Whose Truth is True?
“All religious views are true.” This is known as religious pluralism. It is important to point out, however, that most religions don’t hold to such a belief. Why? It’s absurd. Based on the Law of Noncontradiction (A is not non-A), it’s impossible for all religions to be true. It is impossible to affirm God exists and deny he exists at the same time and in the same sense. Christianity, for example, believes in God, but atheism and religions such as Buddhism deny God exists. Either there is a God or there is not. It can’t be both.
What is Truth?
Be careful not to buy into the self-defeating belief that truth is relative, for even the assertion that there is no absolute truth claims to be absolutely true. There are many people today who push their thinking on Christians to be more tolerant and accept the belief that truth is not absolute or exclusive. King David wrote, “Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation” (Ps. 25:5 ESV). God is truth, and your life is in far better hands than if you trust the lies spouted out in the world.
