The Absolute Truth

[ronedee]

You can call the Holy Spirit an intuitive mind, or even feelings if you like! But the Holy Spirit represents "ABSOLUTE TRUTH"!

What else can be called that? What do we know as absolute truth? Things we see? Things others tell us? Math? Science? People?
If there is no absolute truth in what we see or know, where are we to turn?

I'm not much concerned with absolute truth. Just plain old for-sure truth is hard enough to come by. Truth has to do with correspondence between claims about things and how those things actually stand. "The truth" only arises as a concept in the context of language. There is no "truth" apart from language. Without language, what is is and that's it. With language what I say is so has to actually be as stated or else it isn't the truth.

Language is pretty new so truth is also pretty new. We've evolved to handle language and in the process, the means for creating the concept of truth. However we did not evolve to pursue the truth. We evolved to pursue dinner. Language helped us get dinner; the concept of "the truth", not so much.

So I'm not really sure what you mean by "absolute truth". I suspect you really mean something like the "truth about the absolute", rather than the highest degree of truth. What is the absolute? Is anything real less real than any other real thing? Even if your god were real, how would its reality be any more or less real than any one of us?

I'm trying to wrap my head around what you are saying...but it seems that either you don't think there is an absolute(one) truth, or it doesn't exist?

Every atheist ...eh...rational atheist I've conversed with has always pointed out that "a god, if he indeed so exists....would be omnipotent."
(i.e. able to do anything!)

So...wouldn't that "theory" alone, in itself, prove that there "might" be "one truth" or One God...somewhere, beyond our understanding?

Do we NOT search for answers to EVERYTHING? I mean what is the point of trying to find water on other celestial bodies?

Maybe because we "don't know" everything yet? Do we stop looking because we think we are right...

Translation? We don't know jack about anything in life! And that's why we keep searching.... For the Truth!

And here is the Atheistic paradox....You are willing to accept the fact that there are things you don't know about.....BUT, God is not one of them! Even IF He created EVERYTHING!

And this is also why being an Atheist is just plain ignorant!
