Headline: What Is the Plumb Line of Truth? A plumbline or plumb line is a piece of string, wire, etc., with a pointed weight at the end (see picture). The tight rope or string is pulled tight due to the force of gravity. A plumb line points to the direction of true vertical. Similarly, a level is a device used in construction to identify true horizontal (see picture). The force of gravity again is used.

Standard of Comparison
What is truth without a standard of comparison? Truth is not fact or opinion. It cannot be modified, manipulated, created, or destroyed. It is not my own personal belief or value system. Truth is steadfast, original, and indestructible. Truth existed prior to mankind. Truth is like a plumb line or a level construction device. It identifies direction. It clearly separates what is from what isn’t.
Characteristics of Truth
Truth is Absolute: Truth is not dependent upon anybody or anything else.
Truth is Universal: Truth affects everybody and everything. You cannot escape it or run away from it.
Truth is Objective: Truth is not based on thoughts, perceptions, subjective opinions, or personal experiences. It can be defined into a yes or no statement.
Truth is Exclusive: Truth creates a clear division or separation between what belongs and what does not belong. It is like a plumbline that identifies vertical. Anything that is parallel to it is also vertical. Everything else is not.
