And this god, Zeus, was a liar. In fact, the residents came to be known as liars. The word kretizo meant to be a Cretan. And to be a Cretan was to be a liar. Their top poet, Epimenides, he writes himself, Cretans are always liars, vicious beasts, and lazy gluttons.

He was like the Marlboro man. Everybody knows what a Marlboro man is, and everybody knew what a Cretan man was, and a Cretan man ought not to be an elder in a church. Now, a man from Crete who was in Christ could be an elder of a church on the island of Crete, but he ought not be a Cretan about it.

And who Paul was quoting from was likely Epaminides, who was from the island of Crete. And Paul had quoted from Epaminides before in Acts chapter 17, when he was preaching at the Areopagus.

Now, that's no small piggy bank, of course. Then in 281 BC, Lysimachus was killed in battle. The general was killed and Philotyrus, who at this point was sitting on a mountain of silver inside of an impregnable fortress, did what any ambitious Greek officer in the fourth century would have done.

No, let me unpack that. So this quote is believed to be from a Cretan philosopher and poet named Epimenides. Epimenides from sixth century BC. So what Paul does, it's a tongue -in -cheek remark, right?

We talked a little bit about the island of Crete, the civilization, the advanced civilization that it was. It was a very civilized society, but it had fallen into a pretty bad moral state.
