What is Truth?

1. Does Truth Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, Correspondence Theory, Deanna Huff, Gospel, Objectivism, relativism, truth, What is truth, www.bellatorChristi.com
Most people expect others to tell the truth, and we can witness this expectation in many spheres. In law, truth is taken so seriously that people must be sworn in by raising their right hand and making an oath to tell the truth. In football, referees are accountable for making calls based on the truth. In business, people are expected to be truthful employees. Yet it seems that our society is confused about what truth is.
