The Half-Truth Is The Most Dangerous Lie

Genesis 3:1-3, “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.  And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”

Dr. Manly P. Hall was a high level 33rd degree Freemason who truthfully wrote:

“The half-truth is the most dangerous form of lie, because it can be defended in part by incontestable logic.”

When the serpent came to tempt Eve, he employed the HALF-TRUTH to trick her. You can read what God actually told Adam in Genesis 2:16-17. God forbad them from eating the fruit, but the LORD didn't forbid them to touch the fruit.

Also, the serpent lied when he misquoted God to Eve, alleging that God said they couldn't eat from “every tree,” when in fact there was only one tree from which they were forbidden to eat the fruit in the midst of the garden. Satan is a beautiful liar!

Although not a born again Christian, Manly P. Hall is so right—the most dangerous form of lie is the HALF-TRUTH! The reason why the “half-truth” is so dangerous is because the part that is true can be verified, which provides a cover and credibility to the part that is a lie.

Another classic example of the HALF-TRUTH is the 911 Attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City on September 11, 2001. The TRUTH is that professional demolition was used to implode those three WTC buildings (1, 2 and 7); the LIE is that two planes crashing into buildings 1 and 2 caused those skyscrapers to implode.

ALL of the modern English Bible revisions have been horribly corrupted by Satan. You cannot trust any of them! Please only use the inspired King James Bible, which is trustworthy!

Here again (concerning the modern perversions of the Bible) we see the HALF-TRUTH employed by Satan. The TRUTH is that most portions of the modern Bibles are indeed easier to understand; the LIE is the thousands of corruptions in today's Bible versions, which brutally attack and remove Jesus' deity, the godhead, the true meaning of repentance, et cetera.

Dear reader, please BEWARE of the deceit, falsehoods and lies which will come to you in the FORM of truth. 2nd Timothy 3:5, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” When dealing with cleverly fabricated half-truths, without biblical discernment it can be difficult to detect the lies. 

This is why I highly encourage all of my ministry followers to 'SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES' daily (John 5:39; Acts 17:10-11). Listen to lots of fundamentalist Bible preaching from doctrinally-sound preachers who are learned in the Scripture, who fight against sin and corruption, who care about hurting sinners, who are King James Bible only and preach an accurate free grace Gospel. Jesus is precious!!!
