There are several examples in the Bible where godly men lied and it was in the will of God. I would not hesitate to lie to the Nazis. Which would be worst a lie on my part or the murder of others? Of late I too have wonders about the meaning of the commandment to not bear false witness. I think it should probably he looked at in the context of lying in a court of justice.
Absolutely! I connect it to creating a world of justice, the emphasis not on what we are not supposed to do but the world the commandment is trying to create.
Yes..
Thanks!
Yes, it's only when we lie for our own gain or to create trouble for others is it wrong. To lie to protect and save lives is necessary.
It seems like many politicians have perfected the art of lying for gain, how can we fix this?
Yes, we also have the example of the midwives lying to Pharoah in Exodus to protect the male Hebrew children and God blessed them.
Amen!
Not lie if I don't absolutely have to. But I would like to heartless thugs of a heartless, godless regime to save people.
Thanks!
