What exactly is truth? This has been the philosophers' burden. But truth is a very complex thing to define. In a layman way, I would rather say, that truth does not really exist. Only what you consider or accept as truth is true.


The definition copied from the dictionary above tried to define the 'ttuth' but end up giving types of truth.


Human beings have been searching for the ' truth' and will continue to search till they kingdom come. On this platform, all manners of arguments ranging from reasonable to the ridiculous and violent are common.
In search of the truth, we cross one religion or denomination to another. Some others remain aloof. They don't clutter their minds with any loads of teachings.

What is the truth? I like to relate what a prized astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson has to say.

He categorizes the truth into three:
1. Personal Truth
This is what you accept to be true. You want to lay down your life for it. It could border on personal experiences. Something that happened to you and no one can reason you out of.

2. Environmental Truth
This is what is accepted to be true in a community.
For instance Antichristian doesn't see anything good in other religions other than Islam. The same goes for almost all Muslims. However, if he was born in Nnewi, his chances of him being a Muslim is very small. Same way MaximumSide can never dream about a burning hell nor myself thinking or dreaming of the apparition of Virgin Mary. This kind of truth makes one believe in the mysterious: virgin birth, someone taking your sins, stoning an innocent Satan by the likes of my friend Antichristian.



3. Objective Truth
This is verifiable truth. A repeatable, universal truth. This is what science is looking for. Something universal in it's scope. Something you can willing bring out or verify. This kind has removed from mankind all manners of superstitions. Many 'gods' and practices today have been eclipsed by this kind of truth.

The question still remains: what is the truth?

Truth is whatever is True eg men do not walk using their heads.

The truth is indisputable fact!

Every fact can be disputed even if the dispution can be quashed

But Truth quashes all lying disputings.

Like Sango is the god of thunder and when invoked, it produces indisputable destruction. The adherents by experience know this.


MaximumSide, is your own organization's ' truth' truer than those Catholic devotees who claimed to have see Virgin Mary' s apparition in Edo state?

What is your truth?

Dtruthspeaker:


Truth is whatever is True eg men do not walk using their heads.

In Yorubaland yọu hear people saying if you open your eyes you see people walking on their heads.

Don't tell stories until you get your eyes opened and verify it.

See! You said "they say" and they say is not a good place to find Truth, therefore you have not disputed the Truth which everyone has seen with their eyes, even you, that people do not walk using their heads.

According to a first century Jewish carpenter called "Jesus of Nazareth" who claims he possesses ultimate truth {John 14:6} the truth irritates the ruler of this world {John 8:44} so majority of earth's inhabitants will hate whoever loves or says the truth {John 15:19} but no matter what the Prince of this world do lovers of truth will discover it {John 8:32} and it will help them to search for their kind {Matthew 10:6} in order for them to form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} because truth will make them have the same line of thought globally! John 17:20-23

So Jesus promised all truth seekers that they'll see a sign as proof of their uprightness which is having families and homes awaiting them anywhere they go throughout the world {Matthew 19:27-29} because the truth will unite them in love {John 13:34-35} and there will be peace among them! John 14:27

This can't be disputed globally no matter what any critic want to say! Isaiah 54:17

People crossing from JW to pentecostal and vice versa. What have left and what have they found? Is the truth lost? When you left Islam you left falsehood ( Antichristian shaking his head) and you found your truth shey?

Truth is a personal commodity for the now.



I have not lost faith o.

Jesus is the last bus stop

The end of all search and research.

Don't stoop into stupidity because you want to make a score. It is settled already. We all see that people are walking with something we call legs and not on their heads even by looking at them on the street.

I only answered your question i have nothing to do with none JWs when it comes to matters having to do with FAITH so if you feel your God welcome all forms of worship/religion in Jesus name that's your own opinion to me only JWs worship my own God!

So, your truth is walking on legs and others on their heads. The truth you admit is how far you have gone..
..in your own line of truth are you at the very Frontline?

The 3rd definition of truth is the generally accepted meaning when speaking in a group. However I do acknowledge the other usages, I don't see those as truth though, I think of them as beliefs. Beliefs may be true or false but it is the 3 definition that provides proper context for those I consider beliefs.

Anyhow you like to put it just know that i am one of Jehovah's Witnesses our truth regarding worship is not interchangeable it's either you're one of us to be a worshiper of our God or you're not a worshiper of our God if you aren't worshiping with us!
That doesn't make you our enemy it's just that when talking about our family in the house of faith you're not among!

Truth doesn't care about your subjective feelings. No matter how hard or long you feel gravity should allow you jump off a building unaided and land safely, that will never happen. You can love eba and think it's the greatest food in the world, that doesn't make it true.

You are right,
However, what I admit to be true is my own truth the same goes for you.

There are so many people that have been jailed, killed in the Courts of Law based on available fact's then just to discover later that the facts were incomplete. You are limited by your knowledge about any truth no matter what analysis.


Even science is not left out. At the frontiers of scientific knowledge nothing is absolute.
Dear friend we are saying the same thing.

Dear friend we are saying the same thing.

I guess my point it's a misnomer to call what you admit to be true to be truth, I think it should be referred to as belief.

Of course our knowledge of truth is limited, it's unfortunately so as you have pointed out, it causes problems. Which is why I think we should acknowledge when we are going off on incomplete knowledge which we should call belief. Even the courts know that they are not arbiters of truth, they are arbiters of facts.

Science has never claimed to establish absolute truth, that's something people mistake. What science does is present our best interpretation of the world around us which is most times simplified for our own perceptions and understandings.

Note the bolded. Personal Truth is an individual truth, what you consider to be true. However, truth itself is like a constitution of an eutopia state. We strive to attain or know. No human endeavours has actually provided anything near absolute.


My friend Antichristian and MaximumSide are claiming in their own rights that their religious leanings has absolute truth. Ha! When you question the veracity of the truth, especially their leaders' errors they deny or make excuses, ' humans are not perfect.'

So, dear friend. No matter what angle you see it -truth if there is anything like that -is traveling at the speed of light in the endless universe while we chase it with bicycle.

I don't personally accept that there is anything like absolute truth so if you mean that we are in a constant chase for increasing our knowledge then sure I agree that our knowledge levels would be varied.
