To say that a lie is in the eye of the beholder is the same as saying that there is no such thing as absolute truth.

This is the primary lesson of the protestant "reformation:" each of us can interpret the Bible however we want and all the interpretations are true, even when they are mutually exclusive.

What's true for you is not necessarily true for me.

Yep, it’s the attitude that denies even the possibility of papal infallibility but adhering to a system which requires personal infallibility.

“To say that a lie is in the eye of the beholder is the same as saying that there is no such thing as absolute truth.”

Perhaps if we discussed TRUTH instead of calling others liars, and trust the readers of the thread to figure out any dishonesty on their own?

If I offer an interpretation of John 6, and someone disagrees with it, why can’t they disagree instead of calling me a liar, or even claiming on a recent thread that I had added verses when quoting John 6 (???)!

And at some point, I need to learn the patience and restraint to refuse to be baited. Those who know nothing but attack ultimately harm their side.
