Hi LGW, long time, no interact good to hear from you again.Goodness how is 1 Samuel 16 lying? There is no lie there at all. Samuel went to offer sacrifice just as God told him to do. He just did not tell Saul that he was also going to anoint David as King so there is no lie here at all. There is no justification for sin in all of the bible. Lying is a sin and to try and say that God is telling the prophet to lie is a misrepresentation of scripture.
I agree that it's not technically a lie. But it's not the whole truth, either.
Samuel isn't really going to Jesse to sacrifice, he's going to anoint a king. While he is there to anoint a king, he's going to sacrifice, yes.
So to relate it to the OP, we can stretch the "I don't know who" to its fullest sense. Does anyone really know themselves?
I think there's a scripture about The heart is more deceitful than anything else, who can know it?
