Ultimately you and I both know that you have answered the question anyway because you have become immensely irritated with me and a perfect individual w ...[text shortened]... incapable of providing a truthful answer on this so how does anyone know if it's a lie or not?
You really are clueless aren't you? I read your latest post and can only shake my head at it.
First of all, some things really aren't any of your business. You might want to consider allowing a person his privacy, instead of making up a "strategy" to try and coerce it out of them. That's what mature, responsible individuals do. They don't put their desires above the rights of others. The fact that your question is completely irrelevant to the discussion makes it all the more ridiculous.
When you represent something as "fact", you are saying that you have such knowledge. If you don't have such knowledge, you are lying. The lie is in misrepresenting your knowledge. Here's an example. If I were to say it was a fact that someone robbed a liquor store, when I had no such knowledge, it would be a lie. Even if perchance the person actually committed the robbery, it would be irrelevant as to whether or not I was lying.
Your argument about being 'irritated' is illogical. Ask yourself this: Was Jesus without sin? Was Jesus ever 'irritated'? With money lenders, perhaps? Was it even beyond 'irritation'?
Now this is where you might have to resist a typical illogical KM response like, "So, now you think you're like Jesus." Take a couple of breaths. Reread the above paragraph, and notice that the topic is purely about 'being irritated' and whether or not that is sin.
I can't believe I'm still willing to try to explain things like this to you. But on the off chance that this time it'll sink in, here it is.
I could go on, but we'll see how you do with this.
