Q: Why is it that some people find it so easy to be dishonest?
A: Because some people are natural-born liars.
†. Ps 58:3 . . The wicked are estranged from the womb; these who speak
lies go astray from birth.
That's an interesting statement. It's saying-- in so many words --that
although infants are too young to lie; they are born with a proclivity to lie,
and that's what makes them wicked because that proclivity to lie is in them
and will eventually have its way with them.
Q: So then, seeing as how liars are born that way; don't they have an
excuse?
A: Apparently not.
†. Rev 21:7-8 . . All liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire
and brimstone, which is the second death.
Q: What if liars reform and stop telling lies?
A: They can't. Dishonesty is natural to a liar. Asking a liar to stop fibbing is
like asking Canada Geese to stop flying south for the winter. They can't
stop: they have to fly south because it's in their nature to fly south.
†. Jer 13:23 . . Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
Then you also can do good who are accustomed to doing evil.
