What is Truth?

A simple definition.

"What is truth?"

- Pontius Pilate to Jesus of Nazareth (John 18:38).

The Truth, defined simply, is.

It exists.

You are reading this sentence is truth.

The Truth is also what was.

You have read the prior sentence is truth.

Note this statement is true now, it was true a moment ago, and will forever be true.

You have read these words. It is what happened.

Note too that despite no one else knowing this is true, it is true.

You could tell someone else this fact and maybe they would believe you.

Maybe they would test you to ensure the validity of your statement.

Or maybe they would say you are lying.

Maybe they would make a commercial saying you were a liar, and broadcast it to thousands of people.

And yet what you said is true. You did read the words.

The point is that The Truth is not determined by consensus, or an authority figure, or even perception.

The Truth is.

And always will be.
