What do you mean by truth?

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.

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

Well the word only means “word,” in Koine Greek, which is the Greek the Bible was written in, not classical Greek, so don’t know what that would have to do with it.

Very disappointed in you betty boop.

What does the word mean when a parent punishes their child for not telling the truth. Or do you not believe children should be taught to tell the truth? And when the child asks, “what is truth,” your answer will be “Logos, in both the classical Greek and Christian meanings of that Word?”

Good grief gal, I wasn’t asking a theological question, just a simple common sense one. What do you mean by truth. When a news reporter presents some wild story you know can’t be true, and someone remarks, “that’s not the truth,” what does that mean? It certainly doesn’t mean “that’s not Logos in both the classical Greek and Christian meanings of that Word?”

If you cannot explain what you mean about the simplest concepts... oh, never mind.
