Balancing Truth and Tolerance -- A Talk by Elder Dalin H. Oaks

"The existence and nature of truth is one of the fundamental questions of mortal life. Jesus told the Roman governor Pilate that He came into the world to 'bear witness unto the truth.' That unbeliever responded, 'What is truth?' (John 18:37–38). Earlier the Savior had declared, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life' (John 14:6). In modern revelation, He declared, 'Truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come' (D&C 93:24).

"We believe in absolute truth, including the existence of God and the right and wrong established by His commandments. We know that the existence of God and the existence of absolute truth are fundamental to life on this earth, whether they are believed in or not. We also know that evil exists and that some things are simply, seriously, and everlastingly wrong."
