Subject: is it ok to lie in certain cases |
Bible Note: Hi Cheri, It's sometimes so easy to get ourselves in a pickle when we let our emotions get involved in a very charged subject. We can speculate all day long about hypothetical situations, where, we may think we need to lie, in order to help someone; and, situations that none of us wishes to get into or wish someone els into that we or they would think they have to make such a choice, and come to the same end: God's word is infallible, and it says do not lie. As someone els said, "sometimes it is better to say nothing" :-) This place, SBF, is after all, a Bible study, and the Bible is quite clear on this. Shalom and God bless John |
