Don't be one of the casualties



Absolute Truth

“…Christianity rests on a foundation of absolute truth, and that foundation is as sturdy as a rock.

1 Kings 17:24; Psalm 25:5; John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 6:7; Ephesians 4:15; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 John 3:19

Biblical Christians believe that moral absolutes---such as “You shall have no other gods before me” and “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:3,13)---are grounded in the absolutely moral God of Scripture (Matthew 5:48).  God stands against the moral relativist, whose behavior is based on whatever is right in his own eyes. 

Deuteronomy 12:8; Judges 17:6; 21:25  

The absolutely moral Creator-God (Isaiah 44:24) has communicated precisely what moral behavior He expects of us (Exodus 20:1-17), so we, His creatures, are responsible to render obedience (Deuteronomy 11:13, 27-28).

This is an important issue because moral relativism leaves no way to distinguish between truth and error, right and wrong.  The road of moral relativity has no center stripe of absolute truth.  

Consequently, this highway is littered with casualties. 

He will die for lack of discipline,  
led astray by his own great folly.
Proverbs 5:23

Pearl of Wisdom:  

You can be absolutely sure that absolute truth is real and that each of us will one day face the absolutely moral God of the universe to give an account for the way we responded to His absolute truth.
