On that basis, anything not in the Scriptures that does not contradict a Scripture, can be a truth!

Finally, you've got it!

Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin.

The Wright Brothers flew for the first time at Kitty Hawk in 1903.

The U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1789.

Cleveland is a city in Ohio.

Want more examples?

LOL we get the Marian apologetic. IMO it's not the "truth" part that sends us into fits of laughter, so much as the Catholic claims that any of it is "scriptural".

I must acknowledge that there is no explicit verse that directly settles this issue. At the same time, I don’t think that an explicit verse is necessary to prove that something is scriptural. I think that if a doctrine is implied in Scripture or logically follows from what we find in Scripture, and if there is nothing in Scripture that directly refutes it, then that belief can be considered scriptural.
