Relative sense and absolute sense in Bible
Please post your valuable comments Home The Bible is written in a dual sense: i.e. (1) Absolute sense and (2) Relative sense. Absolute sense is the sense of the spirit. i.e. when it is mentioned light, it means perfect light and when it is mentioned good, it means perfectly good. The relative sense is the sense of the human beings. In relative sense, when it is mentioned light, it just means that it is more lit than any other area of less light. i.e. in comparison with another area of less light, or with a fixed standard, it is light. e.g. when compared with bright sunlight, the moonlight is dark. The same moonlight is bright in comparison with a dark night. i.e. the brightness of the moon is dark in comparison with sunlight and it is bright in comparison with the dark night. Similar is the case of mentioning of good, hot, cold etc. Human knowledge fell from the absolute sense to the relative sense when man ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
