Below is an interesting discussion between two great philosophers, Socrates and Protagoras.
IS TRUTH RELATIVE?(A dialogue between Socrates and Protagoras)
Protagoras: Truth is relative. It is only a matter of opinion.
Socrates: You mean that truth is mere subjective opinion?
Protagoras: Exactly. What is true for you is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Truth is subjective.
Socrates: Do you really mean that? That my opinion is true by virtue of its being my opinion?
Protagoras: Indeed I do.
Socrates: My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you, Mr. Protagoras, are absolutely in error. Since this is my opinion, then you must grant that it is true according to your philosophy.
Protagoras: You are quite correct, Socrates.

The real truth is this, ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Relative truth (or the truth that the non-believers have) is not truth, they don't have truth until they accept Jesus Christ! The giver of Absolute truth, because Jesus is that true truth!
Here's some food for thought.When you say, "Truth is not absolute; it is relative," is that an absolute statement?Please think about that. If you do, you will have the answer to your question.
Truth is not gradeable, there are not degrees of truth. However, for emphasis, the ultimate truth is absolute truth.
One example of an absolute statement in philosophy is "There is no absolute truth." This statement makes a universal claim about the nature of truth itself, suggesting that no truths are universally valid or objective.
The concept of truth can be viewed as both absolute and relative. Some believe that truth is objective and unchanging, while others argue that truth can be influenced by perspective and context. Ultimately, the understanding of truth may vary depending on individual beliefs and interpretations.
The question of whether truth is relative or absolute is a complex philosophical debate. Some argue that truth is relative, meaning it can vary depending on perspective or context. Others believe in absolute truth, which is unchanging and independent of individual beliefs. Ultimately, the answer to this question may depend on one's philosophical beliefs and perspective.
The comment or assertion 'all truth is relative' is self-defeating in several ways which are similar although stated a little differently. If truth is relative then the statement that truth is relative cannot itself be absolute and therefore true objectively. Also, as correctly suggested in the question 'truth is relative' is itself a self-contradictory absolute statement which cannot be true if truth is indeed relative.
NO!
The appreciation and want of the knowledge of the absolute.
True.
