The things we do and say play a part in how we are defined! If someone isn't trustworthy, it is with a cause they have done or said something that makes them untrustworthy. Jesus, who is the truth, displays it in all things done and said by Him. The more difficult thing to see with our level of righteousness is how fallen we are since we so immersed in it; it is all we know. ...[text shortened]... nce because who said it. An example would be Dawkins suggesting the universe looks design but isn't.
Paragraphs 1 and 2 are a re-statement of your earlier points. They still lack an explanation of how "truth" can be a person, sorry.
OK, so let me use physics to explain the heated water.
The water boiled because it was heated.
It was heated because a gas flame was lit under it.
A gas flame was lit under it because a knob that controlled a gas source was turned on.
A human being turned the knob on.
The human being chose to turn the knob on because he felt a craving for a cup of tea.
The reason he felt a craving for a cup of tea is that his brain held memories of previously drinking tea. There were mostly positive emotions tied to these memories. The person felt reasonably sure he could feel that same way yet again by making a cup of tea.
The reason people repeat actions that have led to positive experiences previously is because positive experiences feel 'good'.
Positive experiences feel 'good' due to the release of specific chemicals within the brain, such as endorphins.
The reason that there are specific chemical releases in the brain is because the human brain evolved to have those releases in order to encourage behavior that helped humans survive.
Etc., etc., etc.
If determinism is true, then it is possible that a scientific theory may explain every human action ever performed.
