Usually, truth relativism is only used when there are complex objective truth-claims, *as to whether it is true,* not whether it is an objective type of claim!
was watching and listening to this when it hit me..this would actually lead us back to slavery..i'm beginning to suspect that 'faith' is a very rational process..
Beautiful.
God bless you.
Love that Abraham Lincoln quote 😊
True, they can't live out their subjective moralistic ungodly view.
I do now! When I was younger I wasn't aware of danger or death! 😔 I have a learning disability! 😞 My teachers didn't care if I learn. I had bad grades and I was still past! 🙁 Only one held me back! 😌 Iron sharpens Iron. You have helped me learn! 😟 So thank you Mr Wallace! 🤗 God bless you 🙌🙌🙌 😇🙏❤️🕊️

Relativist: "Well, that's your opinion – OUCH!"
