Can we know the truth?

Well there are certain things that are absolutely true. For example, I do not suggest you jump of an overpass anytime soon. I guarantee that you will not like the results, because gravity is something absolutely know to be true.

However, some things are a little more sketchy, such as can the speed of light be surpassed (Warp drive or something like that), is String Theory true, or how big is the Universe. These questions may or may not ever have a satisfactory answer.

Then there are the existential questions, such as why am I here, why is there evil in the word, and does God exists. These are the most important questions that we can ask.

So, in the end, I do not believe any of us can figure out everything about how the Universe works, our brains are just to darn puny to completely understand such a vast and complex Universe completely.

Thankfully, I believe it is possible to find answers to the existential question through faith in God.

Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Depends on your definition of truth

I thought Truth was relative.

Yes.

God is ultimate, absolute Truth; and He is able to communicate Himself to whomever He pleases; and conceal Himself from whomever He pleases. He has been pleased to reveal Himself to those who believe the "foolishness" of the Gospel.

"For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

I Corinthians 1;21-25 ESV

God revealed Himself to this man......

I know!

I see no reason for you not to, unless of course you choose not to.

We will all come to know the Truth!

...The Book of John...chapter 8 vs. 32.

Can we? Yes. Will we? Not every truth.

Absolutely? No. Epistimelogically it's impossible.

If you assume reality as is observed is true, then yes.

If you don't, then probably not.
