No, no, no, I know God does not like lying. I am talking about the Big Ten. You know, Moses, mountain, carved in stone, etc. I believe the ninth of those was something about the first fruits are God's and the tenth is a ban on cheeseburgers.
And you want me to believe that too?

There are many here who would disagree with you, judging from how they're always letting us know they think we are violating the 9th commandment by lying.

Repeating a lie when it's intended to deceive is also a lie. Repeating a lie without intending to deceive is simply a statement.
They must think someone is lying ... what else is new?

:confused: So I no can haz cheezburgerz?
These guys are an excellent testimony to what can happen if you don't stay in Sunday school.

[Parents and lurkers, if you're ever planning to let your kids drop out of Sunday school, please read these posts first and see what can happen if you don't get a solid Biblical upbringing.]

I beg your pardon?

Sorry lets break it down
To Tell an untruth to deceive is a lie correct?
but is telling an untruth in a joke a lie?
or telling an untruth to troll a forum a lie?
how do you define if the untruth is "to deceive"?

Do you have a specific post in mind? if not, how about start your own thread?

For the record, I don't think telling an untruth in a joke is a lie; the joke itself should exonerate one from the charge of "lying."

Before we all go completely off-topic ...

Saying something that is untrue is not always a lie. It is only a lie when we say something is untrue with the intention of making other believe it are true.

It's both immoral and unscientific to make others think something is true when we know there is little to no evidence to support it - that is deceit. Thinking something is true when we admit there is little to no evidence to support it is not deceit. Whether it's acceptable for a scientist to regard something as true when there is no evidence is debateable.

----------------------------------------------

I'd also like to add that "belief", contrary to the way it is often used on CF, does NOT mean "To think something is true without having any evidence to support it". It simply means "To think something is true". Whether there is any evidence for thinking something it true is not part of the definition. Saying "I believe in evolution" would be perfectly valid, for example.

And AV16VET, do you really need a new post to answer every single reply? :p

You know I don't lie. That is the tenth commandment in the version carved in stone. If pressed I will give the verses.

Now the question is how do You define Lying?

A lie is an untruth, told with the intent to deceive.

You know I don't lie. That is the tenth commandment in the version carved in stone. If pressed I will give the verses.

but see he only has to be joking & he's covered.

PGP, if you have a better definition of "lie," let's hear it.

(I'm assuming this thread has exhausted its shelf life.)

How do you define the Ten Commandments? Were they the Ten Commandments carved in stone, brought down the mountain by Moses, and carried in the Ark of the Covenant, or were they merely the first ten of many laws given to the people of Israel? If the latter why stop at ten?

So a non-Biblical definition, how convenient.
You should see my definition of "Trinity!" It's a real work of art! :thumbsup:
That means you can define them to be almost anything.
If you have a better definition, let's hear it.
Usually when a paper is graded, the real answers are included. You just don't mark an answer "wrong," without giving the correct one.

Unless you're you, I guess.
