True on the basis of its verbal meaning isn't a thing in formal system, so not a Tautology, unless you mean by "verbal meaning" the meaning assigned to the term in the system.

Did you know that the Gnostic Demiurge concept of God is fallible?

It is a notion of God as an ordinary human that also was the
sole creator. Ultimately only an omniscient being could make
the 100% reliable call on this.

A being that has no more knowledge than a human creates
the universe by first creating/discovering light from
what is otherwise silences and darkness.

 But is that probable, or even possible.
 

Again the key issue is that someone that is essentially
a fallible human does this.

That is one of your failings, you imgaine something that maybe jus tmight be possible, (even if it isn't) and assume it is.
 

The only actual impossibilities are logical impossibilities.
The strangest logically possible thing is that a real live
two dimensional Bugs Bunny knocks on your door.

 And by promoting such ideas, you show that you do not believe in the actual all powerful God that did create the univesre, and thus whe it

I have long since fully understood that beliefs and
disbelief are lies that we tell ourselves. They are
lies because they close the mind to additional information.

comes time for the judgement of your life, you will be found lacking in the faith needed to redeam you from your failings, and thus spend your eternity seperated from him, in the place, best described in human terms, as the eternal fires of Hell.
 

Faith is not the same thing as the mere presumption that
beliefs often are. Faith is the substance of things hoped for
not the presumption that we are correct thus others are wrong.

If you are not convinced, which is the more likely origin of the world, and which decision has the more impact on what you should do.
 

I am testing the hypothesis that I was deceived by Satan.
Every translation of the bible agrees that God himself would
be this deceiver.
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false,

I have ALWAYS only wanted what-ever the truth turns out to be
even if everyone in the universe disagrees.
*THE TRUTH OF THIS SEEMS INFALLIBLY CORRECT*
That every expression of language that is {true on the basis of
its meaning expressed using language} must have a connection by
truth preserving operations to its {meaning expressed using language}
is a tautology. The accurate model of the actual world is expressed
using formal language and formalized natural language.
*Meaning that all of math and logic that disagrees are WRONG*
