I think it is pretty plain how God feels about lying. The Bible is full of examples of what God has to say about it. One of the biggest reasons for the condition of the world today, is lying. It is a way of life for most people, just like breathing, they don't even have to think about it, they just lie because to them it seems like the truth.
A lie is a lie. There are no white lies, or big lies, or anywhere in between. In God's eyes they are all lies. They aren't funny as some people think, they are serious business, and they usually end up hurting someone, especially the one who is doing the lying. Eventually it will catch up with them and they will be found out.
Deceit, is deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth. Deception is a version of lying, but worse, because it is intended to deceive.
Lying is speaking falsely, and conveys a false impression or thought.
Dishonesty is another example of untruth.
As you can see lying in all of its forms can destroy people's lives in many ways. People are in jail, have all kinds of problems, and lead a life that is not what it could have been, because of lies. A final example would be, if you and your family where in a life or death situation. Someone says that they can save you, if you listen to them. Would you base your decision on a lie or would you want the truth?
We make decisions many times every day. We make decisions most often on what we hear other people say, whether they heard it on TV, in a newspaper, or people they know. Think about the many decisions you made, and how they turned out. You can probably figure out that the good decisions you made,, were based on truth. By the same token, most of your bad decisions were made based on bad information or out and out lies.
Whenever you speak to anyone about anything, remember that our Creator wants us to speak the truth. God loves and blesses the truth. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
