1 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | Morant61 | 207953 | ||
Greetings Cheri! You wrote: " BUT if telling the truth would bring about the death of an innocent person - then unfortunatly the human person (you or myself) is put into a situation where whichever route we take is wrong and a sin. Where in God's Word does it say that it is wrong to tell the truth? Where in God's Word does it say that it is wrong to trust God? Do we really believe that God's arm is so short that He cannot save? I have been amazed as I have read many of these responses to this question that no one seems to believe that God is able to deliver except through our lies? We are called to be holy even as He is holy! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Shalom Tim, I'm bowing out of this discussion with this: if history ever repeats itself (and it does) where being a christian is against the law and punishable by death (and it could happen in our country) you have just told me that many here would turn in a brother/sister rather than lie. That's sad, and it sure isn't edifying to know that a member of God's family would turn another over to wicked evil. There is also nowhere in the bible that says it's OK to be complicit in the death of an innocent person. Cheri |

Hi Cheri, It's sometimes so easy to get ourselves in a pickle when we let our emotions get involved in a very charged subject. We can speculate all day long about hypothetical situations, where, we may think we need to lie, in order to help someone; and, situations that none of us wishes to get into or wish someone els into that we or they would think they have to make such a choice, and come to the same end: God's word is infallible, and it says do not lie. As someone els said, "sometimes it is better to say nothing" :-) This place, SBF, is after all, a Bible study, and the Bible is quite clear on this. Shalom and God bless John |
