does anyone have the right to know? does someone have the right to know your checking account info? if not, then you can deny them the answer to their inquiry. if you were at war are you going to tell the enemy where you and your fellow solders are?
also who said the commandment said anything about lying? I don't see the thou shall not lie here
Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
so in the reality of it where does lying about one's own personal effects included here?
but the context of which the Lord speaks against lying:
Lev_6:2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
Lev 19:10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. 11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
hence to deceive for wicked reasons. but again anything that is personal no one has the right to know unless you see fit to reveal it.
as even in the case of the law God says here what is good and evil, hence one must discern what is for and against what God says is good and evil.
if some one asks you if the car they are buying from you is safe, your honesty is required, if the enemy in battle seeks info, your not obligated to give anything, even to deceive your enemy would serve.
I hope my last comment gave you a bit of an idea, I was just worried about what other people thought and i try to avoid doctors, I am not one to say myob though, and that's the way i sometimes get out of stuff by little lies, to me it's just another way, maybe it's a more polite way, instead of telling someone to "mind your own business", I am a lot more honest these days though. Interesting interpretation of those Bible verses though. But where does it say (quoting you) "but again anything that is personal no one has the right to know unless you see fit to reveal it." in the Bible, is it like Abraham lying and saying that's not my sister that's my wife, for his sister's protection? I don't remember whether if that was Abraham or not, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure someone has a clue here about what I'm talking about.
