There are many Incorrect ideas about Truth. Some of the common misconceptions are listed below:

Truth is self-evident.

If truth was self-evident, there would be universally accepted propositions and the search after truth would have ended long ago.

Truth is what we all agree upon.

There is nothing that we all agree upon! (including this statement!)

What is true for me can be false for you.

This person does not have the faintest notion of what Truth means.

All truth is God's Truth, (assuming that Truth can be found through human efforts).

This statement betrays the fact that the person has no idea what Truth is. If the statement was valid, it would mean that anyone is able to reach into God's mind and see what Truth resides there by simply stating a "true" proposition.

Truth is not something that is separate from God.

Truth is not something that "belongs" to God, or is "known" by God, or is "believed" by God, Truth IS God.

Truth is what can be proven in the laboratory.

Scientists can never discover truth.

Truth can be easily discovered.

One of the most foolish statements ever recorded.

Truth is what God believes to be True.

Anyone with a basic understanding of the nature of God should know that believing is NOT one of God's activities. The idea that God believes is repulsive and betrays a lack of understanding of the Nature of Knowledge. Believing is a necessary activity for fallible and ignorant beings.

Believing is what is needed to acquire knowledge. By definition, God does not need to acquire additional knowledge.

Talk of God's beliefs is of course a danger signal; one who so speaks of God can hardly command serious attention. We may ascribe knowledge to God, but not belief. Belief is a disposition to think and talk and act in various ways; God, who is eternal, can have no dispositions, let alone variable ones.

Peter Geach; Truth & Hope; p77

All we need do is look into ourselves and we will find truth.

There is nothing in us that is true because we are all fallible, changeable, lacking in knowledge, and unable to distinguish the true from the false.

It is indubitably true that I live or exist.

Descartes' (and Augustine's) famous presupposition is without foundation. We can all be the figments of someone's imagination or the dream of a person who has eaten too much pizza. Furthermore, Descartes never defined what he meant by truth. Our only assurance that we exist is because we believe in Jesus Christ when He declares that He created us. (John 5:46)

Am I certain that I exist? Yes. Can I prove it? No.
... Our existence cannot be demonstrated... we have no clear and strong consciousness of it that it leaves us no uncertainty; but it is impossible to prove by reasoning.

Rev. James Balmes- Fundamental Philosophy- p105- 1856

As Isaac Newton stated, when we discover nature's laws, we are thinking God's thoughts after Him. God's thoughts are always true.

At first sight this sounds very sincere and pious, but on further investigation we see that it is the statement of a person whose arrogance has exceeded his knowledge of God's nature. To ascribe our thoughts to God is to make ourselves equal to God, a terrifying thought.
