Prv: Lying

[bcbsr]

LYING

Pr 26:28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

There's no mistake about it. If you lie to someone, even while flattering them, you are revealing that you hate them. (Something to think about before telling your kids about Santa Claus) And if someone lies to you, they show that they hate you. So we should learn to appreciate the truth even when it hurts.

The Old Testament Law states, "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another." Lev 19:11 And the New Testament says, "Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices." Col 3:9

Lying can come in many different forms. Slander and false accusations, misrepresenting what someone said or did, for example, are forms of lies. Affirming myths as fact is another form of lie. In many cases people lie "inadvertently" by not bothering to check out the facts. But those who love the truth, and love to tell the truth, will be diligent to make sure that what they affirm is actually true. Thus for example Paul praised the Bereans saying, "the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true" Acts 17:11

Even lying for good reasons: How many times do we hear exaggerations and plain lies told for the purpose of making a good point, or even for the purpose of making God look better than he does, to others?

Then there is lying to oneself! Staying the course is one thing, once the course is decided, but for pride's sake, or even because of laziness, to not acknowledge to oneself that one may be wrong, is a form of lying.

Many times someone is accusing or lying to me, I sense the ”Spirit of lie” or ”lying Spirit” I believe this is exactly what is called as ”discernment of Spirits”
