Alph Linstra's View Of Lying And Deception

37); the Bible is regarded as being inerrant, because it was created by God and God cannot lie and is incapable of lying. The authenticity of God’s word is stated several times throughout Scripture, and David proclaims that God’s word is error-free; to object the honesty of God’s word as being true is to challenge the claim of Christ (Cartwright & Hulshof, 2016, pp. 35-37).

It says, “For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws”. This verse means that breaking one law is the same thing as breaking all of them. Whether you murder or lie, it is still a sin. And breaking one sin and keeping the rest is like breaking all. God does not like this, and in fact, he hates (even though He’s a loving God) when people do not abide to His laws. Corrie, when trying to hide the Jews in her bedroom, lied to the police about the Jews. She also lied about having only one radio and the men under the table. I am not trying to say that Corrie is a bad person because she sinned a lot, I’m trying to point out that even though it would help lives, it was still breaking God’s commands.

I think that Jesus has set a good guide to help make the decision between right and wrong easier with The Ten Commandments. Here are some examples, you shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet. (The Ten Commandments)

Second: to offer that the Bible is true is to say that we can faith in its content; we believe it to be guide to our faith. We would have to embrace the notion that there are specific assertions about Gods faithfulness and how we should live our lives and reciprocate. These contentions may appear somewhat intricate, but recognizing its intricacies is a way not of evading commitment to the Bible 's truth however of fully addressing to the complex ways in which the Bible is true. Let’s contemplate the rapport between truth and meaning: the truth of a testimonial or a book hinges on what it means. Countless biblical scholars have worked for eons to scrutinize and appraise the text of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha, and the New Testament.

In Proverbs, it says 12:22, it says “The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.” So even in the Bible, it tells us that God detests lying and those who do not tell the truth. In every circumstance in the Bible where there is a liar, we can see how they reap the consequences. Next we must look at truth, in the Biblical aspect, even though we just saw one in the verse before, we’ll look at another, for the sake of clarity. Ephesians 4:25 says: “ Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.”

Truth-telling is an important issue within the nurse-patient relationship. Nurses make decisions on a daily basis regarding what information to tell patients. The specific issue in question is whether a nurse should abide by the Code of Ethics for Nurses by revealing the truth to the patient or refrain from telling the truth to the patient because they are respecting the wishes of the patient’s family. Nurses and health care professionals should always tell the truth to their patients unless the patient forgoes their rights to autonomy or cannot think for themselves. By providing the patient with the truth, they allow the patient to come to terms with their conditions and give them the options for further treatment.

His entire existence was built on lies, and that is why no one was faithful to him in the end, because he was never faithful to his nature as a human person, and focused on what other people had to say about

Firstly, what are God’s Laws? To me, I think that lying to spare the life of the innocent is not breaking God’s Laws. If a man asked you where you were hiding your (innocent) kids, the majority of people, if not everyone, would not give the man the correct answer, which is okay because that is protecting the life of innocent people from death. The same goes for killing. If killing for self-defense,

16 'You shall not go about [as] a talebearer among your people; nor shall you take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I [am] the LORD.

For centuries, Christians have been debating if it is ever right to lie. Their arguments all deal with a Christian’s interpretation of what the Bible has to say about the issue. The ninth commandment asserts “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (ESV Ex. 20.17). This seems fairly straight-forward: a person should never lie. However, the Bible also tells stories of men and women, who are considered people of faith, who have lied. The debate emerges when the question is asked, “In these instances, were these people right to lie?” I believe that it is never permissible to lie except when someone doesn't deserve the truth or doesn't expect the truth.

There are times, in the face of evil, when it is appropriate to break God’s laws. In the hiding place Corrie is faced with the option of lying to protect the innocent two times and chooses to lie even though it is breaking God’s law, and in Joshua 2 Rehab lied to protect Joshua and Caleb. I believe that in these situations it was okay to break God’s law.

A lie that is so easy to believe is that the end justifies the means. It is easy to justify lying and stealing if it is for a good cause. In Romans, Paul was accused of this idea “Let us do evil, that good may come?” (Romans 3:8), but before that he asks the question “if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say?” (Romans 3:5). To justify your wrongdoing because it resulted in something good makes it impossible to draw a line between right and wrong. It leaves you wondering “how shall God judge the world?” (Romans 3:6), because it undermines the laws the Lord has put in place. This idea makes it easy to tell yourself that sin is not sin. As the Bible says, “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh

All over Scripture, God is revealed as the God of truth, therefore requrieing that Christians walk in the truth. Specifically, the ninth of the ten commandments concerns our witness: “

It is said because of His holiness, he always actively speaks the truth to demonstrate this. (Towns 69) This can be seen in Romans 3:4 where Paul states, “By no means! Let God be true

George Washington is often noted for stating “I cannot tell a lie.” An old proverb says honesty is the best policy, I agree with being honest at all times. First, telling the truth is not only the right thing to do it makes me feel good about myself. Also telling the truth is what God tells me to do. People can tell the truth without hurting each other’s feelings. When someone asks something that might hurt their feelings just change the subject, or just ignore them. That way you have a better chance of not hurting someone’s feelings. Second, one lie leads to another I know that lying can make people lie again. I also know that from my brothers’ ex-wife, because she is the biggest liar in the world. My family, and I have to take everything that she says with a grain of salt. But, my mother and father has always taught me to always be truthful from the time I was old enough to know right from wrong. They have instilled in me that honesty is the best policy. I know by their examples that they have set before me, and I am grateful for them teaching me right from wrong. Last, being honest earns people my trust and respect, because they know my word is good and I am honest. After people have been around me they learn that I am honest. As can be seen, an old proverb said that honesty is the best policy, and I agree with being honest at all times.
