Truth?

Found this post through some blog surfing this morning, and I appreciate the contrast posted on "propositional truth" versus "relational truth". I think people are just more open to truth in community, truth lived out, truth that's meaningful - more than taking a stand on "objective" or "absolute" truth.

Borrowing and re-posting his table here:

DOCTRINE     PROPOSITIONAL        RELATIONAL
Sin          Breaking a rule      Betraying a relationship
Repentance   Admitting guilt      Sorrowing over personal
                                   betrayal
Forgiveness  Canceling a penalty  Renewing fellowship
Faith        Believing a set      Committing one's self to
               of propositions      a person
Christian    Obeying rules        Pleasing the Lord,
 life                               a person
