I wish this question was my own, but I saw it on FB.

The question is still valid, however.


Truth is inherently an aspect of God (much like beauty, or justice, or mercy, or forgiveness).

And so, it is not so much a case of God is unable to lie, so much as it is "the truth can't be false"  - to suggest otherwise would be a logical fallacy.

Okay, cool.

So.... is everything a part of said diety's nature?

You mention 'Beauty' (Which would actually seem to ve more individual specific and hence 'Subjective') so does that also include hideousness? (Que Monty Python's "All things dull and ugly)

The diety can NOT lie. So, again, if everything stems from said diety whence comes any falsehoods? The implication being that falsehoods can't come from a 'Totally truthful' diety.

Cheers and welcome to the forum. Smile
