Hey guys i was wondering if you could help me out with this-

1. God can only speak truth
2. For God to lie would mean He denies himself which in turn He would lose the status of God thus God cannot lie.
3. For the concept of lying to exist Truth must first exist and it cannot be the other way.
4.But God is truth
5.Thus God exists

I feel like there's hole in there some where, can you maybe help me fix it or something like that?

God bless!

What are you hoping to achieve with (1) and (2)? How do these feed into 3,4,5?

"God is truth" does not mean "truth is God".

So it is not logically sound to say 1) truth exists, 2) God is truth, 3) therefore God exists.

It would be sound to say 1) truth exists; 2) truth is God; 3) therefore God exists; but this is not what we believe as Christians.

You could argue that 1) truth exists; 2) truth is contingent upon God's existence; 3) therefore God exists. However (2) is not immediately obvious and would require some justification.

What are you hoping to achieve in general?
