1 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | Morant61 | 207987 | ||
Greetings Val! You wrote: "I would think very little of a person who did not do all he could to protect the defenseless and innocent." This is the problem with situational ethics questions. An assumption is made that there is only one way to achieve the desired end. Do we want to protect innocent women and children from evil? Certainly! But, do we have to sin to accomplish this? No! Self-defense and/or defense of others is not a sin. If someone came into my house and tried to rape my family, they would meet two friends of mine - Smith and Wesson. :-) There is also an omnipotent God that we can depend upon to protect our families. Why would we have to resort to lying, cheating, or stealing? Do we really have so little trust in God that we would have to do things that God has specifically command us not to do? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, Not every person has guns in their homes so plan B has to go into effect. Again, common sense is the order of the day. God is our judge. He sees the motives of the heart. Let's leave it to Him. Blessings, Val |
