Introduction

• Proverbs 23:23
• Objective – truth that exists independently of individual perspectives, emotions, or biases.
• Subjective – based on my individual experience, and not to be universally applied.
• John 8:44

Truth is inescapable

• Acts 17:16-21, 30-33 – Did their rejection mean that what Paul said wasn’t true? No!
• Some things are universally true.
• Some people believe people can choose to be cats.
• If you try to say there is no objective truth, you are making a statement about objective truth and are inconsistent with yourself.

Humans often have a flawed perception of truth, but that doesn’t mean truth doesn’t exist.

I may be opposed to the truth.

• II Timothy 3:7-9, 1-6
