I agree, RC. Im saying a lie may not necessarily be a sin, but bearing false witness against someone is.

I wondered about this as a kid. At times dad would be on an oil rig job and mom would be called in to the hospital for a emergency as a surgical RN.
I would be left at home as a big kid to watch over 5 siblings. I would wonder if intruders were to break in and the kids scattered and hid and if i were asked if anyone else was in the house, i would sin by lying when i answered no, providing they got past my shotgun. grin

If i thought the Lord told me not to kill, i wouldnt be wringing a chickens neck. Id be forced to eat road killed deer.

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the left.

A Nation which leaves God behind is soon left behind.
