The Checklist for Truth~

Truth can be amorphous, sometimes indistinct and slippery. You might hear a political candidate say something and claiming it is true, but it just doesn't feel right. A friend posts something on social media that piques your curiosity, and you know this person would never purposely lie to you, but you just aren't sure of his source, so you check it and find that it cannot be verified. So how do you KNOW what is true, or not?

There is a checklist for truth, a proceedure and process that allows you to know for certain that what you believe is the truth. Information-Knowledge-Wisdom-Truth! 

Truth is Singular and Absoliute! Truth contains NO lies, falsehoods, obfuscations, or deceptions. God says this about the people that have truth in them, "And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless." (Rev.14:5). To find and define truth a person needs wisdom.

Wisdom is the assessment of knowledge. Wisdom comes through the understanding and colating of the disparate elements of a topic and finding the underlaying connections. Wisdom is the gatekeeper of Truth!

Knowledge comes through the learning of and sifting of copious amounts of data and deciding what is verifiable and what is unreliable. 

Information is the data from which the basis of all knowledge is formed. GIGO-garbage IN, garbage OUT is the term that is used to describe the idea that poor quality input will always produce faulty output. If the source of the information that you use to develope your knowledge of a subject is faulty the knowledge itself will be useless.

At every stage of the development and discovery of truth there must be basic elements that are wholly reliable and uncorrupted by lies. Only Jesus speaks these words. He IS Truth!
