Default Epimenides logic

Titus 1:12-13:

Quote:
1:12 εἶπέν τις ἐξ αὐτῶν ἴδιος αὐτῶν προφήτης Κρῆτες ἀεὶ ψεῦσται κακὰ θηρία γαστέρες ἀργαί 13 ἡ μαρτυρία αὕτη ἐστὶν ἀληθής δι' ἣν αἰτίαν ἔλεγχε αὐτοὺς ἀποτόμως ἵνα ὑγιαίνωσιν ἐν τῇ πίστει
All members of a group are liars, as stated by Cretans own prophet. Strange little item don't you think?

For creekster:

Quote:
12It was one of them, their very own prophet, who said,
‘Cretans are always liars, vicious brutes, lazy gluttons.’
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.
