Doug Wilson on June 08, 2006, Thurs. states, "But is it legitimate to lie to fellow<br>parishoners, citizens, family? No, not at all--it is breaking the ninth commandment."<br><br>It's saddening that you have come to this state of unabashed deception. You would have you fellow citizens think you had no knowledge of your deception in<br> what constitutes nonprofit, nor would you have your parishoners know of your<br> fabrications concerning Terry Morin, a former parishoner of yours, and still<br> Christian in spite of that fact, thanks be to God only.<br><br>You're fond of using Rahab as an example to condone lying (situation ethics), but<br>Scripture never commended her (nor anyone else) for lying, but for her faith and trust in the Most High God. God is not double-minded. A sovereign, holy God<br>can accomplih His will without lies whether in peace or war. His very character is<br>Truth--"He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all
His ways are justice, A God<br>of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He" (Deuteronomy 32:4).<br>"Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth" (I John 17:17). "God is Spirit,<br>and those who worship Him most worship in spirit and truth" (John4:24). God<br>cannot lie "...in which it was impossible for God to lie,..." (Hebrews 6:18).<br>"...and that no lie is of the truth" (I John 2:21). An omniscient and all powerful<br> God can work around the deceit of man, but it's never commended. Beware, as<br> no man is indispensible to God.<br><br>Your postmillennial stand would have "you" as the annointed of God wielding the <br>sword, but this is contrary to Scripture once Christ came (and this is not <br>concerning civil government). See the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5.<br>Unscriptural forced conversion (contradictory terms) is not frowned upon by you. <br>The culture war you declare we're in would give you
even more unscriptural<br>justification to rationalize your lies.<br><br>Stay far from the "...useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw<br>yourself." (I Timothy 6:5) "But we have renounced the hidden things of shame,<br>not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by<br>manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience<br>in the sight of God." (II Corinthians 4:2)<br><br>Remember, beloved people, that your Adversary is the author of lies (John 8:44).<br>"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:..."(Philippians 2:5).<br>"...Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts."<br>(Zechariah 4:6)<br><br>Doug,--the Jews and the Gestapo, really your "courage" has been seen. The <br>time for honoring yourself will soon come to an end.<br>No truth, no strength, no
honor.<br><br><Scimitar><br><p> __________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around <br>http://mail.yahoo.com
