"Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings. But that's not the way of Christ."
- Colossians 2:8
When a person cannot seem to give me a reply that is straight, I tend to be wary of the person's character. The fact of the matter is this:
If you cannot tell the truth, it means you are afraid of doing so.
If you are afraid of doing so, it means you are hiding something.
If you are hiding something, it means you are afraid of the truth.
People can argue over this trying to justify "withholding the truth" is not the same as lying.
That may be true, but I would not use the word "lying". I would say it is dishonesty.
It annoys me to no end when a person who is label themselves a believer of the faith, while intentionally being dishonest. And that person rather than answer truthfully and simple would rather take greater effort to evade answering while diverting attention to other matters. In doing all that, the person attempts to take the moral high ground. Amazing! The person even proceeds to say that they refuse to dignify with a response.
Such hubris.
When a person finds it difficult to answer truthfully and chooses to be prickly about it at the same time antagonises me, well... Good luck to them with their future relations. They must have pretty high standards... so much so that nobody is able to get close to them. That could explain why these people are alone. Sadly to the end of their days.
A cup that is full cannot take in anymore water. I rather be inferior and with friends.
