Lying Hurts

I wonder why people think that it's so necessary to lie to others... WHAT do they think it will accomplish??? Are they weak and just can't face the truth or just don't want to admit it?? Don't they realize it hurts the one they lie to??? Don't they take the other person into consideration AT ALL!!! Maybe the truth will hurt, but hearing the truth sets us free... It lets us know where we stand with someone, or in a situation... A lie gives false hope and I think that is so wrong... I would rather someone spit in my face, than to lie to me... YET those same people EXPECT YOU to be truthful to them... It sounds like a double standard to me... Which side of the fence post do I stand on???? Which side of the truth do I give???? I try with ALL my might to be honest with everyone that I know, and in all things and in all situations...When I have to tell someone the truth about something that I know will hurt them, I try to do it in a manner that lets them know, that it hurts me too... It does hurt me to have to tell the truth sometimes, but I don't want them to come back to me and say that I lied... I take what people tell me as truth, until I find out that I've been lied to... That kind of begans to whittle away my respect for them too... Maybe no one else experiences this kind of thing, but I sure do... From many different people, from many different walks of life... NO one it seems is immune to doing it... I hate IT !!!!! NO, I despise it... I worry about their walk with GOD... GOD says there will not be any liars in Heaven, what does he mean you think??? That they aren't saved, or will they just not be allowed in??? Quite a thought there????

Just my mussings today...

I like the title,

Lying Hurts. So true,

lying hurts others

but it hurts you too. :24:

I have heard people give excuses for lying, but the Bible is clear that God detests it. As believers we should stear clear of it at all costs.

I think, in reference to there being no liars in Heaven. I think he simply means that no one will lie in Heaven, not that liars will not go there. There is only one unforgivable sin, and it's not lying. :24:

The unforgivable sin is rejecting God, right? :24:

I think you're right... I just never had thought about that... I know there is only one unforgivable sin, and that is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost... Thanks for pointing that out for me tonight... Much appreciated... That perfect world that I've read somewhere else on here tonight... Praise GOD!!!!

Yes. Blasphemeing against the Holy Spirit, rejecting God, His son...It's heartbreaking when someone does that. Outright says they wish to have nothing to do with God or that He does not even exist. :emot-bulbman:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
