The Truth is anything that is universally consistent and free from all contradictions or paradoxes; All things that are universally consistent and free from all contradications or paradoxes are perfect. God is perfect. Therefore God is the Truth. If man chooses not to believe in God, he chooses not to believe in the Truth.
Since all reason, is founded upon an assumption of the Truth, those who do not believe in God; can never trully understand themselves or their universe.

You seem to be endorsing a “coherence theory” of truth. I would prefer a “correspondence theory” of truth, ie. something is true if it corresponds to something in the real world.

I do see a bit of an issue with your argument. If you mean contradiction in the logical sense, then it seems reasonable to say that there are no contradictions in all of reality. (If you deny this, then it seems like you are denying the principle of non-contradiction. Either reality is free of contradictions, or for some p, p & ~p.) But then it would seem that all of reality is free from contradictions; therefore, all of reality is perfect. That seems not to be the case. Some things are imperfect.

Hmmmmn.
What the difference between fact and fiction?
… Only fiction has to make sense.

So “anything that is universally consistent and free from all contradications or paradoxes” is God?
 
The Kernel of my definition is based on the mathematician Kurt Kodel’s incompleteness theorem. It is very simple to understand. Our reality is imperfect by the very fact that we occupy a place in Space and Time. God does not.

Also, Thank You Very Much to all those who have answered my thread. God Bless.

Maybe…
“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn’t.”

Or perhaps
“It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.”
