“Boiling it all down, where do we humans get the universal idea of Truth from in the first place...”

What do you mean by truth?

Just curious because you seem to use it to mean something other than an attribute pertaining to statements. Where do we humans get the universal idea of heat. Isn’t it simply the attribute of all hot things? Isn’t truth simply the attribute of all true statements?

That sounds a whole lot like Pilate's question: What is truth? Pilate asked it at the very moment Truth was standing right in front of him and looking him directly in the face. Pilate didn't even recognize it....

What I mean by Truth is Logos. In both the classical Greek and Christian meanings of that Word.
