Jesus did not shy away from being blunt when the situation warranted it. Remember he said to Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan" and when confronted by Pharisees he said " Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Those were not pulled punches.

Those were not pulled punches. Hardly not, AndrewC. It is not the nature of Truth, to "pull punches." Thank you so much for writing.
