What is The absolute value of three x minus one equals the absolute value of x plus five?
First, simplify the equation: absolute (3x-1) = absolute (x+5) absolute (2x) = absolute (6) absolute (x) = absolute (3) which really means plus or minus 3, or, (+/-3) Now you have x = +/- 3, so test out x = 3 and x = -3. Test out x = 3: absolute (3*3-1) = absolute (3+5) absolute (9-1) = absolute (8) ---> absolute 8 = absolute 8 --> 8=8 which is correct! Now test x = -3 absolute (3*(-3)-1) = absolute (-3+5) ---> absolute (-9-1) = absolute (2) absolute (-10) = absolute 2 ---> 10 = 2 Since 10 does not equal 2, this is not a correct answer. Therefore x = 3.

How does relativism affect how people think about truths relating to the Christian faith and the Bible?
The philosophy of relativism denies the existence of absolute truth. Everything becomes an opinion and all opinions are equal and all roads lead to God. Whenever this man-made idea creeps into Christian thinking it destroys the whole basis for faith - that God has spoken finally and decisively and clearly and indeed absolutely. Certainly there is always room for disagreement on some things, but the Bible speaks quite definitively on many things. Yet according to relativism everything is 'up for grabs' and 'that's just your opinion.' In effect, the view of relativism is self-defeating as it effectively denies the truth it promulgates, that there is no such thing as absolute truth. Yet in doing so it attacks the Christians who would hold that when Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life.' in John 14:6 He meant it absolutely. Thus the truth of absolute relativism is set up, a very truth denied by the theory of relativism.

Relativism is the belief that "Everyone has their own version of the truth". Simply put that everyone has their own thoughts on what they think right.

Moral relativism, the belief that all beliefs are just as good as any other belief, is also logically invalid.
