Titus: Absurdity

1. "God, that cannot lie" God, like George Washington (but unlike the author of Titus who falsely claims to be Paul), cannot tell a lie. 1:2

2. The people of Crete are "always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies." 1:12

3. Disregard "Jewish fables and commandments of men, that turn from the truth." Like most of the bible, maybe? 1:14

4. "The grace of God ... hath appeared to all men." At the time this statement was written, only a very small minority had seen or heard about Jesus. And still today there are those who have never heard his name. 2:11

5. "Not by works ... but ... by the washing ... of the Holy Ghost."
   People aren't saved by doing good things, but by the arbitrary decision of God. He decides who gets washed by the Holy Ghost and who doesn't. Hasa diga ebowai. 3:5

6. "Avoid ... genealogies." Like Gen.10, 1 Chr.1-9, and Lk.3? 3:9
