“Satan is the prince of this world,
and since he not only is a liar himself
but also "the father of lies" (John 8:44),
it should not be surprising that
the system he heads is characterized by lying...
Our whole society is largely built
on a network of fabrication, of manufactured ‘truth.’
We shade truth, we cheat, we exaggerate,
we misrepresent income tax deductions,
we make promises we have no intention of keeping,
we make up excuses, and betray confidences –
all as a matter of normal, everyday living.”
- John MacArthur
“In their consciences men know
that truth is right and essential.
That is the one reason they go to such lengths
to make what they say appear to be truthful.
Our problem is in being truthful.”
- John MacArthur
