Our presuppositions must always be that the truth is knowable, insofar as God reveals it to us in Scripture

The Jews, and Muslims, and Hindus say the same thing, yet they all 'know' a different 'truth' in their scriputres.

And was he correct?

Yes, even though I don't think his teachin was always.

All we can say is "Thank you" and "Thy will be done."

That doesn't prove anything. The point is there is truth and our job is to discern it. The Jews, the Muslims and the Hindus have not found it, regardless of what they think. My faith tells me I have found the truth and it is in Christ risen. The clarity of that fact in Scripture and the peace and assurance it provides to my life lend it even more credibility.

The fruits are good.

OTOH, the Orthodox always seem to hedge their bets and say "we really don't know."

I don't think Paul was obtuse or coy. He knew the reason for his faith, absolutely.
