No Perfect Truths?

     "What is truth?"  This is what Pontius Pilate asked Jesus when he was brought before him to determine if Jesus should be crucified or not (John 18:38).  Today the only accepted truth is what you want to believe.  This of course, makes NO logical sense!  How can truth be anything but what it is . . . absolute?  If truth is subjective (what you think it is) then can it be real truth?  Is the world flat if I want to believe it is?  If you say there is "no absolute truth," you're making an absolute statement which contradicts itself, because truth, by its very nature, has to be objective (absolute; meaning it has a standard or rule which makes it so).  "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" (John 14:6)  Now that's an absolute statement!
     In the song "Unobstructed Views" by Death Cab for Cutie, the lyrics are as follows:  "There's no eye in the sky/Just our love/No unobstructed views/No perfect truths/Just our love."  The first time I heard this song, I immediately recognized the worldview which is one of denial.  But, denying that God exists, isn't going to make Him go away, nor the truth of His Word.  In a later track on the album "Codes and Keys" called "St Peter's Cathedral," the song laments the waste of such a grand structure for the worship of a god which doesn't exist.  The composer repeats over and over again, "there's nothing past this."  This of course, is what he wants to believe because without the eyes of faith (which has to be given to him by God Himself), he really can't knowingly say there is no afterlife.  It's funny to me that one has to make an absolute statement when denying the existence of absolutes.
     This Wednesday, we'll open our study at Christ Church youth group asking the question, "What makes the Bible unique?"  Those of us who know God in Christ, not only believe that absolute truth exists as the standard set forth in the Bible, but because the Holy Spirit has opened our eyes in regeneration, we know that it is the absolute TRUTH.
