I got into a discussion, which quickly degraded into something I hadn’t seen coming. And it was a talk with someone I didn’t think would take things in such a negative direction. I won’t go into those details right now. But, after the scene was over, I thought back to an absolute truth test I posted exactly 11 years ago, today.
I’m gonna share it with you again. Because if there’s no such thing as absolute truth, then my faith is based on potentially false information. And that could be disastrous. Unless, of course, everyone’s going to Heaven, regardless of what they do, say, or think in this life.
So, here’s the test I shared. And it’s not based on professional psychoanalysis or scientific diagrams or mathematical data. I’m just asking questions I believe can help you understand why it’s important to know. Doesn’t matter if you’re a simple singer songwriter, a corporate CEO, a truck driver, a teacher, or a mom or dad. Because it’s a good idea to know if absolute truth exists.

Does your worldview make you say something like, “Truth doesn’t exist.” Or “Absolute truth doesn’t exist.” If so, then you need another worldview because your current one refutes itself in about 1 second.
To deny truth is to deny your own existence. Or at the very least, question your own existence. And when you can’t even be sure if YOU exist, then absolutely nothing else you say or do has any meaning or relevance. After all, why would I (or anyone) want to waste time debating issues with someone who might not even exist?
I encourage you to seek truth. Seek wisdom. When you get it, I promise, you absolutely won’t be sorry.
