"Epistemology" -
the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope, and the distinction between justified belief and opinion.
Eg
"what can we know?"
"what is truth?"
and the like.
In the Greek/Western conception, truth (aletheia) is a property generally ascribed to linguistic states:
a proposition p is true if and only if p obtains in the (empirical/observable) world.
That is, truth has to do with some sort of correspondence between our thinking (as expressed by language) and states of affairs in the world.
When we affirm that something is true, we mean that the description we are trying to convey through our language obtains not only for ourselves, but for others who use language in a public way.
Language, then, is not a subjective interpretation, but a means of COMMUNICATING about REALITY.
The so-called "Greek" conception of truth as a static property that pertains to propositions inevitably led to metaphysical speculations about "essences" and "universals" as something "more real" than the everyday world of particular cats, trees, and water lilies.
This perspective found its ultimate expression in Platonism of various kinds.
Platonism is the view that there exist such things as abstract objects — where an abstract object is an object that does not exist in space or time and which is therefore entirely non-physical and non-mental.
Abstract - existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.
APPEARANCE and REALITY are two DIFFERENT things, and only by means of abstraction (from the particular to the universal) can the TRUTH about ULTIMATE REALITY be known.
Philosophers have finessed these ideas over the centuries, but in our postmodern age have largely abandoned the idea that there is an "objective truth" that is uncolored by the bias of the interpreter.
Cynically, all truth claims are on par epistemologically, since knowledge (being traditionally understood as "justified, true belief") is never entirely justified (since it always has a "subtext" that disguises the motive for power), nor true (since the appeal to truth is little more than the rationalization of one's interest),
and perhaps does not even constitute a belief (since belief is largely an unconscious matter that is not shaped by rational endeavor).
The Hebraic conception of truth, while not denying the importance of correspondence, seems to have a different focus.
The Greek conception of truth as a static property that pertains to propositions inevitably led to metaphysical speculations about "essences" and "universals."
The Hebrew mind, on the other hand, seemed more focused on the dynamic, the changing, and the idea that truth involved the formation of the character of the person -- and the restoration of the world.
Especially in relation to God, to Whom the Jew must give account, the nature of truth becomes grounded in the moments of decision encountered in one's life.
Shall I steal?
Shall I turn a blind eye to social injustice? etc.
if they follow this law, they are saying God is truth
The Seal of Truth
The sages sometimes say "the seal of God is truth," since the final letters of the three words that conclude the account of creation, i.e., בָּרָא אֱלהִים לַעֲשׂוֹת, bara Elohim la'asot ("God created to do" [Genesis 2:3]), spell the word emet:
What is seal? seal is a confirmation, authority
At the end of each Hebrew words are used to form the word emet
God created to do
In other words, God created REALITY "to do" (la'asot), which has come to be interpreted by the sages as meaning that it is our responsibility, as God's creatures, to complete the "doing" of His Creation (tikkun Olam).
Truth is about doing, not being...
Note that the "Seal of God" is not just a matter of sincerity.
It is rather a matter of being true in the sense that you are LIVING IT, you are BEING WITH IT, you are PART of IT.
You exist INSIDE this TRUTH as a passion and this truth INFORMS ALL of the DECISIONS you MAKE in life.
You therefore embody the truth and follow it in all your endeavors.
God Himself is truth
What He said about Himself can be dependable upon, can be trusted.
Truth is the reality and therefore we will follow it
Yeshua the Mashiach is the Truth, since in Him there was no mismatch between who He is and what He said.
He is utterly trustworthy.
His ACTIONS and SPEECH are one and are entirely reliable.
Jesus is the "Seal of God," the one who authoritatively names all of creation,
and His followers likewise should evidence this in their lives.
Truth Encompasses All
Some of the Hebrew letters have two forms: a form for when the letter appears at the end of a word and a form for when the letter appears any other time.
If the whole twenty-two letter alphabet were listed out plus the five final forms of the letters that have one, there would be twenty-seven characters.
Then, if you take the first, 14th and 27th letters, the FIRST, MIDDLE and LAST, you would have the letters that make up the word emmet. (אֱמֶת)
The ending is in the cross. Covenant
This indicates that TRUTH ENCOMPASSES ALL THINGS and endures from the beginning א) ) to the end (ת).
