"You're reading it wrong. I'm placing the condition on logic."

Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and an object. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the object tells something about the subject.

In the sentence "The truth is always logical":

1. "The truth" is the subject of the sentence

2. "is" is the verb connecting the subject and predicate

3. "Always logical" is the object.

Therefore this sentence is about "the truth." That is the subject of the sentence.

"Always logical" tells something about the subject of the sentence which is "truth."

Therefore your claim that you are "placing a condition on logic" is illogical given your sentence structure.

In your last post to Ruth you used this statement:

"The truth is true, and nothing else is true."

If I placed a condition on truth then so did you. By your reasoning the "condition" of truth is that it must be "true" and "nothing else can be true.

You're splitting hairs here. If something has a condition to it this implies something temporary and the truth is eternal. The only condition for something to be true is that it must BE.

If you want to know what I mean just ask me. I was Not saying that truth has a condition. I am stating what is. Truth can always be explained logically when the facts or principles are known. I see this as what is rather than a condition, but if you want to call it a condition that is fine. It is what it is no matter how we play with the words.
