The implications of this are enormous. The claim to have the truth about a person s relationship with God is considered arrogant or elitist. These are problems which relativism produces in dealing with others. If truth isn t fixed, maybe I should just drop all this Christian business when it becomes inconvenient. But the objection voiced is that Christianity is true for some people, but not for others.
Truth is that which is real or statements about what is really the case.
The Christian should question the person about this. If so, then he s actually undercutting his own claims. On a deeper level we can point out that if there s no objective, fixed truth, all meaningful conversation will grind to a halt. Trying to communicate ideas when truth and meaning fluctuate like the stock market is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall. There s no way to get hold of any idea with which to agree or disagree.
