Bible Note: Greetings Val! You asked: "How is that different from lying to protect my family? Its not." The answer is that one is specifically forbidden while the other is not. Scripture makes a distinction between murder and killing, but that is a topic for another discussion. :-) If being a legalist means that we have an obligation to take seriously the commands of God, then I confess to being one. :-) Dear Sister, the only point I have been trying to make is that the ends do not justify the means. It is never okay to sin! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
