Lying

What is a lie? To lie is “to make a statement that one knows is false, especially with intent to deceive” (Webster’s). “In Scripture the word is used to designate all the ways in which men deny or alter the truth in word or deed…” (The New Unger's Bible Dictionary).

All lying is wrong and sinful. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” - Ex. 20:16 “Therefore, putting away lying, ‘Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,’ for we are members of one another” Eph. 4:25 “Do not lie to one another…” Col. 3:9

Biblical Examples of Good People Telling Lies Abraham - Gen. 12:11-19, 20:2 Sarah - Gen. 18:15 Isaac - Gen. 26:7-9 Jacob - Gen. 27:19-20, 24 Rahab - Joshua 2:4-6 David - 1 Sam. 21:2 Peter - Matt. 26:69-75

Biblical Examples of Good People Telling Lies The fact that goon men and women in the Bible sometimes told lies does not mean that lying is a good thing, or that God allows or endorses the practice of lying. Instead it should serve as a sober warning of the fact that good men and women can easily be overtaken in this sin.
