Truth is made in heaven. Truth is against the nature of mankind. All Cretans are liars, said the Cretan. Yet the Cretan was the prophet of Zeus and so was able to tell the truth by prophecy. Truth starts in heaven where truth is still the regime. It comes to humans chiefly by the power of the message that Christ died for us. This is how we know the truth of God. Then the power of heaven can make us truthful. Then it’s up to us to persist that truthfulness by making it habit. This breaks the cursed cycle of lies. Once the lying is broken the truth can be known and since its source is heavenly it can be pragmatically absolute, a phenomenon of real religion.
