Lawyers are Liars (Just 99%)
By David J. Stewart
Luke 11:46, “Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne”
I try to give lawyers the benefit of the doubt, I really do; but I've just met too many that are the scum of the earth. When a lawyer says he'll call you, good luck. Lawyers are infamous for lying. Apparently, “it's all in a life's work,” says Michael Kinsley, who further states . . .
“If the average potential juror knew that lawyers actually take pride in not believing what they say it could wreck the whole system.”

In the movie, JURASSIC PARK, there's a reason why the audience heartily cheers when the tyrannosaurus eats the lawyer. I don't think Steven Spielberg likes lawyers.
I have nothing against lawyers. In fact, that's why lawyers are buried 10-feet deep, because deep down under their really not that bad. That's a joke, I think.
Someone recently said to me that “lawyers are liars.” Admittedly, many lawyers do lie; but some lawyers, I think, are honest. I thank God for both of them.
The legal profession has become evil to the core. Court cases are deliberately dragged on forever to make more money for system. The deceitfulness of sin is why lawyers have become hardened about lying and financially bilking people. It's business as usual. Lawyers are predators that prey upon people who are having a hard time. Jesus even pronounced a curse upon lawyers. Luke 11:46, "And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers." Lawyers don't do hardly any work, but steal massive amounts of money from their victims, even taking their home. Hell will be hot enough!
Thankfully, Jesus Christ is every born-again believer's attorney. 1st John 2:1 reads, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” The word “advocate” comes from the Greek word parakletos and means “an intercessor.” Hence, Jesus Christ is our defense attorney who intercedes for us in God's divine court. This is only made possible by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ (1st Peter 1:18,19). Isn't it nice to know that you'll be represented in eternity by an honest Attorney; instead of by some swine down here on earth. Lawyers are dirt bags with few exceptions.
1st Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” Many lawyers have a reputation for being greedy, harsh, rude, abrupt, insulting and short-tempered. God will judge them accordingly on Judgment Day. Matthew 7:2, “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” God will be a tyrant toward those lawyers who were tyrants.
In fact, Jesus said in Matthew 12:36 that all men will give account to God for EVERY WORD SPOKEN ... “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” If men will be judged by God for even the words they speak, then many lawyers have much to fear. When those lawyers stand before God, they will tremble in fear. Their day of reckoning is coming!
Lawyers seem to have their own code of ethics by which they live, which is nothing short of legalized crime; but the Word of God says in Matthew 7:12, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” I'll leave it at that.
"Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." —Isaiah 5:14
