Tell me what you believe is truth? How do you obtain truth? What does it really mean? How is truth perceived? Does that change from person to person?
Fly with it....

Are we born with truth or do we have to seek it in order to obtain it?

God's Word plainly tells us that man's destiny is to become the children of God, divine members of His immortal spirit family. This truth goes to the very heart of the true gospel of the Kingdom of God........http://www.ucg.org/booklets/GK/

Truth is something that exists regardless of what people think. Truth doesn't change just so people can fit their ideas in a neat little package. I obtained my truth through the power of the Holy Spirit. What does that mean? When I gave my life to Christ, I felt everything inside me being transformed and the peace of God come over me. This is perceived by some to be rubbish and others as truth. But that doesn't change what it is based on our ideas. Personally, I know this is truth absolutely and wholeheartedly by my experience.

What is truth?
Depending upon who you ask today, the question "What is Truth" will get you very different answers and, perhaps, lead to even more questions. Here are some current thoughts on truth:
There is No Absolute Truth.
But wait a minute! This statement is making an absolute claim to truth. It defeats its own claim.
Truth is Relative.
Does that include the statement that truth is relative? It would have to, making this statement invalid since no claim to truth can be made by this statement, including the claim that truth is relative.
You have Your Truth and I have My Truth.
And if your truth and my truth are in conflict, what do we have? Can there be conflicting truths? If so, then how do you determine what is valid? If my truth is that there is no God, and your truth is that there is a God, does that really effect whether there is a God or not? Saying that we each have our own truth may make us comfortable but we would have to not care about truth to say this, because no matter what my experience or your experience tells us, the truth exists as it is.
Truth is within You.
Seek truth within yourself and you are back to what your experience tells you or to what you want to be the truth. Your perception may affect you and be true to what you want to believe, but it does not affect what the truth really is. Your experience and belief could be telling you that something false is true.
So what is Truth?
If you're tired of wondering or of playing these mind games, consider that maybe truth is not all that complex. Maybe it is something a child can grasp. Maybe truth is a person. The God-Man Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
Will you be like Pilate, who asked "What is truth?" (John 18:38) right after Jesus said to him, "And I came to bring truth to the world. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true," (John 18:37b)?
Or will you be like the Roman officer who saw Jesus die on the cross and said, "Truly, this was the Son of God!" (Mark 15:39)
As Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, " (John 11:25) and "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture," (John 10:9).

A "Small Seed" has been planted within the heart of man!
------------------------
The "Truth" is free, it's lies that cost man!
"Truth" can be found in the Truth-brary.
Lies can be found in the Lie-brary.
The "Truth" contains no darkness.
If man wishes to know the "Truth", then man must discard all the darkness from within the "Inner Heart".
The "Truth" is within the "Inner heart" of all human beings.
This "Truth" needs to be cared for much like the plants within a garden. Watering, fertilizing, proper soil, and a great deal of light are necessary for the growth of "Truth".
Good Gardener's and Good Gardens produce Good fruits.
Bad gardeners and bad gardens produce toxic fruits.
All gardens vary according to the care given them!
All of the various religions, spiritual paths, and spiritual traditions have been given portions of the "Owners Manual for a True Human Being".
It's in mans hands and heart to locate this manual and become an excellent Gardener!

Truth is in the Mind of what anyone wants Believe,
therefore it is not equally accepted by all, neither can it be
defined by all as " Truth ". If Truth is based on " Facts ",
and Facts come from the "Latin" meaning:That which is
Made Up ", Then Truth Can't Be Truth If It's Made Up.
Maybe Truth is Illusive.

Truth is the property of being in accord with fact or reality.
Human reason is the spark of the divine within us. It is our capacity to know the truth of things.
One thing that make us human is our ability to think our way through to convictions (or strong beliefs). So reason and faith cannot be in conflict.
True faith
+ Is reasonable faith
+ Makes sense
+ Can be proposed as reasonable to others
With love in Christ.

If it conforms with fact, reality, and objectivity, then that's probably as close as you can get to what "truth" is. I believe that we can hold different versions of the same "truth" based on our individual perceptions and our level of intelligence.

Realty depends on your perception of it...
Truth is truth whether you perceive it or not...
So we have billions of realities, one truth.
i would say truth is obtained from science and religion
