Subject: Is it always a sin to lie? |
Bible Note: Makarios, I spoke of Jacob only because you asked me to. You asked: “Was the fact that Moses lived to help deliver Israel from the Egyptians an example of misery, loss and judgment? Was Jacob not blessed by the Lord in Genesis 27? And can you find any mention in all of Genesis of Jacob being 'punished' for his lie?” I know God knew what would happen. But I’m confident that Jacob (Israel) was justified by faith and not any one act that he did and that yes, he was chosen by God long before he did any of those things. But again Makarios, Jacob, as well as the midwives concerning the Hebrew woman giving birth, were looked upon favorably because of their faith, in spite of what they did, not because of what they did. Since we now seem to be running in circles, can we agree to leave this debate? WOS |
