What is it called when you make a perplexing statement or question that has no true or single answer?

Such as; Sally Sandwitch-';You always lie!';


Bobby Indhara-';Yes, yes i do always lie.';





Now, if he always lies but told the truth about lieing then it would mean that he doesn't always lie which means that he lied about always lieing which means that he tells the truth, yet lied.





What is it called when something like the above happens?What is it called when you make a perplexing statement or question that has no true or single answer?
Its a paradox! :o)What is it called when you make a perplexing statement or question that has no true or single answer?
It is an enlightened undersatanding. Think about this, the more you know about god the more you understand you know nothing about god. It is a paradox of it's own, but there is an unsaid understanding in it. You have to be on the same level of understandingt to fully grasp it. The question said is something to make you wonder untill you reach a certain point to understand it. There is no true answer, except what you give it.
Normally it's called a paradox. Sometimes though the people making such statements wear funny clothes and symbols, and claim that questioning them is a sin. Then, it's called religion, and those who question are called heretics.
there is another name I came to reading about techniques in eastern philosophy where it keeps changing back and forth as u described but I can't recall either I hope someone gets it
paradox.
