As some say, "time heals", and perhaps with time, God is working to heal hearts scorned or misunderstandings to be tolerated. You are right, no matter how you look at it, praying and trusting in His answers is really the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is beyond heart- breaking. If one of those kids came out to you and asked if they were “ ugly”, would you tell them the truth or would you think of some kind of lie to tell them to spare their feelings.That’s the kind of lieing that I am speaking of.I’d rather break a Commandment Of Moses and go to Hell before I would break the heart of a child.That’s my solemn decision. You don't have to lie to not hurt a persons feelings when it come to looks, fashion, or any physical attributes or anything else for that matter. There are many things that can be said that are truthful, factual and will not hurt a persons feelings in such a way to permanently scar them in a bad way. They may even bring insight to the person instead of false encouragement, You just have to be caring enough to phrase your words carefully and they certainly don't don't need to be lies. And sometimes the truth hurts. But that kind of truth when taken in wisely can only strengthen a person Lies do more harm than good and teaches nothing but deception. And children may not always fully understand but they can pick up on what is deceptive. The handicapped child I am sure would rather have more respect towards someone who says to them, well what has happened to you is not an easy thing, but you are not alone getting something uneasy to have to cope with. Actually your condition can bring solutions if only we look for them. Also these struggles of life can build character and make you stronger and bring you closer to your relationship with God and your fellowman. There you can even begin to open up discussions on God Plan of Mercy and Grace through His only begotten son Christ Jesus. Lying is never a good thing, and don't underestimate peoples capacity of seeing through a person lies. Lies have no virtue. I am a direct person, I usually tell it like I see it. When i see something wrong I will not shy away from saying what I feel is wrong, and i would hope people would do the same to me. That is how we learn and can be corrected. And next to lying as being not a virtuous thing, is underhanded passive aggressiveness meant to offend or jab at a person or persons, that is Not how Christ would deal with a situation or person. I rather know who my enemies are than have a bunch of folks smiling at me with drawn knives in their backs. Ecclesiastes 7:1-14 -Wisdom for Life- A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume. And the day you die is better than the day you are born. 2 Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart. 3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. 4 A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time. 5 Better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. 6 A fool’s laughter is quickly gone, like thorns crackling in a fire. This also is meaningless. 7 Extortion turns wise people into fools, and bribes corrupt the heart. 8 Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride. 9 Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool. 10 Don’t long for “the good old days.” This is not wise. 11 Wisdom is even better when you have money. Both are a benefit as you go through life. 12 Wisdom and money can get you almost anything, but only wisdom can save your life. 13 Accept the way God does things, for who can straighten what he has made crooked? 14 Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God.

Blood Bought, you do not have to be fast on your feet, you can be even handicapped and God will still be able deliver you from your rebellious spirit, if you repent and ask His to deliver you (deliver us from ALL evil, Matthew 6:13: “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for Ever. Amen.”) ( willful rebellion comes from satan) If one repents and asks God through Christ for the sin of rebellion to be removed, God will do it and replace it with the spirit of obedience to His Word. As true born again Christians , we are to repent from our rebellion and humbly subject ourselves to obedience to His Word. And so saying some thing positive or encouraging without lying does not take one to be quick on their feet. It just takes them to be obedient to Gods Word. If we say we love God, and love His Word , we then also will be glad to most humbly follow and obey His Word. If we choose to keep rebellion instead of choosing obedience to His Word even though we know His Word and say we believe and love and have faith and are faithful His Word, then we lie to ourselves, as we are really choosing rebellion satanic witchcraft-unfaithfulness- over obedience to His Words of Truth Giving excuses for lying and other sinning saying its all covered under the blood, is not living in obedient to Gods Word, and Gods promises cannot be granted to someone willfully disobedient to God, So a person willfully doing such, is missing out on what Gods meant for true salvation with His blessing to to be. If someone says they are a christian and is willfully disobedient to God and His Word, the person is choosing to live in idolatry-disobedience, because they are saying they don't want to follow Gods Word but do their own thing. If a person who claims to be a christian continues willfully in doing their own thing instead of seeking to subject themselves humbly, daily to obey Gods Word, they are living in rebellion/opposition to Gods Word and Gods Word calls rebellion the same as witchcraft. 1 Samuel 15:23 KJV For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. l Christians are called to be ambassadors to His Word, that means to strive to be obedient to Gods Word and live a Christ like lifestyle that is apart from the living of this world. God has called those in Him to be shinning lights unto the world and carry the message of His Salvation daily. One cannot be a shinning light to others when they are willfully living in rebellion to Gods Word. Choosing to live in rebellion is choosing to live away from God Word and his plan of Salvation. A rebellious spirit needs to be repented of and delivered out of its evil stronghold in the person who claims to be christian but is willfully rebelling Gods Word. If we are truly following Christ Jesus and are born again in Him , we become willing vessels to be molded into His new creation. We become willing vessels by turning our willfulness into obedience to His Word. Philippians 2:12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Romans 13 13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

The psalms where written by David, Enclosed are some verses from the Psalms of what David had to say about lying. One among many from David: Psalm 119:29 From David Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me Your law! Bible Verses about Lying https://www.openbible.info/topics/ly Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. Proverbs 19:9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish. Psalm 101:7 No one who practices deceit shall dwell in My house; no one who utters lies shall continue before My eyes. Colossians 3:9-10 Do not lie to one another seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Proverbs 12:19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Luke 8:17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Ephesians 4:25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 1 John 2:4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, Exodus 20:16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Proverbs 19:5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Leviticus 19:11 “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another. Proverbs 24:28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips. Matthew 15:18-20 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.” Proverbs 21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death. Psalm 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. Proverbs 14:5 A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies. Psalm 109:2 ESV / 248 helpful votes For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Proverbs 26:18-19 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I am only joking!” Romans 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil do what is honorable in the sight of all with good. John 8:43-47 Christ Jesus said: Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear My word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.” Proverbs 13:5 The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace. Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. Proverbs 26:28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin. Revelation 21:7-8 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be My son. 1 John 4:1 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” 1 John 4:1-5 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Psalm 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began Psalm 119:163 I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love Your law. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Proverbs 12:5 The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. Luke 16:10 “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 1 Kings 22:21-23 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’ Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the Lord has declared disaster for you.” Luke 8:15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience. Zephaniah 3:13 Those who are left in Israel; they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.” Proverbs 17:7 Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince. Proverbs 19:22 What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar. Proverbs 14:25 A truthful witness saves lives, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful. Hosea 4:2 There is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Hebrews 6:18 So that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. Psalm 34:12-13 What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Ephesians 4:15-16 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Psalm 31:18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt. 1 Peter 3:10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; Jeremiah 23:32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord. Psalm 51:6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. Psalm 5:6 You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. Genesis 3:4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. Psalm 119:29 From David Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law! 1 Timothy 4:2 Through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, Proverbs 26:24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; Proverbs 11:1 A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight. Psalm 119:69 The insolent smear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep your precepts; John 3:16-21 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
