Truth

[BeckyJ]

In your opinion is truth objective or subjective?

- Objective truth is generally defined as a statement that corresponds to reality, independent of personal feelings, opinions, or biases.
- Subjective truth is influenced by personal beliefs, feelings, or perspectives.

 

[Daniel Carlton]

Truth is objective based on the eternal unchanging word of God. And all practices and ideas should flow from that point.

Whether "truth" is objective or subjective is more of a metaphysical or epistemological question, not really an ethical one.

I'm sorry to derail the discussion, but being as philosophically aware as I try to be, I just thought I'd add this little extra point in here.

Jesus clearly states that truth only.comes from the Father and that His church would be built upon it, not the false will of man. Religion is subjective as it is formulated using God but subject to the will of man.

The op begins by asking for an opinion. That is a problematic articulation as posed because it creates a contradiction in reasoning for those who would rather state facts than opine.

Truth=information=knowledge.

Knowledge is learned because it is dictated by the facts of reality and NOT imagined in one's mind.

However, this necessarily means there exists 'ignorance' of what is The Truth, which also means the terms 'objective' and 'subjective' do not form a true dichotomy when referencing perspectives/views. Hence an objective view of reality would contain all subjective views and would not discount the validity of each person's unique experience in reality.

Truth is objective. There is only one reality, and truth is an accurate reflection of reality.

Not all questions or statements are amenable to being classified as true or false. "Vanilla tastes better than chocolate." is obviously a subjective opinion rather than a fact about all of reality.

Who’s reality? The Kingdom’s or what man perceives as real but God calls backwards?

It depends. There are some objective truths like in maths or material science but also subjective truths like who is the best team to support or what religion to cleave to.

Happily dashing babies skulls in is wrong even if God commands it.

Truth=information=knowledge.

I’m not wholly convinced that this is true.
