The trap of word

They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?( Mark 12:14)

The people who came to Jesus to find fault with Jesus began a question with a flattery word hiding their real intention behind. “Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.” There is nothing wrong in their word if we see this word only. However, the problem is who said and with what reason did it. The word from evil is nothing but a honeyed word and it cannot be truth.

One of the most famous Bible verse that is chosen for hanging on the wall of Christian’s home or their shop might be “Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.” (Job 8:7) If we read this word only there is nothing wrong. Rather it sounds as of imbuing with religious faith. But we have to see who said it and what for. This word was spoken by Job’s friend in order to criticize him.

Christians also say a likely story well. The pastors might be the top of them. It is not easy to distinguish whether the word is truth or not for the word has a religious form. Distinguishing man whether good or evil also is of course not easy matter. However, it also can be possible for the moment to reveal self should come regardless of ornamenting one’s word.

Those who speak a likely story or flattery people are mostly have gone through a special training course. The Pharisees and Herodians also the leaders group of those days. They rationalize themselves by word, catch a chance and furthermore do evil by word. The more such knowledge has the more destroys self and society. Be aware of the trap of word.
