GOD, THE
BIBLE AND LYING
Truth is a fundamental trait of
God's nature. God demands that His followers be truthful and sincere at all
times.
Hebrews 6:18
-- That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God
to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay
hold upon the hope set before us:
Satan is the father of lies.
John 8:44
-- Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he
speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Lying is a
trait of the wicked.
Psalm 58:3
--
Even from birth the wicked go astray;
from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.
Psalm 62:4
--They
fully intend to topple him (The righteous) from his lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.
Isaiah 59:4
-- No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case with
integrity. They rely on empty arguments and speak lies; they conceive
trouble and give birth to evil.
Proverbs 14:25
-- A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful.
Christians must abstain from lying.
Colossians 3:9
-- Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man
with his deeds.
1 John 2:21
-- I
have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know
it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Obdurate lying will have eternal consequences.
Revelation 21:27--
And there shall in no wise enter
into it (The New Jerusalem) any thing that defiles, neither whatsoever
works abomination, or makes
a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 22:15
-- For without
(The New Jerusalem) are dogs, and
sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever
loves and makes a lie.
