(y) That's part of my point. Your arguments work equally well for my viewpoint...that makes those arguments of little use for finding out the truth. I'm still looking forward to you actually correcting me in a way that makes sense. For all I know, you lie every time you speak, because it's ok...

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.

"The wages of sin is death" seems to fit well with "If you eat of that tree you will die." that makes it look like Paul is talking about the same kind of offense and the same kind of punishment as Moses (Gen 3). Jesus suffered the same thing, without deserving it. Everything fits. If any one of...

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Adam sinned against a different law, one that was no longer in force after they left the Garden.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