Acts 24

Paul got to face his accusers in the court of Felix, the governor, and defend himself. He gave a full account of his actions, restating his adherence to both Jewish law and the teachings of Jesus. He also pointed out that the ones accusing him had not actually witnessed him doing anything wrong and those who claimed to have been witnesses to his "crimes" were not present.

Paul defended himself without needing to resort to tricks or lies. He put together a well thought out argument and presented it eloquently before the court. Whether constructing an argument for legal purposes or to make a point to someone else, we should always rely on facts and sound logic rather than making things up or sowing confusion. If you can't make your point with the truth, rethink your position.
