You believe that being Gay is wrong whereas I believe that it is thier freedom of choice and right to be Gay.... I believe there is nothing wrong at all with it....

Now that was an example of Relative Truth.....
PLEASE do not start an argument about being gay in this thread and also ATTEMPT to stick with the topic at hand

You avoided my question entirely as well.... as such i will ask it once more...

DO you understand the difference between Esoteric Truth and Scientific Truth or knowledge if you will....????
I answered your last question, I said "Yeah" I looked up the word when I read that post.

Now relative truth is still truth, but there are alot of what if's involved. Which I will explain as best as I can.


To me and for everyone in the world, there is an absolute truth of do unto others as you would like done unto you. This is considered the "Golden Rule" by many, but not by me or Jesus.

Now I can prove it, lets say you are walking down the street and for no reason a group of kids jump out and begin to beat you down and steal your money.
Would anyone like this to be done? If you do then you are lying.
I know from first hand what it is like to be chased by a gang, and let me say it is not fun.

Now this is an extreme example, but it has the same principle in even the small examples.

Most everything concerning right and wrong is a grey issue.
Grey meaning it is an absolute truth of which way to go depending on the situation and facts of the matter.

Is it ok to kill? sometimes
Is it ok to steal? sometimes, but only if you plan to pay it back.
Is it ok to punch someone? sometimes
Is it ok to murder? No.

I can steal food if I need it to survive, but I must pay it back, so as to right the wrong.But other than that I don't think there is a time to steal something and be justified, I could be wrong, but that depends on the situation.

Its ok to kill someone in selfdefense, but you should never murder.

But without the first rule of Love the Lord with all your heart, you can't help but be lost in this area.
Because God is the one who sets up the standard for which everyone should go by.


A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lamstand?
For nothing is hidden, except to revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. Mark 4:21+24
