How do Absolute value of a number and it's opposite compare?
The absolute value of a number is always positive or zero, while its opposite is always negative or zero. The relationship between the absolute value of a number and its opposite is that they have the same numerical value but opposite signs. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the opposite of 5 is -5.
What is the counterexamples of the opposite of any number is always positive?

What is the opposite of negative 14?
For any number A, the opposite of A is -A. In this case we have -A to start with.The opposite of -A is -(-A). The product of two negatives is always a positive so -(-A)=A.Using this model, the opposite of 14 is -14. Furthermore, the opposite of -14 is 14.We use this concept when we solve equations. We can add the opposite of a number to both sides.

False. Apart from the fact that there is no such thing as an opposite. If, by opposite, you mean negative (additive inverse), then start with a negative number. The negative of this will be positive, and so greater. If by opposite you mean the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse), start with a positive number less than one or a negative number less than -1.
Will the opposite of a positive number always sometimes or never be positive number?
Opposite of positive number will always be a negative number. The total of the two has to be zero as per the definition. So the zero does not have the opposite number.
Will the opposite of a number always sometimes or never be a positive number?
The opposite of a number depends on what the relevant operation is. For addition or multiplication - the two common operators - the answer to the question depends on what the first number is.
