Will somebody Please give Me the definition of Truth ?

Question

The truth that sets us free is what? What do we need to know, that sets us free?

Answer 1

JESUS:' [He] is the way, the TRUTH and the light'

Answer 2

This answer is not an answer that can be sumarized in a couple of words. Yes there are things that people need to know that will set them free. So if you truly want to know the truth that sets you free, then you need to learn the truth and you can do that by asking Jehovah's Witnesses when they come to your door because this truth is what they are trying to tell you about. Bible Truth is very important that is why Jesus said that we need to take in knowledge(John17:3)

Answer 3

Truth is an irrefutable fact.
It is not something that changes depending on how one feels about it.
It IS.

The only truth that can set us free, is the fact that the value of Christ Jesus' human life, sacrificed in our behalf, is payment in full for our sinful nature. That we can avail ourselves of its benefit by learning all about God's provision, and the hope he holds out to those who take the time to get to thoroughly know him, and apply his requirements in their lives.

Also, the truth includes the knowledge of which beliefs are false, so that we are protected from doing things that are harmful, & believing things that are frightening, & completely out of line with God's very character. Such things only get in the way of one's relationship with God. But knowing the truth about false ideas sets those --who have been taught them in the past-- free from enslavement to all such erroneous ideas.

Answer 5

One understanding of the divine believed attainable is through revelation, not the wisdom of man. Were wisdom of man be able to unravel the Divine, it proves God never was.

Another way of understanding something that is pan- or multi-dimensional, would be akin to looking at the continually shifting facets of a diamond. Imagine a rubics cube in perpetual motion.

As the diamond faces transforms, various sides of facts and truths are revealed. In that singularity of time, fact is made truth for the persons viewing that aspect, let alone all the other aspects of the diamond.

In time, this audience ceases to be ( dies ) and the truth remains unquestioned. With the emergence of a new audience, they look at the same object. Low and behold, they do not see the movement of the facets of the diamond. What they do see is different facets of the same diamond in the same way that no one person looks at a piece of art the same way.

Dutifully, our learned audience performs vigorous testing of all means available on the static facet. Finding fact beyond doubt, they promptly claim that to be truth. They swiftly denounce the past fact taken for truth so that no contradictions would go against the new theory. Everything fits.

As the diamond is multifaceted, it provides many facts from which a higher truth is revealed. To compound this problem, let us add another dimension to understanding.

Our audience, say, are ants. Ants see only one or a few aspects of this diamond. Given their life span, they will never see the whole. Their comprehension can be only as good as afforded by the decay of memory over time. This is the scale with which man does not know a lot of things.

Being ants, they see the movement of the facets under various reflections of light as different yielding differing facts once more. The ability to reconcile the static facet of a diamond to the movement creates a further component.

The changing light are the multicultural and multiracial society the world has, each creating their own interpretation. New terms are created to describe this new phenomena, yet all the while this diamond is the same as always.

So many truths, yet only one can be right. The reverse would be to say that all the truths are indeed correct. However, no one is able to link up all these truths.

The definition of God or The Truth as ultimate truth has evolved over centuries. Philosophers, after a fashion, were unable to reconcile ultimate truth, let alone settle on the definition of truth. One truth meant immediate demise of another truth. The all encompassing truth alone could not be contained, defined successfully, if ever.

To move on from the impasse in philosophical discourse, the definition of an ultimate universal truth was stretched to encompass a larger basket of truths.

There are various versions of what truth is defined as. A contemporary common acceptance is of a truth that is valid until another truth comes along, dispelling the old truth as being a lie.

A small problem lies here that several elements have been forgotten. The effect of time, being the easiest to illustrated, poses its own problems, let alone other forms of programming, such as cultural beliefs, contemporary beliefs of the day and so on.

One needs a very long and wide binoculars to encompass a larger meaning.

One moment there, has science not proven absolutes in values like zero and the seemingly definitive outcomes of medical treatment ?

All sciences involve a degree of inaccuracy within a larger subset of values with its own inaccuracy. Like the nesting Russian Matryoshka dolls, present systems are built upon and within each other. Accuracy, inaccuracy and fallacy is compounded exponentially, Logos extricably tied in a complex web of its own.

Generations born from around nineteen fifty, there was no such thing as television, internet, medical cures and vaccines. Infant death was common, not an exception. Everything was trial and error. A degree of inaccuracy was calculated to the action taken.

In the same way man is able to accept a lot of assumptions, make a lot of presumptions, before a decision is taken today, the more interesting question might be why and how much more should we demand of accuracy in things taken of faith and luck.

Where we often accord a generous room for error to mundane practicalities of life, much is taken for granted that a car with oil and driver will likely move, yet we do not question it everyday.

Just as the sun rises from the east, it is taken as is, until such time an eclipse occurs, from which we have hindsight, not foresight, of theories to tell us so. Only years later when the moon launch was ready, was man able to confirm that the earth is round and of orbital moons like the sun. Has man since Galileo, not taken it on faith ?

This only goes to show that human understanding has much to learn, evolve, transform, create schisms, disassociations, be fragmented, that one day all elements be recombined to establish what Truth is, let alone a God and other unexplained paranormal.

So before answering the question that presumes of truth to set me free, tell me, what is truth ?
