Bible Note: Unknowingly, we all "play with words" when we do not understand the question or have not fully formulated the answer in our mind. This comment was not intended to be personal. You misunderstand the whole thought of my post. I am not referencing "any" one specific incident. No, "it is not out of the will of God to defy a king that wants them to commit murder." Lying is... Perhaps my question needs clarifying. It is not the defiance of which I speak. It is the "method." Though the purpose was for good, the "lie" is still a sin; or, in the mind of the reader, does the reasoning justify the lie? So, what do you think concerning for instance, what the midwives should have done in the case of Moses? How "could" David have avoided his lies in 1 Sam 21, and come away with his life? Surely these lies could have been avoided without what appeared to be the inevitable consequence. I would sincerely like to hear the thoughts of many as to this original post. George |
