I have found a strange dialogue online and one point from it rather bugs me
"The definition of "objective" that I'm familiar with is that a CONSIDERATION of a truth claim is "not influenced by personal feelings or opinions." You are confusing the consideration of a truth claim (subjective) with the truth itself (objective). Thus, while you may argue that all Christian truth claims are influenced by God's personal opinions, truth itself is not an opinion. God's truth is not subjective, because His "representation" or "consideration" of the facts aren't swayed by His personal opinions. His opinions ARE facts. In other words, God doesn't consider truth (subjective), He establishes truth (objective). Otherwise, there could be no objective facts (and that is a self-contradiction). When God decides that a ball falls to earth at 9.8 m/s2, His decision is not a mere opinion that can be overturned by the idealist who may disapprove.
