Usage: The term "pseustés" is used in the New Testament to denote someone who speaks falsehoods, a deceiver, or one who is untruthful. It carries a strong moral implication, often used to describe those who are opposed to the truth of God and His Word. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, truthfulness was a valued virtue, and lying was seen as a vice. In Jewish culture, truth was deeply connected to the character of God, who is described as the God of truth. Therefore, being labeled a "liar" was a serious accusation, implying a fundamental opposition to God's nature and commandments.
