Religious phraseology used hypocritically insults God and man. Jesus demands that all who would follow him tell the truth, even when it is not convenient. Guile is wicked. His speech was spotless even when truth-telling exposed him to danger and possible death. We are outraged when people professing the highest scholarship use crooked words to disarm the innocent and take advantage of the naive.
Simple honesty is a precondition of all scholarly work.
I stand amazed in the presence of godless tricks ventilated in the cause of Christian education. The matter at issue, again, is the infamous Resner article denying the virgin birth of the Son of God. Resner, an ACU professor, compares the virgin mother of the Lord to two adulteresses and a prostitute. There are exceptions, of course. Atheists, skeptics, and scorners call her a liar and her son illegitimate.
