Ken's comment on 2015-02-16 22:00:59:

By spreading peace, people are able to see Jesus in the lives of those who do so. A liar is one who is deceiving. Therefore, they do not know the way to Jesus. According to the bible, Jesus is the way,the truth, and the life. This is proof that the individual who is deceitful and evil in his ways must certainly be lost.
