''You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.''
What do those words mean?
Goodness is the true self. And the real truth can never lie.
Lying as murder ..is simply a metaphor pointing to the sense of a false self, aka the imposter, but goodness aka Jesus, is unconditional love had to die so that the imposter could take pole position in life. Already knowing the position was a fake position, a lie so to speak. That death was the ultimate sacrifice of goodness knowing the difference between the imposter and the true self.
