   Unequivocally, according to Merriam-webster.com, the word "Truth" is, "...in accordance with fact..," and wikipedia.org indicates that, "...truth is the opposite of a false statement.
    However, dictionary.cambridge.org has other kinds of "truth," for example, there are seven other kinds of truth, such as "God's truth is "...said to emphasize that something is the complete truth..."  And all the other six "truths" are variations of the Merriam-webster.com a basic definition, "...in accordance with fact.
