Truth

[LoyalBrotha831]

What is objective truth and what is subjective truth?

 

[Acts2:38]

What is objective truth and what is subjective truth?

Objective Truth - When all conditions for that truth are met, without bias (feelings, etc)

Subjective Truth - Based off of your feelings, opinions, etc.

Objective Truth Example: Iron ore smelted and added with about 1 % carbon makes steel.

Subjective Truth Example: "I believe everyone needs to have a truck. They are built tougher to withstand impacts from other drivers should it happen."

It is a fact that iron with carbon makes steel. However, it is merely an opinion that a truck is built more sturdy in withstanding impacts in case of accidents. I doubt a B3000 Mazda truck would fair any better than a Toyota Avalon.

Subjective truth = that something is true for the person/s making the judgement, even though it may not be true for others.

Objective truth = that the statement is true for all time, all cultures, even if they do not know it or recognize it to be trusted.

[Hekuran]

Subjective truth is dependent on the experience of the subject. It covers matters of taste. The phrase that sums it up most neatly is 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

For example, to me my daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world. I know this is not objectively true, but that doesn't stop me believing it.

The word truth means, "reality" which can only be found in a place that never changes. This world is real, but it is not reality as it is constantly changing.
The words of God found in scripture is not Jesus as there is only one Jesus. The words in scripture subjectively point to the one who is truth (object). As Jesus once said.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Jesus is the reality (truth) of the God kind of life that the scriptures testify of, and point to.
