Do you think that your own self assessment (either way) is similar to others perceptions of you, by reference to the facts of the matter of you? Facts like being a liar, for example?
Well, yes, I think so. I don't know so, as no one can, but if I didn't believe I were one of the few I wouldn't speak as I do, now would I? And I've already said that the majority are disingenuous.
My assessment of myself is of course different from how others will assess me, depending on where they're at faith-wise. Those who are of God will hear me; those who are not will not. As the Scriptures say, "We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception." (1 John 4:6)
I don't know what you mean by "by reference to the facts of the matter to you?"
