You're begging the question that lying is, de facto, a sin. Get rid of that a priori belief, and the problem goes away entirely. If it's not a sin, and you lie in order to, for example, protect the innocent, such as in the examples I gave, then you are not "doing evil that good may come," you...

Do not do evil that good may come of it. That's how you determine.

If that's the attitude you're going to take, then yeah, I guess so.

I didn't say that.

Three days without trucks. After that, store shelves run empty, products stop being made, and fuel stations run dry. A more methodical takedown of America has never been attempted.

Correct. This is just one example, of course.

For starters, lying in defense of the innocent seems to be fine, even worthy of rewards from God. Perhaps @Clete can come up with others?

Yes, that's why I'm here discussing it. If you're not here to discuss, then just leave already.

You're the one who asked: So I answered. Are you seriously unable to follow the discussion? And in doing so, He reaffirmed the death penalty, even for those who dishonor their father and mother. Get it? JESUS AFFIRMED THE DEATH PENALTY. You go against Him by saying we shouldn't put people...

A few examples.

Choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. Do not do evil that good may come of it. For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and...

What if he's about to kill someone in front of you, and you have a gun in your hand? You don't want that. His will is not being done. That's the entire point. God had shown mercy to adulterers before. Remember King David? Guess what, God never repealed the death penalty in order to show...

The rest of the world is still under the law. But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and...

Jesus supports capital punishment: He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’But you say, ‘Whoever...

Nope. And then someone wrote a book titled "88 reasons why the Rapture will be in 1988"... All 88 reasons were wrong. Nope. Israel is currently cut off, until the fulness of the Gentiles is reached.

Posted in a trucker discord I'm in. This takes the cake!

This is what happens when doctors can no longer reliably give medical advice because they have been compromised by politics.

"Rules for thee and not for me!"

Well we all know how that line of reasoning turned out... Multiple books, sometimes by the same author, giving reasons why Christ's return would be on a certain date, and all of those reasons (and books) being wrong. Which means not even that timeline is set in stone...

When/if they do so justly, yes. I am stating fact. Yes, hoping, you are. You go directly against God when you advocate that criminals guilty of capital crimes should not be put to death, because God said that such criminals ARE to be put to death, and that NOT doing so profanes Him. Thus...
