Sometimes like others I got to wonder was the bible was written to control people. On the other hand is it better to be safe than sorry ? Interesting verse about liars. That is a very harsh punishment for being a liar.
Revelation 21:8 (KJV) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Some good stuff on the importance of truthfulness to society at the link. For example:
"Truthtelling is essential for authentic communication to occur, and makes genuine interaction between people possible. That is, if truth were not expected, it would not be long before communication would entirely break down. Imagine what it would be like living in a society in which no one expected the truth. How could a person discern what is accurate and what is a falsehood? On what basis could a person make important decisions if there was no expectation of the truth? Life would be chaotic without the norm of honesty."
...and whoremongering because they'll be safe in their asbestos suits since know-nothing Trump's know-nothing EPA chief Scott Pruitt hasn't decided whether or not to fully ban asbestos. There is NO safe level of exposure to asbestos!! The hazards of asbestos exposure have been known since 1908 but Scott Pruitt must be a cum loudly graduate of JDU because, like JackDunphy always says, he wants to "wait until all the facts are known."
I've been lying all my life and I'm not even alive. I'm on my third incarnation so lying pays.
Got to lie people. The more you lie the less you are surprised by the liars. And since everyone I've ever known has been an absolute liar in denial it really helps me in keeping my had together. So no, lying is not a sin lying is blessing.
We know who the father of all lies is. Maybe that is why that verse in revelation was made.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Yes I know all these questions only open you up to more questioning.
