You have a dilemma. When I was young around the age of 5-8 I used to lie similarly a lot. Thankfully I stopped.

i dont want to live like this anymore but am scared to face up to it

This is your main dilemma. You can either keep on the same path or face up to it. I one hundred percent suggest facing up to it. Even if you have to make the adrenaline of honesty your new "drug". Start small and take it one step at a time. You've done well in admitting your lying on here.

Most importantly you must believe on Jesus Christ for salvation. You're already condemned

John 3:18 King James Version

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

So lying won't make a difference.

Romans 5:8 King James Version
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

John 10:28 King James Version
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

You won't go to hell for lying. But it is a sin. One we should avoid. A dangerous one that can affect others lives. And if we continue in sin then we will get less "Rewards" in heaven. Granted no one knows what that means.

 

[Dave G.]

It's really simple, tell the truth. Sometimes the truth is so blatant it becomes it's own cause for attention. Not that that is a good reason but the truth is better than lies. Lies ultimately just end up making everyone realize you are unreliable.

It's the quality, not the quantity, Serenity River

I have done the exact opposite, in order to have love. I would tell all the truth about myself, supposing everyone would jump to share with me because I was being so honest.

But that does not get anyone to love us, either. Ones who know love are already loving you, whether you lie or tell the truth!!! And it is special to discover who these people are, so we can feed on their example and become love satisfied.

You can feel for others who desire to experience love. You are not the only one. But you might feel like you are some special case. This is a trick of loneliness and sin, isolating us and having us feel we have to do something to earn love.

But trust in Jesus. Jesus already totally cares for you. But this is our example, of how He expects us also to become loving . . . so we are always ready for love, with any person. Instead of trying to get loved, be ready to give love. And, like I mean, even if someone is not a really loving person, you be there for the person as his or her example, so the person can feed on your example and find out how to really love.

Hello Sister, you do not have to see a minister to BELIEVE God's WORD. You can have FORGIVENESS and freedom from your sins to walk with God right now this very second if you BELIEVE God's WORD to you!

Lying is a SIN that breaks God's 9th commandment of the 10 commandments *EXODUS 20:16. All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter the KINGDOM of HEAVEN because they reject the free GIFT of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23; HEBREWS 10:26-27.

All those who continue in known unrepentant sin will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

According to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) is the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNES *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172.

JESUS through his Spirit is calling you and convicting you through his Spirit. Go to him in repentance and confess your sin to him and BELIEVE his WORD to you *PROVERBS 28:13.

1 JOHN 1:9 [9], If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When are you forgiven? The very moment you BELIEVE what the WORD of GOD says it will do. Claim God's promise to you. If you come to God in repentance just as you are full of sin and BELIEVE his WORD he will make it so. WHEN you come to God in repentance, confessing your sins JESUS promises to FORGIVE you your sins and to CLEANSE you from it so you no longer have to continue in sin. It is up to you to BELIEVE his WORD. If you BELIEVE his WORD. God will give you the power to free you from your sins.

To ACCEPT JESUS simply means to CONTINUE in BELIEVING and FOLLOWING His WORD *JOHN 8:31-36; JOHN 3:16-21. It is the very Word of GOD (the Bible) that you do not know much of that will give you the POWER you need as you BELIEVE and FOLLOW it.

God bless.

I think whether we would say you were never saved in the first place, or your salvation wasn't genuine, or whether we would say you cannot continue in a state of salvation with willful repeated sin, I think most would answer, yes, you are going to hell if this continues. 6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. 7. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:6-8) We all fit in that list, some way.

However....! If you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior you will be cleansed from all that. Then you need to pray and begin to learn about him and have a relationship with Him. He will help you. IF you willing, He knows exactly what needs healing, exactly what you need to do to stop committing this sin. But He likes to be asked.

Sounds like the love you are looking for is unconditional love. That's the exact love God shed towards us when He bled for our sins at Calvary, unconditionally accepting all would call upon Him.

Hi sister you are not banned for being honest. People will love you here wheather you sin of do not sin. It is by far better to be honest and tell the truth and to follow God's WORD then to think you are following God while not doing what God wants you to do.

God bless.

Well you are not scared enough.

Revelation 21:8
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.'​

This puts liars on the same level as murderers and sexual deviants, and I don't know about you, but 'lake that burns with fire and sulfur' sounds like a very bad retirement plan.

You should be a lot more scared than you are.

Additionally, and this is just my opinion....

But when you lie to people to be liked, and not be boring..... You are boring, and not as many people as you think, like you.

There is nothing more boring, than a person who makes up stuff.

I have personally run into about 3 different people who lied constantly, to get people to like them. There's a guy where I work right now, and he makes up stuff constantly. He's not fooling anyone. We all know he's a crazy liar. Everyone does. Even the pagan workers around me, all say he lies constantly.

We're all nice to him... and maybe he thinks we're all fooled... no ones is. We all know he is full of it.

So I would wager, that unless you are exceptionally good at lying, and perhaps you are... but I bet many people you think you have fooled, all know you are lying.

Now I don't know what you need to do. I don't know if you need to go around to everyone, and just admit you were making stuff up... perhaps you need to talk to the pastor at your church about this, and pray to G-d for direction.

But no matter what you do.... no matter what.... You need to stop lying. NOW. No more. From here on, you need to be a "Woman of Truth". That's my advise. You need to write a sticky note that says "Woman of Truth" and put it on your mirror. You need to read that every morning and pray "G-d, make me a Woman of Truth".

DO IT.

What did Jesus say? Go and sin no more. Repent, receive His forgiveness ask for His help to change your thinking and your heart.

You know when you are lying ... make a rule for yourself as well and go by it ... think before you speak. The rule: I will not speak unless it is the truth.

With Gods help ... you can do it! ;o)

 

[FireDragon76]

I don't think your faith is fake or that you are going to hell. In fact that is a very damaging message. If you had no conscience, this lying would not bother you at all, but it clearly does. So you are basically a good person that has moral lapses, as we all are bound to do.

I would encourage you to seek counselling from a professional so you don't have such a harsh view of yourself.

 

[ChicanaRose]

my past was made up by me and my friends all think my past happened abuse didnt happen apart from my mothers mentally abusive to me and made me feel like dirt Am so sorry and i'd understand if am banned

Hi Lily. If there is a damage from the mental abuse that has shaped your pattern of lying, I think you should work that out with a counselor. There is nothing unreal about mental abuse, as it is still an abuse.

Don't stop lying because you are afraid of hell. Stop lying because you love God and want to honor Him.

God's answer for the sin in all of us is a replacement of our nature with His own. God made you to be His vessel in whom and through whom He communicates, not you, but Himself. When God is doing this in and through you, the lying will stop.

You won't get banned. People get banned for things like flaming and insulting others.
