Truth, a street level definition

You can define truth without bringing God into the picture, but you can't defend truth without bringing God into the picture.

You can say truth is empirical fact and persuasive logic. God not needed in that definition.

Then the devil says truth is relative and truth evolves.

Now you need God.

Why is truth not relative and not something that evolves? Because ultimately truth resides in the mind of God, which means truth is objective, unified, and timeless.

How do we access the mind of God?

Via God's self-revelation in the Old and New Testaments, and also via the book of nature.

So you can seek and apprehend truth via empirical discovery and logic, but to defend truth from charges of being relative and subject to evolving you need to see where truth ultimately resides, within the mind of God, the Creator of heaven and earth, where truth is seen in its essence: objective, unified, and timeless.

Truth is an influence that emanates from the mind of God that you discern with your Holy Spirit and word of God quickened conscience.
