Moral Relativism Has Invaded The Church
 
I heard a UPC minister say just this week that we can not know truth. He believes that there are only perceptions of truth. His point was that we should value organizational unity over our own personal beliefs on any one issue and that we should value everyone's beliefs regardless of the rightness or wrongness of them.

After all, it's all relative anyway.

I am against moral relativism, but why do I get the feeling this UPC minister is being misrepresented. I hope I am wrong.

Sure we can know truth ,because when one walks with Jesus Christ ,He reveals truth to His disciples.His Holy Spirit leads one into truth.

If we can't know truth, we can't know God........
