Like the noted Yogi Berra once said about baseball.rbell said:your statistic is fascinating. I ran the numbers. 60% of the time it works every time.
Even more fascinating is this: A number of studies have shown that when the correct answer is given to a math problem, it is almost always right.
:laugh: :laugh:Half this game is ninety percent mental.
It was not a lie in the first place. There was no deceit or malice intended. No sin was committed. No apologies are necessary. He explained the situation. End of story. I think there are some people who would take the defintion of sin to include breathing air and watching a sunset. Some people need a hobby. Common sense goes a long way.His Blood Spoke My Name said:Don't mean to sound contrary, but the Lord convicted me of something years ago.
A lie is a lie whether intentional or not. If I say I am going to visit my pastor tomorrow, I mean to visit him. But suppose something happens that I am not able to? A stroke puts me in the hospital before I can visit. I have not intentionally lied, but my promise became a lie.
I believe that is why the Word of God tells us to say 'if the Lord wills...' when we say we are going to do something. When we say 'if the Lord wills...', it becomes 'lie insurance' if you know what I mean.
Now, BibleBoy has said he asked the Lord to forgive him and praise God, He is faithful to do just that. Even though it was an untruth and unintentional, it is just as if it never happened once Christ forgives.
'and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more against them'.
Praise the Lord!
I would suggest investing in a nice dictionary that defines what a lie is. Your definition is anything but.His Blood Spoke My Name said:Don't mean to sound contrary, but the Lord convicted me of something years ago.

His Blood Spoke My Name said:If one do a search on the queen of england, one would find that england recognizes her as Sovereign Queen. Yet, one can also see that there are some in england who do not bow to her, nor do they obey her.
Just because one is sovereign does not mean one is always obeyed.
His Blood Spoke My Name said:Snopes declares that the topic of the OP was false... which means it is not true. If something is not true, it is a lie.
BibleBoy did not know that it was false, but his not knowing it was false did not make it true... it was still a lie.
Not all lies are intentional.
Yes, but there is a distinction between a lie and a liar.His Blood Spoke My Name said:So, in other words, if I was unsaved and read in a book that Jesus' mother was married to 3 men before He was born, and I told someone that Jesus mother was married to three men before He was born I cannot have been lying because I did not know the truth?
Hogwash!
A lie is a lie whether one knows the truth or not.
Baptist Believer said:Yes, but there is a distinction between a lie and a liar.
You are not a liar if you simply repeat a lie because you yourself have been deceived.
A liar is one who intentionally tells an untruth or only tells the part of the truth that is intended to lead someone else to make a false conclusion.

Like I said...buy a dictionary :BangHead:A lie is a lie whether one lies intentionally or unintentionally.
...then you'll like thisit is funny. I looked up lie in my websters and found that webster says that a lie is a falsehood told for the purpose of deception.
I looked up falsehood and found that a falsehood is a lie.
So I can come to this conclusion by webster's logic.

I see you haven't bought that dictionary yet...His Blood Spoke My Name said:Killing is not murder?
Killing is murder whether one kills intentionally or unintentionally.
A falsehood is a lie whether intentional or unintentional.
Theft is stealing whether one takes something intentionally or unintentionally
Sin is sin no matter how one tries to justify it.
