My question is simple, really. Can one who is both of sound mind and body simply create and/or manifest Absolute Truth beyond their physical and mental limitations?
My personal belief within Christianity hasn't a need for others to agree in order to be anymore valid or real namely due to the limitation that either religious faith inherently has to deal with on a day to day basis. Of course, I am not a Relativist and I recognize how much personal freedom we're allowed in order to determine our particular belief structure.
However, I cannot for fear of violation of my conscience, state that individual belief dictates there hereafter besides personal preference and/or bias.
Any thoughts?

If Truth is considered Truth, by definition, it would remain Truth even if people chose to believe otherwise; which implies that belief is not dependent on one's decision to adhere in order to make the belief valid or Truth.

If you are asking what I think you are asking, fenrir:
Belief, of anyone, is clearly a preference of themselves. The Absolute truth, you speak of, cannot exist, correct? There can be no absolute truth to anything, as there is always a false.
A belief is not always dependent on a decision, it is what one thinks is accurately true. The idea, of belief may be accurate to one, but not to another.

A belief is not always dependent on a decision, it is what one thinks is accurately true. The idea, of belief may be accurate to one, but not to another. On the contrary, Absolute Truth does, in fact, exist if we recognize both the inevitability of death and our ignorance of the afterlife besides those who have gone before us. I argue that Absolute Truth is not dependent of followers in order to make the belief plausible or Truth, itself.
One simply holding a preference is a reflection of their personal understanding or belief, but it does not dictate what will inevitably come to light besides what has already been beforehand. Granted, in order for a belief to make sense, you must understand specifically what the individual belief dictates as Truth; but again, it does not dictate what will happen otherwise if it is not True. Personal conviction or belief is a reflection of their faith, which is required in order to fully analyze a metaphysical deity or reality beyond our Natural World. However, I will once again argue that a belief, itself, is considered Truth for an individual level if, by definition, beliefs naturally disagree or contradict one another instead of being purposefully synonymous.
