No problem at all, I just quoted the one scripture supposedly pertaining to the prophets regarding Jesus and Nazareth, however I still cant find that one its just in there, but that was where our Lord was conceived also (even though Mary and Joseph) come out of Nazareth and unto Bethlehem of Judaea where he was born and then when he was a young child Joseph fled with the both of them into Nazareth once again where he was brought up.

what's the real question in the (first question) ? (in other words - what is the question bout for you?)
next, where is it written that the true witness is concerning JUST cretans? -- they were notorious liars even among liars, and worse in more ways ; that was evidenced and witnessed by many (in the link above that was posted in a post you 'thanked' or 'liked').

Paul is quoting a Pagan poet who was a Cretan. That's the point of the quote. Its supposed to make a point about the human inability to understand.
Follow the logic:
If a Cretan says, "All Cretans are liars" we have 2 choices.
1. This Cretan is telling the truth, thus he is not a liar, and therefore has made a false statement.
2. This Cretan is lying, and in fact some Cretans are not liars, except for this one, and therefore he has made a false statement.
Read the context of Paul's usage of the Pagan's pronouncement and you will realize that Paul is calling his friend to remember that not all things are as they appear and to walk with his eyes open and not down cast.

The first was saying somethin admittedly in haste, concerning all men being liars, and second, a true witnesss that Paul agreed with that Cretans (specifically so) are always liars.
There are other things in the scriptures worded in a specific way that actually set up decent ground work for revelation, I try not to overthink it, that often ruins it. Although finding those two while looking at this is like coming out a little richer so these two will go into certain place where I can look at this again later.
