Les Feldick Bible Study

If Jesus is truth, what is the opposite of truth?

The opposite of truth is the lie, and its source is the devil. Jesus Christ is the epitome of truth, but Satan is a liar and the father of lies; he does not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him, and every lie originates with him rather than God.

Les explains that since grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, and Christ is the epitome of truth, the direct opposite is the lie. He points to John 8:44, where Jesus tells the Jews their father is the devil, a murderer from the beginning who did not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When the devil speaks a lie, it originates with him; he is a liar and the father of it, the originator of every lie.
