Love and Lying..




Hi Friends..
Today I was thinking about the Ten Commandments and something stood out to me that can change the course of the way that people think about sin. Take the Ten Commandments. If You sum them all up like in the new testament it all comes down to *Love*. If You Love Your Neighbor, Brother, Sister, there are some things that you cannot do to them. You can't kill them if you Love them. You can't steal from them. You can't commit Adultery with Your neighbor's Husband or Wife if You Love them. You can't lie against them or bear false witness. Which mean to tell lies about them or make up false truth about them, or "Bear false witness against them. In other word's if You Love, which is the greatest gift..then You won't break the commandments. I think one of the greatest evils that you can do to someone in lie about them. So below I have given You some scriptures on lying. I know that some have problems with their tongues, so I hope that the following scriptures will be a blessing to You.

What the Bible say's about lying: What will happen to liars?
Colossians 3:9 - Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices,
Colossians 3:10 - and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
Leviticus 19:12 "Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the Lord."
Proverbs 25:18 - Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbor.
Proverbs 14:5 - A truthful witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.
Proverbs 19:5 - A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free.
Proverbs 19:9 - A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish.
Proverbs 24:28 - Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, or use your lips to deceive.
Proverbs 12:19 - Truthful lips endure for ever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
Revelation 21:8 - But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulphur. This is the second death.
The NINTH Commandment - THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS (LIE)
