What about if we tell people that suicide is wrong, and murder is wrong? We stopped doing that a few decades ago.

Sounds like we need better alarm clock control laws.

Or maybe you're getting frustrated that I don't agree with you. If lies are sometimes good, then there should be no reason why God wouldn't sometimes lie to His people to bring about good. Psalm 84:11 KJV — For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing...

Why is that stupid? What would stop God from (good) lying to His people if lying is sometimes good?

Ok, then on to Rahab.

Why not? What if it's helpful in some way that you don't understand? "My ways are not your ways, etc." If lying is sometimes not evil, then what's the harm? You're acting like lying is always evil.

It Takes a Village (Idiot)

But not "lied to by the Spirit, wherever He may lie."

No problem. Just thought it odd to come across a comment about one of my threads. People are a bit overly sensitive sometimes.

Is that what scripture says? God described which death He was talking about here: Genesis 3:19 KJV — In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. If you say "the wages of sin...

I agree, but the Adam example was not as good as Cain.

You can't disrespect a teacher while you're at home in bed. Unless you homeschool.

No, that was an implied conditional. As was Hezekiah's impending death. Do you still think Titus 1:2 means "who cannot lie in this one particular way, but can lie in innumerable other ways"?

Adam sinned against a different law, one that was no longer in force after they left the Garden.

Ok, so you're taking the position that because the midwives were rewarded by God, and God has no part in lying, then they must not have lied?

And? How does that apply to the question of what a lie is?
