Interpretation.
It all comes down to interpretation. It's funny that there are a number of words that many people say quite frequently, but rarely stop to think what, exactly they mean by them, words like 'love', 'truth', 'good', 'evil', 'God.
I would hazard a guess that most people think that they have a reasonable handle on what they mean when they say 'truth', but few do when they say 'God', even less when they say 'love'.
To me, a seeker 'God' is looking for someone 'greater', someone who is behind it all, someone who could make it all make sense. Yes, and frequently someone who we could bow down to, 'worship' even. Rarely do people realise that hand in hand with this concept one would have to put responsibility, blame. Such an entity would, indeed, be responsible for everything.
A seeker after truth has some chance of answering their questions, eventually, without arriving at the conclusion that some exterior 'force' or 'being' were to be responsible for all that has happended here. It is necessary to be aware of the critical discriminator, we live in a relative 'Universe', all truth here is subject to temporal fluctuation, what is 'true' now, in this moment, has no guarantee of remaining 'true' in the next. Should some superceding new 'truth' appear then the existing 'truth' falls.
I do believe that 'out there' beyond this realm of the physical there does exist a cosmic state of absolute 'Truth', and that it is our right to aspire to that state.
The Rishis called the two different forms of 'truth' Vidya, absolute 'Cosmic Truth', and Arvidya, relative, transient truth.
I do believe that when one has found 'Vidya' then one can understand that which we have called 'God' over countless millenia.
It isn't a question of 'greatness', you humans, always obsessed with size ! ;-)

The answers you have inspired are excellent!
I believe that the seeker of Truth and/or God, is also seeking Love.
To fully receive and express Love....is the realization of both Truth and God.

A seeker of truth is always greater, because truth resembles the God, though God is in each of us but can't be known unless one is true.

NON. both are like blind men searching for a black CAT in a DARK room which may not be there.All truths are relative,there being no ABSOLUTE TRUTH and man invented GOD for the reasons best known to HIM,Your question is hypothetical and in this domain,one can say anything and still get away.spiritualism is an escape route used by people for millions of years and also effectively.

Truth is God. All things which we see and experience in life are false. Therefore a seeker of Truth is seeker of God.
"Ekam Satyam Vipra Bhahutha Vadanthi". Truth is one and sages call it by various names. That is what Indian spiritualism says.
This fact will be understood only when one realises Truth(God).

May God bless u
God is the TRUTH
This what the Holy Quran say's
That is because Allâh, He is the Truth, and that which they invoke besides Him is AlBâtil (falsehood, Satan and all other false deities), and that Allâh, He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Luqman 31:30)
On that Day God will pay them the recompense of their deeds in full, and they will know that Allâh, He is the Manifest Truth. (An-Nur 24:25)
That is because God He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Bâtil (falsehood) And verily, Allâh He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Al-Hajj 22:62)
''O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh, some formed and some unformed (miscarriage), that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will). And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth). (Al-Hajj 22:5)
That is because God , He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things.
(Al-Hajj 22:6) .
Just try one time to read about Islam.

I have never been led astray when following God's word or His Holy Spirit. I believe that these are equal, because one will always lead to the other. The only other question is will the "seeker" keep seeking if he/she should find something they didn't expect to find along the way....

The seeker of truth of course! Who wouldn't want to search for the truth? The "seekers of god" are just people trying to make themselves believe in something they'd quite like to be true, but can't quite convince themselves yet.

i might would desire to confess that i like interest myself, that could look obtrusive from my profile description. i think of there is something alluring approximately being observed for what I SAY relatively than what i'm. i'm a very regular finding person and have had a number of the flaws i've got mentioned thoroughly handed over for how i glance or behave. What I SAY is many times very unexpected, which i think of I rejoice with (being unexpected). i like to work out what different like-minded people would desire to declare approximately issues i'm opinionated approximately. i like being incorrect (in certainty). i like changing how I see the international and can provide somebody the attention they deserve, yet many times no longer.
