What is Truth?

Is truth absolute or is it relative? Is it intrinsically relational? If it is absolute, then not only can it point out our wrongs and correct us, but it can also bring healing and restoration. If, as atheists believe, truth is determined by observation and scientific analysis only, then it is open to revision and may change based on new discoveries. Christians believe that absolute truth exists and is based on revelation from God who, as creator and sustainer of the universe is the highest authority. This view makes sense because human beings have both a mind and a heart. Truth viewed only as a set of facts catering to our intellect cannot address our emotional or relational needs. [1]

It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.”?  According to the Bible, God does bind the galaxy together through His Son Jesus Christ, see: Colossians 1:17 “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
