I will answer your question with a question.
The police will often lie to a suspect to get to the truth. Are they sinning?
Actually saying something that is not true, may not necessarily be a lie. (and I am not being facetious)
I would explain but I would like to see if you could figure out the answer.
Now my question:
Is typing on the web in bold and caps mean that you are yelling
Yes or no
One time long ago,I heard someone say something basically like you have said to me, so I asked God.
I said My God is there ever a good reason to ever tell a lie.
God said to me.
" Only when it is the truth ".
