Hoo boy. Let's apply the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Jesus died: Sins were forgiven--> IMPORTANT: His main goal was to forgive original sin, which was the one sin we could not be cleaned of, no matter what. After his death, we could get into heaven- because if we were good of our own accord, original sin wouldn't hold us back. |

Uh no guys. I just explained why honesty isn't a required part of getting to heaven. And What I explained isn't being a luke-warm christian, is being a hypocritical one. but hey, is your sense of integrity worth an enternity of fire? |

1. honesty is the MAIN requirement. god knows what's in your heart. the whole doing-behind-the-back crap doesn't fly with him, being as he knows everything...
2. being a lukewarm christian is the exact same thing as being hypocritical. same principal.
3. so you're saying the only way I can get to heaven is to lie to... who? |

I thing what conradw was getting at was that even if he knows you're lying to him, he'll still forgive you. So what keeps you from lying? |

going to hell for one thing. if you ask god for forgiveness, but you want to do it again, you're not being sincere. |

Yeah, God's not stupid. So you ask him for forgiveness for lying. Do you really mean it? No. In the olden times for the jews, asking for forgiveness was a little more serious, because they would have to give a spotless lamb, undoubtedly worth a lot of money, for no gain, just to get their forgiveness. God will know if you mean it or not. If you just see forgiveness as a vending machine, then eventually you'll realize you're buying a generic brand, that's not the real thing. |

its not about fooling him either. Check it out: I have a tunnel to the moon in my garden. Did I lie? yes. Did you know I was lying? yes. Did you forgive me? I'm going to guess that you don't really think I've betrayed your trust by saying that. I went right out of my way to make sure that every point of my syllogism was accepted. And I was clearly told that lying is forgiven. So why isn't this lie forgiven? or is God's love conditional? |

I think you just want to live your life as you want, without any restraints, and get into heaven scott free. Ever heard the phrase, a life for a life? Jesus gave his life for you, and now you must take up his life. Did Jesus lie? No. In the end, it comes down to your heart. God will always forgive you, but only if you ask for it, and truly mean it, instead of those five second prayers, "oo i signed, forgive me, g'night." |

also God dosent want you to lie because sin seperates you from God both on earth and eternally (as the wages of sin is death) Also a life of sin will harm you personally and God wants you to have an abundant life-not one chained to sin-see we go by what God instructs in the bible as sin not entirely our own definitions and walking in this way things go better for us.-its for our own good Gods not like ooowww i caught you out ha! ha!na! na! now you get to bake in hell sucker... There is great freedom from bondage in Christ. |

But it is that lie that brings you closer to God! As a tv show recently phrased a related thing: "How dare he spoil my happy relationship, just because its based on a pile of lies?" Jesus gave his life for me. Now I've got to give my life for him. I have a problem with this. Apart from the fact that I didn't ask him to, were I at the scene, I would be morally obliged to stop him. To punish the innocent instead of the guilty is evil. If Jesus took my sin onto him and took God's wrath instead of me, that makes God a VERY unpleasant person. The philosophy of penal substitution is patently immoral |

No the lie didnt bring anyone closer to God but because of his Grace he gives you that which you do not deserver and because of his mercy he puts out his hand to you as you are dying in your own foolishness |