Truth is not just one piece of the truth, but the whole thing, beginning, middle and end.
If some part of the truth is left out, then it is not really the truth.
If we remove the letter Aleph from the word, we are left with the word "dead" (i.e., met: מֵת), the opposite of life (i.e., chayim: חַיִּים).
Apart from God, there is no truth
Living in self-righteousness, without God
The letter ALEPH is the ineffable letter that represents oneness and preeminent glory of God.
Therefore, if we attempt to ignore or suppress God in our understanding of truth, we end up with death.
JOHN 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I AM
THE WAY הַדֶּרֶךְ))
THE TRUTH (the REALITY), הָאֱמֶת))
and THE LIFE (הַחַיִּים):
NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by me.
those who DENY HIS REALITY are in a state of SPIRITUAL DEATH.
The real thing is what the Word of God says
If you are born again Christian, the reality is what God says
Not by how you feel and how you act
Have we actually got this truth in our head and heart already?
We were non good, no one can come to the Father. Without God, no man can go to the Father except by Jesus
We simply cannot know the MEANING of LIFE APART FROM the Person and Glory of Yeshua our Messiah!
Since truth is all-encompassing, there is always a place for it to be practiced -- there is literally no place or experience that is exempted from its presence -- and therefore, there is always the demand to live in its light.
Anyone define what life is about without Christ is a lie.
Without Christ, we don't know the meaning of life
We need to come to know Jesus Christ
God gave life, only God can define life
What is good need to be define by Christ
JOHN 15:26 AMP
“But when the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the SPIRIT of TRUTH (Ruach HaEmet) who comes from the FATHER,
He will TESTIFY and BEAR WITNESS about ME.
One word is not describing God
What we have are words that try to bring out and communicate with us
The richness and characteristic of God
JOHN 16:13-14 AMP
But when He, the SPIRIT of TRUTH , comes,
He will GUIDE you into ALL the TRUTH [full and complete truth].
For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will SPEAK whatever He HEARS [FROM THE FATHER —
the message REGARDING THE SON],
and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].
He will glorify and honor Me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will TAKE from WHAT is MINE and will disclose it to you.
Anything that is not from the word of God is not truth
Jesus is the way the truth and the life
Eve was deceived and confused
There is no excuse for confusion. We have the truth today.
The word emet comes from a verb (aman) that means to support or make firm, and expresses the image of strong arms of a parent supporting the helpless infant.
Truth stands in active relation to the one who is supposed to know it and "carries the burden," so to speak, by being the foundation of one's existence in creation.
When we believe God's Word as the truth and nothing but the truth, we are being supported
Truth stands in active relation
He takes care of everything will become like the strong arm of the parents or the nurse who is holding you
And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in GOODNESS and TRUTH,
EXODUS 34:6 NKJV
The LORD is said to be ravchesedve-emet, abundant in LOVINGKINDNESS and TRUTH -- even in moments that challenge us in life.
Truth is Personal
The LORD Yeshua our Messiah is called the ALEPH and the TAVהָאָלֶף וְהַתָּו) ), "the first and the last" הָרִאשׁוֹן וְהָאַחֲרוֹן)).
God declared Himself as the truth
He is the truth
He is the first and the last, besides Him there is no one
No other truth, no other God
Whatever we believe that is not in God's word, that is not truth
These are clearly divine titles that exclusively belong to YHVH (Isa. 41:4, 44:6, 48:12; Rev. 1:1,17-18; 22:13).
LUKE 23:3 ERV
Pilate's famous question,
"What is truth?" is a category mistake, since truth is not about "what" but about "Who."
Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Yes, WHAT you say is true.”
That is, truth is not something objective and static, a thing to be known and studied from a distance.
No.
Truth is up-close and personal.
Understood in this way, TRUTH is a WAY of LIVING, a MODE of EXISTENCE, and inherently RELATIONAL.
Truth is not what is being said. it is who!
Personal relationship with God, not about God
It is a mistake to think of God as an "object" to be studied.
No, God is not some static thing but rather a dynamic and forceful Person.
