An absolute truth doesn't need to be known or unknown to be absolute, it just is.
I'll also posit to you that you can arrive at an absolute truth: you are or are not omniscient.
You (personally) can & do know that absolutely.
So if I say that I have experienced God first hand, that is then a statement of absolute truth.
Not if you say it.
Only if it is actually true.
This isnt a matter of professing x is true thus x.
Its a matter of saying that every mind knows for an absolute fact whether or not it is omniscient, by the very definition of the word omniscient. And each person knowing that for THEMself is an absolute truth, not a mere assertion.
Then "absolute truth" is a meaningless term. It only applies to conditions meeting your approval.
