What are words like false pretense and gospel truth considered as?

the question says it all.


like a pretense is a false action. so a false pretense would be saying the same thing twice


and gospel means truth, so a gospel truth would just be like a truth truth





so what are words like that considered as?What are words like false pretense and gospel truth considered as?
I let you be the judge is it pleonasm or is it tautology?





Pleonasm is the use of more words or word-parts than is NECESSARY for clear expression: examples are black darkness, tuna fish, or burning fire.





Tautology is an UNNECESSARY or unessential (and sometimes unintentional) repetition of meaning, using different and dissimilar words that effectively say the same thing twice.


Examples are free gift, new innovation, or short summary





false pretense


noun Law


False representation of fact or circumstance, calculated to mislead.





gospel truth鈥?


鈥搉oun an unquestionably true statement, fact, etc.





Truth can have a variety of meanings, from the state of being the case, being in accord with a particular fact or reality, being in accord with the body of real things, events, actuality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard. In archaic usage it could be fidelity, constancy or sincerity in action, character, and utterance. The term has no single definition about which a majority of professional philosophers and scholars agree, and various theories and views of truth continue to be debated.





To me truth means the truth in the consideration that none of it is false, thus it shall be true.





But for sworn testimony of the whole truth is an additional condition of not misleading by conscientious omission of truthful evidence.


For an example of a sworn testimony:


I solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
