Controversial Faith: The Exclusivity of Jesus - Jon Tyson

Church of the City New York

NOTE

The Futility of Believing Nobody's Making Truth Claims

Everyone is making truth claims, whether they realize it or not. Claiming there is no truth implies a truth. Asserting uncertainty about truth implies knowledge of truth. The statement 'there are no absolutes' presents an absolute. Saying all truth is relative is a relative truth claim. The idea of 'your truth and my truth' still implies a shared truth. Denouncing discussion about God as meaningless raises questions about the statement's validity. Insisting on only knowing truth through experience prompts inquiry into the origin of that truth. Dismissing all advice contradicts itself when advice is given. Claiming nobody can know any truth about religion questions the certainty of that claim. Relying solely on scientific proof as a basis for belief assumes the truth of that principle. Stating that nothing can be known for sure raises doubt regarding the certainty of that statement. Ultimately, the message conveyed is that everyone makes truth claims, consciously or unconsciously.
