The Bible says that the earth is flat.
The Tree Of Knowledge of Good and Evil was a bad, bad tree.
Sarah snickered because she didn't believe she'd be a mom.

Not true.

Truth is a Person: Jesus Christ (John 14:6). A true story is a story that reflects the nature of Christ.

Truth comfortably stretches from reality into fiction (parables like the Good Samaritan are true, but not historically verifiable), and does not contain all reality.

An event that really happened may not be true and an event that was made up may be true.
