Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Increasingly, through postmodern philosophies, the concept of truth has been relativized. The argument is that, since today's world is plural in terms of religion, politics, culture, and philosophical thought, an objective view of things is no longer feasible. For these people, the best view is that each person possesses their own truth. Only this type of view, according to them, can prevent conflicts and wars throughout the world, since an objective view of things leads to fanaticism and conflict.

A question that can be asked is: "Is this thought true for everyone or only for them?" We see that this type of thinking is self-contradictory. Truth is objective in many situations. Either the individual committed the crime or they did not, the person was betrayed or they were not, the subject passed the test or they did not, Flamengo won or they did not win, etc. However, in fact, certain elements are relatives. These are relative because they are inherently subjective, like aesthetics and personal tastes. One person may like pizza, and another may not like it at all.

And recognizing the objectivity of reality does not imply radicalism, but rather recognizing that reality, in most situations, is not shaped by our interests. Jesus was not a relativist, but said that he himself was the truth (John 14:6). However, Jesus never preached unjust conflict. He always taught respect for others, even when they are wrong. It is possible to believe that one is right and still recognize the other's right to be wrong.
