However, I have observed many who are quick to call one a liar when it is unjustified and false.  Seeing that lying is the intend to deceive, it seems to me that as far as I am concerned, I need to speak truth with my brothers and avoid lying.   Second, I would be wise to mind my own business and be slow to indict someone else of lying for the simple fact that I can’t judge the heart.  Since lying is the intent to deceive, “catching” someone in a lie could be an unjust and false conclusion on another person.  There are too many factors involved to think that we have this ability down to a science.  I have even heard people explain that liars don’t look someone in the eye.  Though there’s some evidence for this, it is not a sure thing.  Perhaps, you’d do better not trying to play God.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][kleo_button title=”Launch Project” style=”see-through” size=”lg”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row inner_container=”no” type=”color” bg_color=”#000000″ padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column][vc_images_carousel images=”741,740,739,737,736,734,733,735,728,731″ img_size=”300×140″ hide_pagination_control=”yes” min_items=”2″ max_items=”8″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row section_type=”footer” padding_top=”40px” border=”bottom”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
