I believe the commandment is about bearing false witness against another to hurt them, like in court, or to damage someone's reputation. What do you think?

What if someone asks you a personal question about yourself that is none of their business, and you don't own up to it and tell them the truth? Do we have to tell them? I remember Jesus avoided answering questions about Himself, by asking them to answer a trick question first.
Hi, 1st.CenturyLady: I'm learning NOT TO LIE FOR NO REASON. How are you? We are well. ALL Liars will not tarry IN HIS SIGHT. There are reasons for what He has said. For only His truth shall set you free.

Love, Walter

I personally disagree with that theological perspective that we are free of sin. I believe we are never free of sin. John 3 never says being born again frees you from sinning. You have no other option but to confess to God

1 John 1:8
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us
Did you know you are now using 1 John 1:8 as a license to sin? It is no longer "reckoning" yourself free from sin. Which verse are you going to live up, or down, to. Your verse is about mankind before confessing to Christ. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Only He can take away your sin once you repent, so you are cleansed of ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. Did you get that? ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. When you finally repent, you can actually feel a heaviness lift out of your body, and all your desire to commit lawless sin (breaking a commandment of God willfully) is gone.

To keep my privacy, I lied. But it was so hard to do. It was like having to shoot someone that was trying to shoot me. Even though that is self defense it is still not natural.

Your responding to an old post
I'm not here to have a theological debate
I told you what I would do
It's up to you to decide what to do
I wish you all the best with it

God bless

Interesting to consider the difference between "not to lie for no reason" and "not to lie for any reason".
I acn think of plenty of reasons to lie ... mostly to do with protecting other people.

I realized it was an old post. But when I read it I saw it as a license to sin. That's the first time I ever received that contradiction knowledge. Though I realize you don't want to engage, I hope you at least think about that. You are not the only one that has been taught that verse which contradicts the actual gospel. The Good News isn't freedom from punishment for sin, but freedom of SIN itself.

For the 3rd time I'm not wishing to debate you on this. I was mearly just saying what I would do. What you believe and want to do is totally up to you.

That verse does not say you have a license to sin, it says your are deceiving yourself if you think you are free from sinning.

You thought you were free from sinning.
You thought you were a perfect human.
You thought you could never make a mistake
Yet here you are, admitting you have sinned.
That says it all.

Now your tormented and distraught by your own sinful actions.
Yet your too stubborn and proud (a sin in itself) to pray to God for forgiveness.

I think you need to have a deep think about that instead of trying to argue about it

If you want to debate the matter of being sinless then please visit this thread that I created on that topic

After your born again do you think you will never sin again?

Hello markalan: I must account to my Saviour alone, since I surrounded all to Him, I know, NOW! He Did mean All! Didn't He? Or Am I missing something? Love, Walter

My goodness, I was agreeing with your analysis of 1 John 1:8 completely. I can only imagine what your reaction would've been if I'd disagreed!

Relax. I thought at first you were accusing me of lying, so I politely asked where I lied.
I even said please.

I wouldn't have minded if you had disagreed at all, 1stCenturyLady disagrees. People disagree on things all the time, I'm fine with that.

But being accused of lying is something that I do take personally and will directly ask someone where I have lied, which is all I did.

In the end I did suggested you were referring to that verse anyway.

I think you quite perceptively pointed out that 1st Century Lady may have even deceived herself. And how devastating self-deception is when you realize what you've done to yourself.

Sorry for the misunderstanding my friend.
God bless

Folks, see what happens when I confessed a sin? I get called names, when this OP is in itself a prayer to God for forgiveness, and an assumption I haven't already many times. I've been forgiven, yet this is a good subject for all of us to talk about, seeing both sides - that of the victim, and that of the perpetrator causing someone to sin.

Lying.
Any time you speak Knowing it is NOT True…
When the listener has an “expectation” Truth.

A listener, listening to a comedian, a joke, has no expectation it is “True”.

Lying occurs, because men Intentionally Speak “non truths”

And Because … intents spoken, and then unable to follow through with the “intent”…
Becomes a LIE.

And Because … a Truth spoken one Day… can have “circumstances” regarding the Truth… change, thus no longer a Truth.

Thus ALL men LIE, Because men are NOT all Knowing.

Thou shalt not LIE… is Not about “unforeseen s”, rather fully knowing you are Telling what is False.



Yes. and the TRUTH is, to say you are Not going to have THAT Conversation with them.



No.



Sure. Jesus ignored ANSWERING some times.



Not so much a “trick question”, rather a question they could not answer.

The Lord God is All knowing…
He reveals, according to what and when He wants men to know something…
Otherwise the “unknown (to men)”, is reserved unto the Lord God.

Deut. 29:
[29] The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Glory to God,
Taken
oh my near and oh my dear friend , many liars often beleive THEIR LIE as though it be TRUTH , even of GOD .
They do NOT realize they are lying they beleive they are speaking truth . Very often is that case as well .
Now some do lie on purpose even knowing they do lie . but many lie beleiving their lie is TRUTH .
And that , MY FRIEND is not only A FACT but FACT . many now beleive a lie and even beleive this lie
this real broad inclusive ecumeincal path IS OF GOD and leads TO GOD . BUT ITIS ONLY of satan
and is only preparing them all to merge as one under what ALL will believe is God , is love , is his plan for world peace
BUT IT BE ONLY of satan and that which is of anti christ . YET many think its true and is of GOD . That be a delusion .