We have a living relationship where we are conscious of God, the moment we wake up until sleep
Truth is personal, is the way of living
Align with the word of God
Begin to act as He acts
It is a mistake to think of God as an "object" to be studied.
No, God is not some static thing but rather a dynamic and forceful Person.
Know Him more, and as we see Him big, our ego becomes smaller
When we see God small, our ego becomes bigger
Unlike the Greek philosophers who tended to regard God as little more than a "machine" (deus ex machina) or device that caused the universe to "get going,"
the LORD God of Israel is intensely personal, feeling, emotional, compassionate, angry, and so on.
He wants to come into your life to teach you and to guide you
The Hebrew view of God is that of a Living Person, a Spoken Word, and a Fiery Breath that broods over the events of the physical world.
TITUS 1:2 KJV
In hope of eternal life, which GOD, that CANNOT LIE, promised before the world began;
God's nature is He cannot lie

Phonetic: psyoo'-dos
Thayer Definition:

conscious and intentional
- whatever is not what it seems to be

JOHN 8:31-32 AMP
So Jesus was saying to the Jews who had believed Him,
“If you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then] you are truly My disciples.
And you will know the TRUTH [regarding salvation], and the TRUTH will SET you FREE [from the penalty of sin].”
Symptoms of not good enough are all lies and half truth
Freedom from the guilt of sin
We get the freedom from the truth
JOHN 8:33 AMP
They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone.
What do You mean by saying, ‘You will be set free’?”
God definition of freedom is freedom from sin
JOHN 8:33 AMP
They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone.
What do You mean by saying, ‘You will be set free’?”
JOHN 8:34-35 AMP
Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, everyone who practices sin habitually is a slave of sin.
Now the slave does not remain in a household forever; the son [of the master] does remain forever.
JOHN 8:36-37 AMP
So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.
I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you plan to kill Me, because MY WORD has NO PLACE [to GROW] in YOU [and it makes NO CHANGE in your HEART].
The joy of the Lord is no reason, it is from within us
Peace is not absent of problem, but presence of God
Jesus said to them, “If you are [truly] Abraham’s children, then DO the works of Abraham and follow his example.
God's word is inside us
We don't have to rebel
We just need to grow in Christ
Abraham knew God, He walks with God
Let His word place in our heart
No more trying to defend ourselves all the time
There is a change inside our hearts
JOHN 8:38-39 AMP
I tell the things that I have seen at My Father’s side [in His very presence]; so you also do the things that you heard from your father.”
They answered, “Abraham is our father.”
JOHN 8:40-41 AMP
But as it is, you want to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God.
This is not the way Abraham acted.
You are doing the works of your [own] father.”
They said to Him, “We are not illegitimate children; we have one [spiritual] Father: God.”
Our characters, whole nature change
JOHN 8:42-43 AMP
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father [but He is not],
you would love and recognize Me, for I came from God [out of His very presence] and have arrived here.
For I have not even come on My own initiative [as self-appointed], but He [is the One who] sent Me.
JOHN 8:42-43 AMP
Why do you misunderstand what I am saying?
It is because [your SPIRITUAL EARS are DEAF and] you are UNABLE to HEAR [the TRUTH of] MY WORD.
Self-righteous people has the tendency to have deaf ears to spiritual
their ears are full of themselves
JOHN 8:44 AMP
You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the DESIRES [which are characteristic] of your father.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is NO TRUTH in him.
When he lies, he speaks what is NATURAL to him, for he is a LIAR and the father of LIES and HALF-TRUTHS.
We can only give what we have received
When we are grown up, we can do the dos and don'ts
not in the perspective i have to, but i want to
JOHN 8:58 TPT
JESUS said to them, “I give you this ETERNAL TRUTH :
I have existed long before Abraham was born, for I AM!”
We need to hear the truth
2 TIMOTHY 2:15 AMP
STUDY and do your best to present yourself to God approved,
a WORKMAN [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed,
accurately handling and SKILLFULLY TEACHING the WORD of TRUTH.
Study
The real truth is from the Word
Truth will set you free
Free from penalty of sin
Only when you know the truth
The truth is Jesus
God is the truth
The truth is found in His Word
The Word of Truth that will set people free!
Truth that set us free
