This would be the same god that told Adam & Eve they would die on the day they ate from that infamous tree?
Your lying God did not say that, God said : if you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall surely die, and they did that very day, they died a spiritual death, and later in life they die a physical death, God had it right twice, because they did not have to die either death.

I personally don't have a good written definition for what truth is, or at least a definition that doesn't use some derivative of the word truth.
My father would say that truth is whatever God says.
And I know my father is a brilliant debater because I've watched him debate people on other topics. Nowhere did I say that he was simply a brilliant religious debater. One can debate well and still be wrong about religion.
You seem to have a true respect for your father, even if you do not believe the way he does. Truth is not a what or what if, truth is who God is, it's His absolute nature.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
