>>Lying was not a 'sin' under the Law Covenant.<<

Lev 19:11
I am the LORD your God.

11 "'Do not steal.

"'Do not lie.

"'Do not deceive one another.

You know, I LOVE going through this with you, for you only serve to help me understand my Father... and my Lord... to an even greater degree. You have done what many of us, including me, have been taught to do, and that is misunderstand MOTIVE AND INTENT.

I urge you to look at the Hebrew rendering of this 'command'... and discern the INTENT. In truth, the command that we do not deal falsely with... adversely with... or trick or cheat... our brother.

So, let me ask you: your 'pretty' wife says, 'Pom, honey, am I fat?' (Sorry, Mrs. 'Pom, but my Lord is permitting me to make a point...) You, loving her dearly and LIKING how she looks... to YOU... say, "Oh, NO, dear... you're not fat!" But... IS she? Perhaps she is. Did you lie to her? To some you certainly many have. But in truth, 'Pom, what you DIDN'T do, was overstep Leviticus 19:11. Why? Because you stated what you did... OUT OF LOVE... and NOT out of an intent to DECEIVE. There was NO malice... or adversity... in your heart.

But now let's say, your next door neighbor has TICKED you off. And so, you go to HIS wife and say, "Hey, so what was John doin' at that bar with that 'honey' last night while you were working (knowing FULL well John was home working on his car because you SAW him, but you WANT to get him in trouble)? You have know DECEIVED John's wife, LIED on him... maliciously, adversely and out of hatred.

You see, this is one of the WONDERFUL things I love about learning ancient Hebrew from my Lord. He not only explains the TRUE word, but also the TRUE rendering... and intent.

What you... and MANY others... fail to understand, 'Pom... fail to SEE, is the SPIRITUALITY of what is 'written'. You see the 'letter' of the Law... but not the true 'spirit' of it. ANYTHING done in love... is NOT a sin... for there IS NO LAW... against love. Even lying in love. However... EVERYTHING done out of hatred and hypocrisy, even if not condemned by the Law... IS a sin. Thus, the ENTIRE Law Covenant was 'summed up' in that, along with loving God with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength... you MUST... LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR... AS YOURSELF.

In truth, I will be among the FIRST to 'rejoice', 'dear Pom... when you... and SO many other so-called 'christians'... get this. But you never will, unless you ask for... and receive... the 'eyesalve' of holy spirit from my Lord... that what WAS 'blind'... might gain 'sight'.

Peace to you!

Hi waiting, i'm fine, pretty good actually. Only been back on the net for a month or so...but i'm good. Got all that Religious voodoo nonsense out of my system. The only thing that worries me now is trying to get my damn golf game below 95.

Sure have missed your wit and sarcasm

Well thanks. But i think this board can do without some my dribble. I'm happy to stay in the background now, let the heavy-weights who know what they are talking about go for it. This board has sure moved on, its seems to have overtaken h20...

You show you know nothing about Hebrew syntax and context. Keep it up!

Well, so be it, then, dear 'Pom... you continue to follow various renderings use them to keep seeking that which is 'right'. I will, however, continue following the Lamb... and keep seeking that which is 'righteous'.

Peace to you.
