PROPERTIES OF TRUTH

TRUTH EXISTS

It is self-defeating to deny the existence of truth.

TRUTH IS UNCHANGEABLE

It is impossible for truth to change. All true propositions are immutable truths.

What is true today

Has allways and will always be true

TRUTH IS ETERNAL

By extension of its Unchangeable nature, Truth must be Eternal. Even if every created thing ceases to exist, Truth will continue to exist. Then Any denial of the eternity of truth turns out to be an affirmation of its eternity.

TRUTH IS SPIRITUAL

The existence of truth presupposes the existence of minds.

Minds

No minds
Knowledge

TRUTH IS SUPERIOR TO THE HUMAN MIND

Truth is immutable, but the human mind is changeable. Even though beliefs vary from one person to another, truth itself cannot change.

WE WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE SEEK OF TRUTH.

GOD
No created thing possesses the attributes of Truth or God. There can be no True propositions about created entities, because they are all dependent on Space, Time or Matter. God is the only one who can give an account of why things are they way they are. Gives logic and reason its proper place
