Some time ago I had a conversation with an historian about
whether there is such a thing as eternal truth. I said yes, and he said no. I
think our disciplines influenced our answers. Historians focus on the changing
circumstances of life and philosophers think about the fixed verities of
existence. The former consider what has taken place in time and the latter
reflect on what has existed forever. Since we are both Christians, we each have
reason to affirm temporal and eternal
truths. It is eternally true that God exists; it is temporally the case that
God became human.
