Existence exists. Existence is fundamentally self evident. Anything that is self evident is self evident because it exists.
Does what is actually true really matter to you?

I will not answer the question but go to scripture for the answer
2 Timothy 4: 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Truth comes from rightly dividing the word of truth, I don't invent it... Brother Glen:) -
Yiu seem to be saying since 1+1=2, that is evidence God exist. I don’t recall any passage of scripture that supports that, but I am open to being educated.
peace to you -
In a thread about sticking to truth, I see this whopper has been posted:
Scripture tells us the truth of God’s existence should be obvious from His creation. We also know from scripture the effect of sin in the lives of humans has caused them, everyone, to reject this revelation of God found in creation. What scripture says everyone because of sin rejects the revelation of God from what He has made. That would mean we have an excuse, but we have none, because God has made Himself clear to us. See Romans 1:19 -
John 14:6, ". . . Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. . . ."
John 1:1-3, ". . . the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. . . ." -

Scripture is objective. Scripture is truth. Our interpretations are understandings of that truth.
I suggest taking a highlighter and highlighting Scripture. That is truth. That is objective. That remains regardless of us. Now explain what that means to you. That is subjective. -
I notice you didn’t ask him if it was just a different interpretation when he called me a liar.
peace to you -
Which one do you think it is, Salty? -

The Foundation of Reason, CREATED BY GOD,
which permits 1+1=2 and for 1+1=2 to CONTINUE TO BE TRUE,
from day to day, is PROOF of THE EXISTANCE of GOD.
RE; 'What is your understanding of God being a self-evident truth? Like the concept of 1 + 1;= 2?' -
God's Hebrew Name in the third person means, self "Existent."
Now existence exists. And self evident truths are self evident because they obviously exist.
Now God Himself is the fundamental self evident truth by which all other self evident truths are able to be self evident. See Acts of the Apostles 17:28, ". . . For in him we live, and move, and have our being; . . ." -
Here again is what I said, "

So I am on the side of taking Romans 1:19 for what it says, and the whopper is breathtaking in its ignorance of scripture. -
and I find calling a poster "ignornat" as a poor way to describe someone on this board. -
In post #24, Van called me a liar. Does that offend you
peace to you -
but I do not monitor this 24 hours a day -
proper action - hit report - then we will deal with it. -
I was responding to another poster. Van repeated what I said, called it a “whopper”, which means a big lie, and then quoted the passage of scripture which demonstrates I am correct, as if it meant the opposite of what I said and disproved my statement.
I didn’t call Van a liar. I didn’t say he is stupid. What I said was he is ignorant of what this passage of scripture means. I am accurate in my assessment. He is ignorant of the truth of Romans 1.
And now I have said all that I want in this thread since it has been hijacked.
