God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (Exodus 3:14 NASB)
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (Romans 1:19-20 ESV)
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6 KJV)
Truth is one;
Truth is verifiable, objective (Romans 1:19-20);
Truth is immutable.
However, there is some caveats to the above attributes of truth. Truth is only verifiable by one with the mean to verify. For example, the sky is blue may be true, but a blind person cannot verify this truth. The immutability of truth also depend on the immutability of the object of truth. for example, one may be 5 kg at one year old but 50 kg at ten, so the weight changes with time. But the weight of a particular person at a point of time and location is immutable. [So not all truth are provable because of our limitations. That is why salvation is by faith, not logic.

Opinion, perspective, knowledge and science are not truth. They may contain truth, or rather, truth in progress. They are products of man's experience in time and they change with discovery and increase of knowledge.
Only the Word of God contain pure truth.
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. (Proverbs 30:5 ESV)
