At the 2018 Golden Globe Awards Oprah Winfrey said,
“What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.”
“Your truth?”
I heard Dr. Paul Copan speak at a conference held on the campus of a local university. He is a brilliant philosopher and defender of the Christian faith.
He wisely – and logically – states,
“To say there is no (absolute, objective) truth for all people is to declare a truth for all people.”
In other words, a person who claims there is no universal truth is, themself, claiming a universal truth. Hence, their claim/opinion is self-defeating.
Most Christians are either ill-equipped to stand up to the “truth is relative” philosophy, or just too scared to do so.
Watch the brief video clip below. In less than 2 minutes, Copan gives us confidence, boldness and logic.
