"LIE'S - TRUTH
OR
CONSEQUENCES" |
|
Joshua-2:3-6... |
'''There is no Death. Only a change
of worlds.''
Seattle Seatlh...''Suquamish Chief''
Goooood-Morning!...
Still 'nibbling' on those chocolate
bunnies?,..Well, put them aside,..Go
Grab that ''Cup O Joe''
ease yourself down into your
favorite recliner,.kick off those
slippers and put on those warm ''fuzzies!''
Sit back
and relax a spell while We Discuss a
''Great'' Topic asked by a
''Child.''...Is it 'O.K.' to
Lie?!...
''Hmmmmm''...Lie,..My goodness!...ME
Lie?...Certainly
Not!...Well,...maybe a ''Little
White Lie''....Naw!,..I know,..
Maybe I'll ''Stretch the Truth'' a
bit,..After all, Who is it going to
''Hurt?''
Guess the ''Kid'' got Me on that
one!...Lying,..Do We Lie for
''Gain'',..do We Lie to get out of a
''Sticky'' situation,
or Lie to ''Stretch the Truth'' in
Our Favor?...
First I'll go see what the
''Instruction Book'' the 'Bible'
says!...''Holy Crap!''...Ton's of
Passages covering it!,..Boy,
I feel Myself Dancing on a ''Hot Bed
of Coals'' on this
one!....O.K.,..Lets read a
couple!!...
2 John says..''No Lie is of the
Truth.''
Matthew-5:37...''Say a simple Yes I
will, or No I won't. Your word is
enough.To strengthen your promise
with a vow
shows that there is something
Wrong.''
Proverbs-11:22...''God delights in
those who keep their Promises, and
abhors those who don't.''
Proverbs-19:9...''A false witness
shall be punished and a Liar shall
be caught.''
How about ''Liar-Liar pants on
Fire!''...Best one ever!...
A Lie is a Lie is a Lie!..or is
it?!...Guess what I
''Found!''...Sometimes ''GOD'' in
His Wisdom gives Us a ''Break!''
Joshua-2:3-6...''The king of Jericho
sent this message to Rahab: 'Bring
out the men who came to you and
entered
your house, because they have come
to spy out the whole land.' But the
woman had taken the two
men and hidden them. She said, 'Yes,
the men came to me,but I did not
know where they had come
from. At dusk, when it was time to
close the city gate, the men left. I
don't know which way they
went. Go after them quickly. You may
catch up to them.' ( But she had
taken them up to the roof
and hidden them under the stalks of
flax she had laid out on the
roof.)''
Now!,..Christian theologians are
divided on this Subject..''Lying.''
Some say You should Never Lie,
But!..Events in
the Bible,..and even today,.Say like
the day's of the ''Holocaust'' when
Good People hid the Jew's to Save
their
Lives while ''Lying'' to the Nazi
Army, was an ''Ethical'' call...
While the Bible 'Does-Not' Condone
Lying for the sake of Lying, it does
Condone Lying to preserve a ''Higher
Moral
Imperative!''
Rahab, in order to Save the lives of
the two spies, Lied to ''Preserve''
their Mission as Directed by the
Lord...
We wouldn't Hesitate to Lie to save
Our Life or Our Family in a
Threat...
But!..to Lie to Deceive, and or
Cause Hurt or Injury to
another....Forget ''Dancing with the
Star's'',..You'll be part of
the ''New Show Down
Below''...'Dancing on the Coals with
Satan''..a Big Hit in Hell!
Bottom line,..I told the ''child''
it is not good to Lie,..Because You
will Always know what You did was
not a good thing,
and it will always bother You,..and
'GOD' sees it too and it 'Hurts His
Feeling's .''
Do ''Politicians Lie'' No,..They
call it ''Bending the Truth''..a
little!
White Lies?...Same ''Dance with the
Devil!''...
Reminds Me once,.a ''Nun'' was in
the food line at School Guarding the
tray of apples, so no one would
'snitch one'..
Who in their right mind wants to
'snitch' an
apple!..Anyway,..Me,..why I took a
cookie at the 'head' of the line,
tucked
it under the tray!...I was ''Slick''
or so I thought!...During the lunch,
the Nun said..Although I was
watching the ''apples'
GOD was Watching the Cookies!...It
didn't taste so good then,..I told
her a ''White Lie'' it was on the
floor so I ate it!
Needles to say,..My ''Knuckles'' had
a visit from the ''Ruler'' After I
went to the 'Head Nun!''...
DON'T LIE!..It will Hurt You
later,..Lies to Cover Lies,..Soon
You either ''Believe'' them,..or You
Forget where the
''Truth ended and the Lie Started!''
Hey!,..I 'm all ''tuckered out'' and
My ''Cup O' Joe'' is gone!...Ain't
'No Lie' there!..
I'll close with a Couple O'
Parables!...
''Don't let Prayer be Your last
recourse in time of need,...Make it
be Your First!''
''We see in part, GOD sees the
whole.''
''As the blossom can't tell what
becomes of its fragrance, We can't
tell what becomes of Our
Influence.''
Sherrie and I Pray each Day for All
of You,..Our Troops,..Our Great
Nation too!1
STOP!..Take a ''Ten-Second'' Prayer
break,...Let GOD know how You feel
straight up,..whether its Good or
Bad, ask Him
foe a little help or a ''Shot of
Faith'' if You need it,..I know I
do,..He'll Bless You for it...
May We the People Always be able to
say..''May God Bless America',..for
it is in ''GOD We Trust!..can I get
an ''AMEN/''
Pastor Frank the ''Preacher'' and
Sherrie...

HE LIVES
