A Bible Christian Who Believes wrote:
They post under false names, pseudo-names & are master "Identity Thieves" ! Yeah, well, I post under pseudonyms, also, but that is as close as I get to acting a part - and, even my pseudonyms are related to me in some way.As to "identity theft," I've decided not to be concerned about that. Protection of one's identity has made a lot of people a lot of $$$$$ and made for a paranoid people. My identity is in Christ - so, it can't be taken. Admitttedly, having lost my wallet with driver's license, check, and credit cards caused me a big headache, I survived - though, I'm not so sure someone else is not walking around with my name. |

When naming the BIG difference, I hope you are not excusing lies by non-liars. I HAVE observed that lying is a sin that easily besets (Hebrews 12:1). Thank you for reminding me what this thread is about, but continuing off-topic for this post, and in answer to your question. . . No, of course, lying is inexcusable, but we do it all the time, don't we? When we fail to correct error, or mis-state, or exaggerate, or are not willing to offend when someone asks a question - - Are we really answering truthfully? I think it is nearly impossible to be absolutely truthful. The work of the Holy Spirit convicts the heart of the believer so that what he once could do so easily, he is no longer able to do so. Now, you can get back to your subject of the thread. |

{MLJ quote}
.every man is a liar, and ...every man is out for himself. Is this a pessimistic view? It is a realistic view...A man will lie to satisfy his own lusts and desires." Yeah, BUT, there is a BIG difference in a liar and a person telling a lie. No liar will enter heaven. God is Truth, and if one is of God, he will be like his Father and speak truth. Satan is the father of lies, and his children take after him - they lie - it is who they are. Sounds like MLJ is describing the unregenerate. King David was a man after God's own heart, yet, his sin of lying about his relationship with Bathsheba was a point in time - a defining moment recorded in history - but, David was not a liar. Of course, he suffered the lingering consequences for the rest of his life, but it was not who King David was. So, the regenerate has a new heart and a new mind and a new spirit. The old has passed away. He is not who he was, and he is not who he will be, but he is being sanctified and made holy, right here, right now. |
