The idea of more than one truth doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps there is more than one perception of truth. As a theist I can understand your position of God having the truth, and all others who differ having various perceptions of truth.

I don't see it as a claim that each of us have a separate truth, I see it as advise to be careful of those who claim to have all the answers, not those who admit they don't but do their best to find them.Nessa wrote:What I see when I read that saying is that the truth is in each of us.
History is full of men who claimed to have had all the answers, and were unwilling to admit when proven wrong.Nessa wrote:So if I say I have found the truth then really its only finding my own truth. So if I say to someone 'Hey! I got the truth' then they should not trust.

Our seperate truths may line up with several other truths that other people have.
We either have our own 'truth' or God's truth. Thats what I believe anyway.
