Subject: Is it always a sin to lie? |
Bible Note: Greetings WOS, I am not trying to twist your words. I am simply attempting to re-explain myself over again. I simply do not see what you are getting at by mentioning Jacob and Rebekah. Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps God knew beforehand that Jacob would deceive Isaac and Esau long before he was ever born, and chose to bless him anyway? If that is so, if God did, in fact, know that Jacob would deceive Isaac, but chose to bless him anyway, even choosing to rename him "Israel", then why did God do that instead of punishing him for his lie? --Makarios |
