Bible Note: Greetings bowler! You cite a list of Scripture passages to defend lying. However, in each case, the passage is a narrative. The passage records what happened without discussing whether the actions were right or wrong. An old rule of Biblical interpretation is that one never bases doctrine on narrative passages. If we base our actions upon narrative passages alone, we could justify committing murder to get the woman we want, adultery, making idols to worship, and disobeying every single commandment of God. :-) Why is it so hard for us to trust God?
