What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church? [...] a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them.

What would it matter if, for the sake of the Christian Church, one were to tell a big lie?

What man, if he were God, would humble himself to lie in the feedbox of a donkey or to hang upon a cross?

I compare it with a lie, which like to a snowball, the longer it is rolled the greater it becomes.

If I had to refute all the other articles of the Jewish faith, I should be obliged to write against them as much and for as long a time as they have used for inventing their lies- that is, longer than two thousand years.

..Christ and his word can hardly be recognized because of the great vermin of human ordinances. However, let this suffice for the time being on their lies against doctrine or faith.

A lie is like a snow-ball; the longer it is rolled, the larger it is.
