God didn't "lie" to anybodDy
You make good points.
However, what do you make of this:
“And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet” (Ezekiel 14:9)

That applies to false prophets who end up suffering the consequences of their falsehoods.You make good points.

This forum is infected with Biblical illiteracy - and you're no different.
God didn't "lie" to anybodDy in 1 Kings 22:19-23 - ANYMORE than He -
- Allowed Satan to perform all manner of evil against His servant Job (Job 1:5-33).
- allowed Paul to be buffeted by a demon (2 Cor. 12:7) in order to strengthen him.
- Allows YOU to lie and cheat and commit ALL manner of sins.
God didn't DO any of these things.
He ALLOWS them to happen for the greater good.
God is SOVEREIGHN - He's not evil. God doesn't lie - NOR can Scripture contradict itself.
ONLY a Biblical illiterate like yourself would think so . . ..

That is one of the errors caused by the King James translation butchering Scripture.
Uh-hih.You wrote "God is SOVEREIGHN - He's not evil. God doesn't lie - NOR can Scripture contradict itself.

I bet that Wrangler can at least spell "sovereign" correctly!
When in doubt - go to the ORIGINAL languagees of Scripture.The ESV translation:
“And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet” (Ezekiel 14:9)
There’s no need to slander the KJV by default.
And there’s no need to quote the whole verse to make a point. The Apostles and prophets often times quoted snippets of scripture to teach.

You are neither an apostle nor a prophet.
You’re funny.
As if this means anything.
“Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?” (Jeremiah 29:27)
...............................The best translation is the one that brings you closer to God.
But NOT if it invents a different god, like the NWT.The best translation is the one that brings you closer to God.
I hate to break this to you but...
"those names or the tetragrammaton were completely removed and replaced with the words God or Lord."
And by whom and from where and when was the tetragrammaton removed?
No. I think you love to break this to me.
“And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.” (Matthew 13:57)
