What is a ruse? When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

☘️ ruse (roos).A clever, often devious means for achieving an end : trick, maneuver, bluff, artifice, contrivance, device, beguilement, feint, gambit, gimmick, ploy, ruse, shenanigan, sleight, stratagem, wile.

PROV 19:22 From a man’s greed comes his shame; rather be a poor man than a liar.

SIRACH 20:25 A liar’s way leads to dishonor, his shame remains ever with him.

JN 8:44 You belong to your father the devil and you willingly carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

1JN 1:10 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1JN 2:4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1JN 4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

SIRACH 15:11 Say not: “It was God’s doing that I fell away”; for what he hates he does not do.
