1 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | GeorJoy | 102315 | ||
Acts 5:4 is totally out of context with what my question. Key words in your note; "when left to themselves" So says scripture, but yours is more a statement than an answer. To lie, when good or a lack of evil will result, or not to lie? What of what "might" have happened to the infant Moses were it not for the lies of the midwives? And they were thereafter blessed! There is a biblical answer "which the Spirit will have provided." Geo |

Hi George, Exo 1:16 "When you do the office..." - WHEN Exo 1:16 "...and see them upon the stools..." - when the baby breaches. Because they feared God they may have just not "done their office". Thereby saving the children. "for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them." They waited until the birthing was over. The women weren't puny like the Egyptians and could birth without the midwives being there. A slap to the face of the king. Thus the blessing of the Lord. It doesn't say that they lied. Peace! |

You are playing with words my friend. Scripture teaches the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If they had not done their office, then they would be out of the will of God. I am sure that some of them did birth without the midwives, but not all. George |

Then I am at a loss why God would bless them. It is not out of the will of God to defy a king that wants them to commit murder. I should drop dead right now if I knowingly Play with the Word of God. "Scripture teaches the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Yes, and that is why this forum is here. So we can share and learn from one another. Peace to you! |

Unknowingly, we all "play with words" when we do not understand the question or have not fully formulated the answer in our mind. This comment was not intended to be personal. You misunderstand the whole thought of my post. I am not referencing "any" one specific incident. No, "it is not out of the will of God to defy a king that wants them to commit murder." Lying is... Perhaps my question needs clarifying. It is not the defiance of which I speak. It is the "method." Though the purpose was for good, the "lie" is still a sin; or, in the mind of the reader, does the reasoning justify the lie? So, what do you think concerning for instance, what the midwives should have done in the case of Moses? How "could" David have avoided his lies in 1 Sam 21, and come away with his life? Surely these lies could have been avoided without what appeared to be the inevitable consequence. I would sincerely like to hear the thoughts of many as to this original post. George |
