All members of a group are liars, as stated by Cretans own prophet. Strange little item don't you think?

13That testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply, so that they may become sound in the faith,

Remember Titus belongs to the Pastoral letters, written presumably by a disciple of Paul between 90 C.E., and 140 C.E. |
