Introduction
Greetings...
Postmodernism stands on five pillars which are...
Relativism - Truth is relative and not concrete.
Pluralism - The acceptance of everyone with no regard for exclusivity.
Tolerance - Tolerating only values that deemed worth of tolerance.
Secularism - The rejection of all forms of religion and worship for secular ideas and desires.
Pragmatism - The more something is accepted the more truthful it is.
Relativism - That truth is relative and not concrete because it is based on pragmatism.
Why would I bring up postmodernism in a lesson from ?
Because postmodernism has infect the church so much that God’s Word has become victimize by it.
Within these two chapters we find the answer to postmodernism and hopefully a clearer picture of why this philosophy is so dangerous to us, the church.
With that in mind let’s look at our lesson today.
Truth Is Vital To Everything
Relativism explained.
Relativism says, “there is no such thing as absolute truth, what is true for you isn’t necessarily true for me.”
I’ve always been amazed at the ways in which humanity have striven to promote this this idea but only as far as it fits their narrative.
Take America right now and the great divide we have between conservative politics and liberal politics.
Both groups demand they are right while neither “in the political realm” strive to prove they are right by basing their ideas in facts.
All you hear is “your wrong and I’m right.”
If relativism only stayed in the world there would be no need to discuss it but the truth is it has infiltrated the church and...
Relativism is “killing the church.”
The catch phrase “truth is relative” has been around for a while but it is only in the last 40 to 50 years or so that it has really had an impact on the church.
While teaching a college class one time I had an elder make a remark and the class agree with him.
He said, “you can’t know if the Bible is true or God is real, we just have to take these things on faith.”
How many of you or those you know in the church have said statements like...
“You have your interpretation and I have mine” or “we can agree to disagree.”
Brothers and sisters all those statements are based on “truth is relative.”
Truth is not subjective it’s objective.
No one really believes that “truth is relative.”
Let’s say someone, who says they believe this, goes and buys a six dollar cup of coffee and hands the cashier a ten dollar bill.
The cashier then hands them back just one dollar.
The custom complains and the cashier says that one dollar is equivalent to four dollars “truth is relative.”
Jesus did not subscribe to the idea that “truth is relative” when He explained to the Jews “who had believed him”...
