Of course, he is the father of lies – the chief pathological liar (Jn. It should not be found among the children of God.ĭeceit is Satan’s weapon that he uses to trap man. It is also making a statement believed to be false, with the intention of getting another to accept it as true” (Primoratz 1984). One of the most widely accepted definition of lying is: “A lie is a statement made by one who does not believe it with the intention that someone else shall be led to believe it” (lsenberg 1973). The simple way to describe lie is to say it is any deliberate attempt to deceive through false statement. All of these are deceits of the devil to distract the children of God from living a perfect holy life. Some even give types of lies as holy lies and unholy lies. In the process of time, sin came in, and one of the simplest sins ever is “Lying.” Lie is a powerful determinant that distinguishes the saved from the unsaved. After the creation, He looked and saw that all was good. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. MEMORISE: Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds (Colossians 3:9) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.Īnd whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering įorbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.Īnd above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.Īnd let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body and be ye thankful. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds Īnd have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.īut now ye also put off all these anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:įor which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.įor ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
