Is there such a thing as a "righteous lie?"

[Lukamu]

What did God say about it?

God did not say that it was righteous. What do you think that he said about it?

The verse doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible, unless you can help locate them. Where does God call Rahab's lie "righteous"? (after you're finished with dinner, of course)

Not in James 2:25 where it says she was "justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way" because that passage doesn't include her lie. Not in Hebrews 11:31 where "by faith she did not perish because she had welcomed the spies" because that passage doesn't mention her lie either. The Bible doesn't say "Rahab's lie was righteous".

Here's one where you may have first-hand experience: "Does this outfit make me look fat?"

Hi,

Does this outfit make me look fat? If a person says that disingenuous set of words, which really mean, do you love me, then they are asking a person to respond to a lie, in the first place.

There is no such thing as fat, in that context, and single female ever asks that, she asks do you love me, or am I attractive to you.

Biblically, there seems to be no way to lie, and not upset or hurt God. If anyone here can find one, fine.

LOVE,

Hi,

Yes I would like to know also. In teasing to make people feel better, each time I do that, a lie is used to tell a nice truth. I am still using a lie.

LOVE,
