Truth is not a lie

Truth is relative. That is an erroneous statement. The relativity of truth may appear intellectually stimulating for discourse, but it is most dangerous, leading people away from Christ Jesus, Yeshua Messiah. Believing that truth is relative can affect understanding of the spiritual realm or negating a spiritual realm entirely.

The concept of truth being relative; that something can be truth for one individual but may not be for another is a lie.
