"I would rather have my baby killed than be expected to exercise reproductive responsibility," would seem to be the mantra of many voters.

[jlisenbe]

That explains where you got the youth vote. I stand corrected.

I must confess that I was rather impressed with this. It was one of those ultra-rare moments on this site where someone acknowledged his/her own error.

Historian professor Victor Davis Hanson has a brilliant take on the election .

The country is changing. The idea that truth is relative has taken hold and those who believe that resent being told that what they believe just may very well be wrong. Colleges are contributing greatly to that error.

John 18:38 (NKJV) -- Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.

The idea that truth is relative

Your truth or my truth?

[jlisenbe]

Your truth or my truth?

Neither. THE truth.

Historian professor Victor Davis Hanson has a brilliant take on the election .

You call that a brilliant idea. I call it far right propaganda. The guy HATES Hillary Clinton and IDOLIZES Donald Trump. What more does anyone need?

According to Hanson, the Democrat candidates in the 2022 election are all mediocre and media creations. The Republicans are statesmen. Hard to believe he would put such nonsense in writing for anyone to see.

John 18:38 (NKJV) -- Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.

Apparently, Jesus found no fault in Pilate's question clearly implying truth is not the same for all. I.e., relative.

[jlisenbe]

Apparently, Jesus found no fault in Pilate's question

There are a number of statements made in the presence of Jesus which he did not reply to. A non-reply is far removed from, "Jesus found no fault." And that's especially true when you consider his declaration that, “I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." There is no room in the Bible for this idea that truth and opinion are basically equivalent.

[Athos]

Apparently, Jesus found no fault in Pilate's question clearly implying truth is not the same for all. I.e., relative.

Woops. I put Pilate's words in the mouth of Jesus. That was a BIG no-no. Apologies to WG.

[tomder55]

truth is absolute . There is no alternative to truth Pilot's relativism is gospel for the left

[jlisenbe]

What? You don't accept the words of that famous early Christian leader, Pilate? [SARC]

[Wondergirl]

truth is absolute . There is no alternative to truth

Your truth or mine?

You: The glass is half empty.
Me: The glass is half full.

[tomder55]

yeah that was Pilot's question .

if truth is not absolute then there is no such thing as truth

[Athos]

yeah that was Pilot's question .

if truth is not absolute then there is no such thing as truth

Jesus according to John was claiming to be the truth. Pilate's question was not denying truth, he was asking what it is. Surely, that is a legitimate question. Jesus didn't answer.

[jlisenbe]

You: The glass is half empty.
Me: The glass is half full.

There is no contradiction there. It is simply two ways of describing the same truth and is certainly not two differing truths. If the glass has a capacity of one pint, then the glass has one cup of water in it in both cases.


I weigh 180 pounds.
I weigh 200 - 20 pounds.

[Wondergirl]

There is no contradiction there.

What if one glass contains lemonade and the other vodka?

[jlisenbe]

Then it is absolutely true that one contains one cup of lemonade and the other contains one cup of vodka. There are not two differing truths. They are both half-empty and half-full.

[Wondergirl]

Thus, my truth is that Genesis 3 is an allegory. Your truth is that it happened exactly as described.
