steven,

scarry- but i understand :)

you wrote:  "We can know Absolute Truth (God) because
He has revealed Himself to us  by His Creation, His
Word and His Son.  But we can not know Absolute  Truth
(God) absolutely (i.e. fully).  We are finite and He
is infinite."

RE:  I donot believe God has revealed all he is via,
scripture, creation and jesus - i believe God is so
much more - we can never truly grasp allthat God is :)
 so, given that, can we actually ever truly "know him"
- or just parts of him?  

you wrote:  "There is a difference then when we speak
of Absolute Truth (God) and  knowing or believing that
there are absolute truths or absolutes as we  like to
call them (note the lower case)."

RE:  very cool - lower case and all :)

you wrote:  "God has revealed to us (in Creation and
His Word) truths that we can know absolutely (i.e.
fully)"

RE:  can we?  what truths do we know absolutely?  if
that were the case we would allbe on the same page :) 
there would be no disagreements on those "absolutes" -
given that that would be the nature of an absolute :)

you wrote:  "but these truths are not God although
they do reveal God because He is Truth."

RE:  they reveal a part of God - but not all of God :)
