=Equivocation= | |||
Equivocation is an informal logical fallacy. It is the misleading use of a term with more than one meaning or sense (by glossing over which meaning is intended at a particular time). It generally occurs with words or phrases that have multiple meanings. | |||
Example: | |||
:''It's so sad when people have known the truth, walked in it for years, and then they walk away from the truth.'' | |||
In this case, "truth" is used to refer to William Branham's message when, in fact, whether or not the message is truth is the issue that is being disputed. | |||
