There is no benefit [to ourselves] in arguing [debating] on contentious issues, with people [who you know], are liars and covenant breakers.
They will tell you any lie, while they will protest how trustworthy and faithful they are.
All moslems.
Almost all politicians.
All John Smiths.
All greggery's.
All karnal's.
All brian's.
All long w/e's.
All barnacle's.
All buzzddidj's.
All mothra's.
I guess many of them would justify their open, public deceit towards others, as the legitimate condition of fighting [being in conflict with]
an enemy.

Quote:
The two most important characteristics which define the personality of an individual [imo];
1/ are we honest ?
2/ are we reliable ? ....[e.g. if we give someone an undertaking to do something, or to behave in a certain way, will we keep to the [verbal] agreement that we have made ?]
More than that, is superfluous, imo.
Putting your trust in a faithless [infidel-ity] liar is no worse than putting your trust in a treacherous 'false friend'.
Every follower of ISLAM.
Every betrayer.
Every covenant breaker.

Psalms 40:1
I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
