[QUOTE="~Anastasia~, post: 71994333, member: 343500"] Lying is always a sin. Christians should not be planning to do so or advising others to choose to do so. Telling others to sin is a sin. But I suppose they see no other way out of their moral dilemma. And perhaps not all understand this. There is much confusion in Christianity. The only time a person should lie is to prevent a much greater sin, such as to protect innocents from being killed. Even then it is still a sin, but it could be a greater sin to allow lives to be lost. Either way there will BE sin, so commit the lesser, most loving one, and repent in sorrow that it was necessary. God forgives. But doing so for convenience or personal gain cannot be justified, anymore than one can justify stealing for personal gain. [/QUOTE]
