No Truth? - John 8:44

 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
 - John 8:44

    The relativist insists, “there is no absolute truth,” and he insists so absolutely! If one is the least bit thoughtful, I believe this relativist position is shattered before it even hits the ground. The argument has the seeds of its own demise born into it. The semantics of such a statement simply defies logic. Still, we have this ongoing battle of words and meanings; hoping that one day the relativists will “get it.”    
    Scripture clearly gets it right in our title verse. The relativists are incapable of seeing the truth because they neither stand in (or on) the truth nor is there any truth in them. To paraphrase an old saying, “They wouldn’t know the truth if it walked up and bit them.”  What was it the serpent said to Eve?
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” - Genesis 3:1.
    The relativists have anchored themselves fast to the father of lies, and upon hearing the nonsense and drivel which foams out of their mouths, any thinking man or woman should be able to detect the sheer lunacy of such an untenable position. I could certainly destroy the myth of no absolute truth simply by pushing the relativist off a tall building. An abrupt stop at the end of a long fall will be the certain outcome, and that is the absolute truth. But speaking the truth is the Christian’s way of ending the dispute. “And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.” - 2 Timothy 2:24-26
    When one insists that there is no truth, they communicate that falsehood with nonsense. And falsehood is a tool of the devil. However, there is indeed absolute truth. We have heard from the mouth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ - “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” - John 14:6.
    Finally, we must come to the conclusion that, in nearly every case, the belief in no absolute truth is not so much a deeply held belief as it is a cheap political position. It is part of an agenda most specific to those who choose disbelief. The truth limits them and confines their methodology so they may keep their anarchist passions alive. They must deny what they know to be the truth so they can rise up indignantly and cry out, “No God - no master!” We shall see.
     But the truth really can set us free. And all we have to do is believe. “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.” - Psalm 145:18.
