What is Truth?

This is obviously not the whole truth, but a small taste.

I am not a superior on the subject of truth, but simply a student.

Pilate asked,”What is truth?” and walked away.

I want to ask the same and wait for an answer.

I want to know truth to make judgements, and not to make judgements about the truth.

I am not a prophet and I have no revelation, but I am an average person who likes to think.

Think with me that maybe truth is…

correct, not conceptual;

specific, not speculative;

absolute, not abstract;

singular, not supposition;

honest, not hypothesis;

definite, not debatable;

quintessence, not questionable;

reality, not relativity;

verity, not variety;

fidelity, not falsity;

proper, not pragmatic;

right, not rumour;

reliable, not reasoning;

immutable, not imaginary;

objective, not opinion;

supernal, not subjective;

eternal, not extinct;

the accurate, not the acceptable;

the ultimate, not the understood;

the legitimate, not the logical;

the Bible, not the big bang;

Theos, not theory;

and Truth is the Word, not the whatever.
