1 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | Val | 208000 | ||
The same principle that you use "If someone came into my house and tried to rape my family, they would meet two friends of mine-Smith and Wesson :-). In the context of war and self defense. Picking up a gun would make one think that the end result of that could possible end in death of someone. If I am following you correctly you are saying you would kill someone to protect your family. If that right? You did say "Self-defense and/or defense of others is not a sin". So is there a commandment to not kill? Of course there is. But you would condemn me for using the same principle but in a different way, lying - to protect my family. Well, you will probably be questioned by the police and may if things don't go well end up facing a charge of murder. But you did it to protect your family, right? How is that different from lying to protect my family? Its not. Again I admonish you to use your common sense and quit trying to prove a point. No one said that lying or using a gun is the only way out. No one questioned the ability of God. No one ever said that. Your being a legalist now. Stop it. |

2 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | Morant61 | 208001 | ||
Greetings Val! You asked: "How is that different from lying to protect my family? Its not." The answer is that one is specifically forbidden while the other is not. Scripture makes a distinction between murder and killing, but that is a topic for another discussion. :-) If being a legalist means that we have an obligation to take seriously the commands of God, then I confess to being one. :-) Dear Sister, the only point I have been trying to make is that the ends do not justify the means. It is never okay to sin! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I rather lie. You'd rather kill. Self-defense. Humm. In my case no one died. In your case there's a body. Oh well and yours was the better way. Ok got it. End of discussion. | ||||||
