📚 Facts: The Gospel Truth and Beyond! 🌟
Definition
A fact is a nugget of truth that pairs perfectly with reality. Imagine reality handing out VIP passes—facts are simply ticket holders in this exclusive club. When you have a fact, you have something proven, actual, and oh-so-real. In Christianity, God is considered the treasurer of this grand vault of facts. Think of God as the ultimate cosmic librarian categorizing every conceivable truth.
Meaning
When boiled down to its essence, a fact is a statement that aligns perfectly with the way things genuinely are. It’s like matching socks—not flashy but completely indispensable.
