JC Report 6: Half-truths

Jesus Christ Report 6.

Have you ever told a half-truth? For example, say, you go to a meeting and pretend you're the boss. The people at the meeting think you're the boss because you act like the boss. But you never actually said you were the boss, so you think you're not lying. That's a half-truth.

Keep in mind this: if it's half true, what do you think the other half is? A lie. So, mathematically speaking, if you tell 7 half-truths, that equals three and a half lies. Even though you didn't lie, a half-truth is still designed to deceive people. And that is just as bad as if you were lying.

In the Bible it says that if we tell the truth, we will become more like Christ. And I'd wouldn't want to become like Christ only half-way, right?
