Christian Worldview Practice Test

Which of the following is a temporal truth?

Transcendent Synthetic Contingent Subjective

Correct Answer:

Contingent

Explanation:

Temporal truth means a statement whose truth value depends on the time or circumstances; it can be true now and false later because the world has changed. A contingent truth fits this because it is true given the actual state of affairs but could be false under different conditions or at a different time. Transcendent truths aren’t tied to time, so they stay true regardless of when you consider them. Synthetic refers to the nature of the proposition (empirical vs. logical) rather than time, and subjective truths depend on a thinker’s perspective, not on temporal conditions. So a contingent statement is the one that embodies temporal truth.
