La Vérité "Truth" by Jules Joseph Lefebvre

Truth has a variety of meanings, primarily being in accord with fact or reality,^[1] fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal and, in common usage, constancy or sincerity in action or character.^[1]

The opposite of truth is falsehood, which, correspondingly, can also take on a logical, factual or ethical meaning.

In religious context, truth is regarded as an aspect of God since the deity is reputed to have knowledge of all things (omniscience).^[2]

Thus God may hold the office of divine judgment, by which all people are ultimately judged.^[3]

Various theories and views of truth continue to be debated among scholars and philosophers.

Language and words are a means by which humans convey information to one another and the method used to recognize a "truth" is termed a criterion of truth.

There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth: what things are truthbearers capable of being true or false; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether

truth is subjective or objective,relative or absolute.
