Truth or being truthful is something of us constantly struggle with despite the fact that we know God’s Position regarding this. Proverbs 6:16-17 says, “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him haughty eyes, a lying tongue<\/strong>, hands that shed innocent blood.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Some common ways Christians tell lies
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the ways our being economical with the truth can be termed lying:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The half-truth<\/strong>. This is simply you not telling the whole truth. The problem with this is that it leaves us conveying false impression. Abraham was guilty of half-truth when he said of Sarah, She\u2019s my sister. Although, it was true that she was his half-sister; nevertheless, he concealed the fact that she was also his wife.<\/li>
  2. The lie of omission<\/strong>. This tempts you to put up un-Christlike attitudes; such as keeping mute when a cashier gives you a higher amount as change. Or leaves an item off your bill. And you simply refuse to raise a finger to correct the situation.<\/li>
  3. The exaggeration.<\/strong> Sometimes, we stretch the truth a bit to make ourselves look better or worse than we really are. 1 Peter 3:10 says, For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.<\/span><\/li>
  4. The white lies and the little untruths that supposedly don\u2019t hurt anyone<\/strong>. A good example is when you could actually work, but because you have an engagement that’s really very important – you simply use a mild headache as an excuse to call in sick.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
