is the truth inside the human spirit or we should seek the truth from the mouth of others?

The truth is inside you, and inside the reality all around you.  Sometimes other people will say things that help you see it or realize it in a new way.  So listen to others, but listen to your internal self the most.

yes we should try to be honest and truthful always keeping in mind that one lie paves the path for another lie.

truth is the answer.Honesty is always the best policy. we are people and some times we have to go thru a learning process and by it we learn what it is we really want and along the way to that discovery we may not understand, so sometimes we may have to give a explanation but let it be real.

If you believe in something strongly then telling the truth will only make life easier. You will have a load of..If another person is involved then you should approach the problem rationally and take into account other person's point of view and respect it if you really care about the person.

It depends but over all I think it is OK.\n\nyou do want to be as honest and truthful as you can. But face it, truth can hurt and being too honest can get you into trouble. You have a perfectly good point, what do you say? Be honest and hurt their feeling, or lie and keep it to yourself.  Unfortunately it really depends on a lot of things as to which way is right. For instance (in this case), are they serious, or fishing for a complement? How can you tell which one?\n\nReligiously, yes a Lie is a sin; but, of course, so is killing (an extreme). But as we can see in the bible, even that can be justifiable in certain aspects.\n\nGood luck

honesty is good an is also is part of being a good person there is nothing like being free of the lies .however not all trues are necessaries if u feel that saying the true may hurt somebody do not do it. it is not worth it . in the other side there is trues that might hurt another person but that person might need to know be brave and don't hesitate .there is also white lies that at the end can hurt like nothing u might lose a friend but at least u will know in ur heart that u did what u have to do and that u are in peace whit god .fallow ur heart and logic.\n\nbut do not make a lie of ur live.

we actually cant...cause it seems that the only way to do it is by tellin the truth..and since nobody would do that ,,then we can't...and also because the responsibile people seem to worry only about their own welfare...the only thing we can do is to aware people and try to tell them what is really going on...

depends on what you mean by truth. I believe that the truth is actually a relative concept. if i believe soemthing to be true, then that is my truth. It's no better or worse than anybody else's. Some truths are so prevalent that trhey are almost a Truth (absolute). but all we experience is necessarily filtered by our own choices and beliefs and that goes for everyone alive. so even these almost absolute thruths can be as misguided as my own private truths.\nmy truth and yours are definitely out there, if you care to look for it. the Truth, however, is not.

Excellent point.  I guess we all want confirmation and support even if it's wrong because we always feel better in a crowd that believes the same as we do.  That's why as good answer-ers we need to be honest in most cases.  Our honesty may hurt at first, but we may really help someone in the long run.  MY OPINION good question!

Great topic!\n\nI am amazed that there are so many adults who do not consider some of the things they say or do not say, as a lie. For instance: sometimes people make up stories and tell it for fun. It may be a hunting story, fishing story, etc. This is done as a fantasy. The important thing to remember is that if you tell the story...you and the others must identify it is not really true....or it is a lie. Another example of a lie people do not always admit as lying is...when someone states something they think is true and then discover later that it is not true. The person really should then rectify the situation and admit they said something and found out it was not the truth. When a purposeful untruth is told, it is an outright lie. It is meant to deceive. This leads to disappointing others, others never really belive you and they eventually stop trusting you.  Then the time may come and you may be telling the truth...but too late...others don't believe you even when you do tell the truth. Some people actually believe that the only way a lie is told is in that manner. Not true! You can lie with your actions. You may cause a person to believe something not true by acting a certain way. (Example; child breaks a vase and throws it out and pretends not to know anything about it.) A lie can be done by being silent. You may cause someone to believe something by saying nothing. (Example: a mother asks the children who broke a window, and all the children know, but no-one tellls anything).The cycle of lying usually continues when one lies. The next thing one knows is they lie to cover another lie and so on. Most intelligent people, know when someone is lying to them. It doesn't change anything...except the credibility of the one who lies. Another form of lying is not telling a complete truth. Any form of not telling a complete truth or an admission of a complete truth in words or actions is a lie. \nI honestly do not intentionally lie. However, about two weeks ago we had company and this person asked me something and I did not want to go into it so I lied. When the company left. my husband said to me ..."why did you lie?" I reallly had to stop and think about it. I am a woman of value. I work hard to practice what I believe in. I am an honest person. I try hard to use tact and not lie. I usually would reply to someone who asked a personal question that I did not feel like answering with something like...why do you ask? I usually try to find an answer that will not offend the other person, but will also allow me to keep my personal life personal without lying. Sometimes, I like everyone find myself in a place I don't like to be. I feel dirty or shamed when I do that. Long story short...I felt guilty and called the person up and explained it. No one is perfect. There is not a sole alive who has not told a lie at one time or another. I can honestly say I do not lie on a daily basis, but sometimes I do find myself bordering the ethical line. I want people to trust me, I strive to be honest and keep integrity....but it is a daily struggle to be in tune with complete and open honesty!

Humm good question. What really matters to me is truth, we're a truth challenged society, and I don't just mean the USA  I mean the global village. On dating sites we lie about who we are, let's not even talk about politicians  ( I think they have a second face surgically installed just  so they can tell untruths more convincingly) even to ourselves we can't tell the truth, we're so used to talking out of both sides of our head we don't know the truth from a lie any more. I don't think we need to be offensive with the truth but it seems these days that only Klansmen and Idiots feel free to be truthful about the way they feel (not that any of us want to hear it). But I think we all need to be more honest with ourselves and each other.

The book of Romans in the Christian bible answers this question pretty well. Humans were created with a natural sense that there is a God. But because of their rebellious nature against Him, they are alienated from Him in their hearts, minds, and consciences. So, being spiritually dead, they are blind to the truths about Him. Therefore, their corrupted minds invent false beliefs about Him. How do you know which one is right? It starts in the heart. Like I've said, it is the prideful and rebellious heart of human kind that is the problem. It is not impossible for you to know the truth, in fact it is so easy that it's heartbreaking that most people miss it. The only people who can find the truth are those who sincerly want it. I will give it to you, but I can't make you accept it. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He came to be put to death for your sins. You can't justify yourself before God because you, like all humans, are imperfect. What you can do(indeed the only thing you can do) is humble yourself before God and confess that you are a sinner worthy of death, but that you now believe that Jesus has taken your place and removed your sins and guilt forever, never to be brought up before God again. Ask the Lord Jesus to enter your heart and make it new. Then trust that you are pardoned by God and be at peace with Him. Do this and you will have your "evidence" in your own heart and mind and life.

It depends on how the truth is delivered.  If you are asked a direct question and omit details such as to give an impression opposite to the truth, then yes, it is a lie regardless of how much truth is in there.\n\nFor example, suppose you and your brother eat some of a cake that your mother was saving for later. Your mother asks "did you eat the cake?" and you reply "My brother ate the cake".\n\nThis is true, but implies you did not eat the cake.  Thus it is a lie.\n\nOn the other hand, you could answer "well, someone definitely ate the cake" and this would be an incomplete truth but not a lie. Someone did eat the cake, you just don't want to say who becuase it will get you into trouble.\n\nIncomplete truths aren't lies -- they require your friend to ask more explicit questions. However your friend might not be very happy if you avoid a complete answer -- and most intelligent people will recognize an evasion when they hear one.

True Christians are to seek truth, not unite over some untruth.  True Christians are united over the essentials. Some things do not matter, like the mode of baptism. Other secondary issues do matter, so people should seek out the truth and not just take someones word for it.
