 2:3 that in Christ “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” From the tiniest subatomic particle to the largest star in space, in Christ, says Paul, is all knowledge.
