Lies enslave; truth sets you free!
"Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'—only to go on doing all these abominations?"
Jeremiah 7:8-10 (ESV)
Words can be used to either reinforce truth or manipulate the masses with cleverly masked lies. The lies can be so well said that those who speak them believe them. If you are a liar, you are either lying on purpose or you have been deceived and believe the lie is the truth. Those who lie feel personally attacked when you confront them with a lie, and rightfully so.
Honest people are willing to examine what they believe, and then evaluate it against the truth. Dishonest people have no way to evaluate what they believe. They alone are the authority for this belief, making any challenge against what they have said a challenge to them, personally.
