Fortunately for us all, truth depends not one whit on its recipient's ability or willingness to believe in it.

Truth by definition is absolute.
Today, where i live, at 1:00pm it was sunny and not raining. No matter what public opinion says, or what the weatherman says, the absolute truth is that today where i live at 1pm it was not raining. Even if the entire population of the planet claimed it rained, the absolute truth would not change.
There is a truth to the question "Does God exist?". This truth is separate from anyone's beliefs. God either does or does not exist. No matter how much people believe in God, their belief has no effect on God's existence. That is why they call it faith.
Humanity's collective knowledge does not contain all the answers to the universe's mysteries. Even things that we think are absolutely 100% truths, might not be. But what ever the topic there is an absolute truth to be pursued. we can never be certain we have attained it. We only have the best and most logical truths/answers for right now.

They are both one and the same. Truth is absolut and thus it is absolut truth. People like to play mind games and try to confuse each other, but the truth does speak for itself eventhough those with ulterior motives refuse to accept it. For example: the existance of God and the fact that mankind has always tryed to seek him out is absolut truth and this truth is absolute eventhough some may call themselves atheist. Those folks are actually worshipping their own intelligence or self reliance since they deny the obvious truth the God exists and that their life on this earth will come to and end and then they will face (who?) God.
Mr. M on truth.

If something is to emphasised or expressed as absolute and immaculate truth - then the term "Gospel Truth" is used.
This, in other words bear testimony that the "4 Gospels of the Bible" are ABSOLUTE TRUTHS.
That is why statements that "This is the gospel truth" is used globally.

I feel that their is a logical answer for everything that exist, but those answers are reserved for those who are ready to handle it. Once you become a truthseeker and in your heart of hearts your trueself knows that you are ready for the absolute truth you will be tested to see if you can handle it in steps, how much of the truth depends on each individual. For most I have learned that truth is to big to swallow, but it is available. If interested in what I have uncovered let me know, I love to share info.

Truth is subjective and it differs from person to person. Two people may see the same exact thing and have two different truths as to what they had seen. Who's truth is right? I don't know.

Facts are truth, opinions are not. Bush is President- Fact Bush is a Good President- an unpopular opinion that i feel to be the truth.

Truth can be perceived different from different people. But there is no denying a chronic liar who never tells the truth.

Yes, there is a difference between truth and facts. Truth(no guessing)_ is we exist, fact(has to proven) is the sky is blue. Make sense?
