God's word is true

Truth

According to mainstream definitions truth is the quality or state of being TRUE

When somebody is being sworn in to testify we hear this statement "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth"

Do you solemnly (swear/affirm) that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, (so help you God/under pains and penalties of perjury)

According to google, this statement is used to emphasize the absolute veracity of a statement.

Veracity means conformity to facts, or habitual truthfulness

...”voters should be concerned about his veracity and character”…lol

TRUE - in accordance with fact or reality.

Oprah

“Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.” In honor of those involved in the Me2 movement.

…So this begs the question…what is your TRUTH?

Who is true when my truth is different from your truth?

If we all agree about the same thing, does that make it truth?

If we all believed with all our hearts that I could walk on water or run through a brick wall, does that make it true.

If I am a flawed man, should I trust my own truth?

Genesis 6:5 KJV 1900

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Jeremiah 17:9 KJV 1900

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Heart/Mind: the source of life of the inner person in various aspects, with a focus on feelings, thoughts, volition, and other areas of the inner life

Man is made of a threefold being: body (flesh, experience, pain , disease, sickness and death), soul (the mind, will of man, intellect that is controlled by the five senses), and the spirit (the part that God gave us that HE would know and that would connect with God

Why should I trust the bible?
