I agree with you about 1 Cor. 13:12, that we cannot be all-knowing.

But I think you are making a distinction between being all-knowing, and simply being able to discern between true and untrue. Will we know the secrets of the universe? Will we ever know for sure who the Nefalim are in Genesis 6? What precisely happened to the Dinosaurs? No, if the Bible doesn't tell us. God has not offered a revelation concerning those things.

But the Bible has offered a revelation concering Himself and His son. Do you see the difference? And Jesus promised that we would be led into all truth.

I should have clarified the question before, so I'll do it now: what I meant by my initial question was, "Do you think it is possible to know when a statement is true or not?"

yes; ppl not only know (the) truth partially, ppl understand it partially; "knowledge itself is comprised also of [e.g., Lance's] elements [&] it has categories (..like 'myth' & 'fact') which are its [interesting] parts"
