Absolutes

In the real world the word "absolutes" will usually generate quite a reaction. For if there is one thing modern man hates--as well as fears--it's the existence of absolutes. When you hear expressions like, "Well, in my opinion . . ." or "But if God is love, how can He . . ." Or "You don't really believe the Bible is the Word of God, do you?"--then the chances are someone has been backed into a corner by an absolute truth and is trying to rationalize his way out of his accountability to that truth. God's absolute truth infringes on man's desire to believe and to do as he pleases--to be his own god; consequently, man resents it. Whether a man resents God's truth or not, God's absolutes are still absolutely true--and the consequences of not believing them are inescapable. Now. And eternally.
