Telling The Truth

Man spends the night with his mistress.

At dawn, man leaves mistress but puts powder on his hands.

Man comes home to his wife.

Wife opens the door and asks her husband:
"Where have you been?"

Husband replies:
"Honey, I have a confession to make: I spent the night with another woman."

Wife looks at him and says:
"Show me your hands."

Husband, whose hands were behind his back, shows his hands.

Wife angrily says:
"Don't lie to me, you spent the night playing billiards with your buddies again!"

Husband answers:
"No, honey. I'm telling the truth! I spent the night with another woman!"

Was the man telling the truth about what he did spending the night?
Was he lying about the other woman?
Did the man deceive his wife?

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
- Matthew 3:17

When God said that Jesus was His Son, did God tell the truth? If so, did God want us to believe Jesus is His Son or did He really mean that Jesus is merely playing the role of a son?

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
- Numbers 23:19
