Double Dealing
prodo/thv (Prodotes)
- a betrayer, traitor
I put backstabbers in the same league as murderers. That’s basically what they are: killers of good character and reputation. They undermine trust. They’re just dangerous.
Yet this kind of behavior is the favorite way of making Hollywood movies. Anything that stirs up strong emotions like murder, rape, and betrayal are famously rewarded in box office numbers. Do we, as a society, really need more examples on how bad this world is? Are we so “comfortable” with the subject that we’re numb to it? Are we expecting people to be like this?
I hope not.
The good news is, God will expose the wolf in sheep clothing. God knows what’s inside the heart, as Jesus did by identifying Judas. Jesus is all about the truth. Salvation is only through Him, so I must embrace the truth. I shall not betray anyone, that includes God.
They will betray their friends…
