What group of people had a bad reputation as “liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons”? Who was given the task of preaching to them?
Answer: The people of the island of Crete (the Cretans) had a well-known reputation as being liars, evil beasts and lazy gluttons. Ouch! Paul sent young Titus to preach to these people, setting things in order in the churches and appointing elders. (Titus 1:4-13)
