The WHOLE Truth?

"Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"

In this day in age, how do you know someone is telling you the whole truth? Even I have to admit that it is easier to tell a half truth then the whole truth and nobody is the wiser. What if you had to do a lie detector if someone didn’t believe what you were saying and how reliable is that?

“The courts have long favored the Christian book of faith as the ultimate symbol of truth. For a Christian, to swear on it means that to tell anything other than the truth in testimony is a blasphemy and a sin before God that will be taken into account on Judgment Day. "

Of course, telling the truth is not the easiest course of action to follow. On the contrary, telling the truth is often difficult, and frequently places us in circumstances that are quite unpleasant.

From working with co workers to your boss…how far does it go? Keeping secrets (half truths) from your spouse. But sometimes I feel like I’m protecting my husband from what is REALLY going on in my mind. Because the TRUTH sometimes scared me. I real find I just want to go back to being innocent or naive…but now my eyes have been opened and I can’t seem to turn off the switch to forget what I don’t want to face!

Examples are easy to find!
