1 | How are honesty and deception defined? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 27049 | ||
SeekingHelp, in general terms, both deception and lying carry with them the idea of intent. Honest failure to recall is not intentional. If the lapse of memory can be subsequently corrected, then it should be if the case calls for it. Without any more specific information than you have provided, I don't think anyone can give a more specific response than this. --Hank | ||||||
2 | How are honesty and deception defined? | Bible general Archive 1 | SeekingHelp | 27053 | ||
The prior evening, a question was asked regarding actions taken to address a particular issue. I provided all of the details pertaining to this issue, but I unknowingly because of the lapse in memory left out a detail which occured approximately 45 days prior. I was not able to correct the lapse in memory before the error was brought to light. This was (as deserved) perceived as being dishonest. I have not, in what I call a prior life, been 100 percent honest. I have seen the impact this has caused and I am very sorry for what I have done in the past. I have prayed to God and asked for his forgiveness but I am finding that while trying to do the right thing, my past is coming back to haunt me. | ||||||

Scripture ... Prov 12:20, Luke 8:15 ... SeekingHelp, As ponted out, both are from the heart. I don't think we can be honest unintentionally either. Both honesty and deception can be a habit. I commend you for asking God for forgiveness and I urge you to do the same to others. Searcher |
