If you want to know the Truth, one must go to the Truth-brary.
If one wants to know a lie, one must go to the lie-brary.
If one wants to know the Truth, then one must ask God for "Wisdom"!

I reject all metaphysical ideas of truth.
Something can be considered objectively true if it can be analysed and found to be self-defining such as a logical or mathematical tautolgy. These are truths beyond doubt.
Below this there are statements and theories that can be empirically falsified and for the time being are the "least wrong" answer. Scientific knowledge would fall within this bracket.
Finally, sometimes it is necessary to adopt a practical, common sense approach where something cannot be analysed or measured - maths, for instance, relies on everyone agreeing upon the labels for the integers 0-9 for all the logical extrapolation that follows. This approach would need be tempered by "Okham's razor", the premise that we should not postulate more than necessary. This is a reason to reject metaphysics.

"True facts" are self equatious.
( 1 = 1 )
A test of the truth is the fact that it has no holes in it.
That it is the same from all angles and is not shaken by the full light of observation.
Truth equates to true reality in all dimensions.
Truth is self affirming and stands the test of time and transport to other times and dimensions.
Ultimately GOD is the measure of the truth being PERFECT, HOLY, RIGHTEOUS AND TRUE.
JESUS IS GOD
Trinity, unity, eternity, infinity, divinity, righteous, TRUE, honorable, perfect, holy, loving, kind, generous,good.
God so loved the world that HE gave HIMSELF >>> JESUS

The truth is elusive.
I have believes, I truly believe some of my believes are false believes, but I do not know which ones are false, Therefore I do not know which ones are true.
A lot of what I believe has been taken on trust, at school teachers told me what they believed, I accepted it, many of these things haven't been proved beyond reasonable doubt by, or to me
I believe the Earth is almost spherical. but I have no means of proving it to myself.
I believe most things accepted as truth by most people, but I do not take them as absolute truth.

The truth is what is true to me. A simple answer but in reality its very complex.

My God, the one and only High God. He is not only my measure for truth, but for every small detail in my life. (That does not mean that I am perfect and never make mistakes, but I am following the Almighty to the best of my ability.) God Bless.

First, last and always, the Bible. AFTER that, then you have the witness of my own eyes, the wisdom of man, science, common sense, logic, whatever, in no particular order. BUT, if it doesn't fit with Biblical truth, I don't even try to make it true, though I will try to glean truth from it.

It must be willing to stand up to the test of being taken with a pinch of salt.
