Pr 8:1–5 Wisdom speaks to all humankind

There is a sense of truth that is immediately apparent.

The Bible does not ascribe to a unique or independent theory of truth. Scriptures assume two qualities about truth; faithfulness and conformity to fact. (Craig and Moreland, p.119)

This equates to what we call the correspondence theory of truth, roughly, the idea that truth is a matter of a proposition (belief, thought, statement, representation) corresponding to reality; truth obtains when reality is the way a proposition represents it to be. (Craig and Moreland, p.119)

Ernest Hemingway once noted that human beings have the most remarkable Bologna meters.

Mine goes off so often, I suppose I’ve got a lot of practice.

But truths are something we grapple with all of the time.

Like me, I imagine you are also constantly confronted with failures, successes and mixtures of the two, and even a bit of the mundane.

Pr 8:6–11 Wisdom speaks what is noble and precious

Folly tempts, but truth is plain.

It is noble, but not proud; right and not twisted/crooked; a real straight shooter/honest and humble; precious beyond comparison.
