1.3. Should We Lie For Christ?

One of the most challenging questions in seeking truth is understanding why Jesus worked within imperfect frameworks and whether we might, in some way, compromise factual truth to advance the Good News. Did Jesus know that some historical claims in the Torah were inaccurate, and if so, why did He not correct them? Was He simply working within what humans could comprehend, or did He choose to reference texts selectively, not relying on the Torah as a strict basis? One thing is clear: He did not delay His coming until every detail about humanity (like Adam and Eve) could be precisely known; otherwise, He would not have appeared until much later, perhaps even the modern era—yet Christianity itself enabled the social progress of the West.

Just as humanity needed a structured understanding of God to accept the Resurrection, Jesus appeared only after Judaism had matured and the prophets had testified about Him. He never criticized the Law itself nor corrected its scientific details. In following Him, we likewise avoid disrupting fellow Christians who have embraced a framework that satisfies their path to salvation. If God Himself used an imperfect Law to reveal Truth, we too should respect the lens through which others perceive it—even if it seems incomplete or inaccurate. Perhaps the Church approach on 'up to individual intrepretation' is good to keep it afloat.

Ultimately, we cannot know the answers without asking Jesus or His disciples directly. For now, the wisest approach is probably minimal referecencial explanation. He only quoted scriptures to show He is who Am. Or perhaps, this may be the very reason He said He was the Truth, to let the disciples build framework on top of His, consequently allowing some nonfactual truth at the time to get incorporated into the Truth related to the Trinity, until councils will eventually cancel the inaccurate derivatives.
