Deception by avoiding detection using concealment
by RS  admin@creationpie.com : 1024 x 640
1. Deception by avoiding detection using concealment
In his Sophistic Refutations, Aristotle states how concealment is used to avoid detection for the purposes of deception. This can be compared to what Jesus and Paul (and others) say in the Bible about false teachers.

In sermons (one-sided arguments not subject to cross-examination), some pastors "conceal" by cherry picking verses that support their "opinion" or "glory", omitting other verses for the purposes of "escaping detection" all for the "joy of deception".

Interestingly, Aristotle continues in what amounts to saying that deception is not usually done using false facts. So "fact checking" in the contemporary sense can in fact be a way to distract from or conceal other facts in order to avoid detection for the purposes of deception.
2. Sophistic refutations
Book: On Sophistic Refutations
Aristotle wrote a book called On Sophistic Refutations in which he detailed the "false reasoning" used by Sophists (from the Greek word for "wisdom") who would use invalid logic to convince others of ideas to make money for themselves. In English, "sophistic" logic or "false reasoning" is "sophistry".
One of the many types of invalid logic detailed by Aristotle was "eristic" reasoning. Paul uses that word often but it is often translated, without the "bad logic" connection, as "strife"

3. Competitive arguments
In his work Sophistic Refutations Aristotle writes about "competitive" (as in sports) "arguments": (underlining added).

Greek: ἡ γὰρ κρύψις ἐστὶ τοῦ λαθεῖν χάριν, τὸ δὲ λαθεῖν τῆς ἀπάτης.

English: for concealment is for the purpose of escaping detection, and escape from detection is for the purpose of deception. Loeb #400, p. 81.

The Greek here translated "purpose" means "favor" and is in the KJV (King James Version) often translated as "joy" as in "joy of deception".

Information sign More: A joyous thank you for the grace of a gaudy favor
4. Sermons
Have you ever heard a pastor say something like "God will not share his glory with anyone"? Soon after, the congregation is asked to "give glory to God" in some form of acclimation or proclamation.

Cherry pick 2In sermons (one-sided arguments not subject to cross-examination), some pastors "conceal" by cherry picking verses that support their "opinion" or "glory", omitting other verses for the purposes of "escaping detection" all for the "joy of deception" - which could be a reflexive self-deception.

6. Hidden
The ancient Greek word "κρυπτός" ≈ "hidden, secret" and is from the ancient Greek word "κρύπτω" ≈ "hide, cover" and whose meaning may have been influenced by the ancient Greek word "καλύπτω" ≈ "cover".

Some English words from the ancient Greek word "κρυπτός" ≈ "hidden, secret" include the following.
7. Strongs - hide
8. Usage - hide

11. Hidden in parables
Verse routeMatthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. [kjv]
Verse routeοπως πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντος ανοιξω εν παραβολαις το στομα μου ερευξομαι κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολης [gnt]
Verse routePsalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: [kjv]
Verse routeανοιξω εν παραβολαις το στομα μου φθεγξομαι προβληματα απ αρχης [lxx]

The "things" in the "parables" (or "proverbs") have been "hidden" (or "covered") and are, thereby, "secret". Jesus is talking in a secret code where nouns are replaced with other nouns - to be uncovered with their intended meaning using the codebook (supplied by the Bible and Jesus).

Verse routePsalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: [kjv]
Verse routeανοιξω εν παραβολαις το στομα μου φθεγξομαι προβληματα απ αρχης [lxx]

The Greek for "dark sayings" in the LXX (Septuagint) is the source of the English word "problems" as in something that is, literally, "seen before".

Another Greek word for "dark sayings" is the source of the English word "enigma" and related to the Greek word for "praise".

The Greek word for "problems" is sometimes translated as "riddle" (e.g., in the stories of Samson).

18. Matthew 13:44 Hidden in a field
Verse routeMatthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. [kjv]

*G2928 *18 κρύπτω (kroop'-to) : a primary verb; to conceal (properly, by covering):--hide (self), keep secret, secret(-ly).
The "treasure" is "hidden", found, and then "hidden" again before the selling and buying. The ancient Greek word "κρυπτός" ≈ "hidden, secret" and is from the ancient Greek word "κρύπτω" ≈ "hide, cover" and is the source of the English word "cryptography".

In kingdom parable 4, the woman hides or encrypts leaven (false doctrine) into meal (true doctrine).

20. Escape detection
The ancient Greek word "λαθεῖν" ≈ "escape detection, escape notice" which is the aorist active infinitive of "λανθάνω" ≈ "escape detection, escape notice". In context the words can mean "cause to forget".

Something that has "escaped detection" is often an "error" or "mistake". Note that in the field of software engineering, the definition of an error and a definition of a needed change have essentially the same definition.

That is, Jesus could not "escape detection". A fundamental part of "escaping deception" has to do with the definition of "information". That is, what is known and by whom is it know and at what time was it known. This is a fundamental part of statistics which is why the fields of informatics or computer science are closely related to the fields of statistics and data science.
