Bible Note: You make a good point. Your post provides an excellent example of what I have written in an earlier post: If a soldier lies to the enemy in the line of duty in order to protect the lives of himself or others, is he sinning? What do you all think is more urgent -- dying and taking pride in the fact that you didn't lie OR the survival of your fellow soldiers, civilians, or believers? Why would you feel obligated to tell the enemy everything you know? Also, the idea of sacrificing the lives of innocent women and children so you can boast of your sinlessnesss doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What has more value -- your pride in your rigid obedience to the letter of the law or the lives of innocent people? But it may be that common sense is not all that common. |
