In The Old Testament and New Testament of the Bible both contain statements that God cannot lie and that lying is immoral (Num. 23:19, Hab. 2:3, Heb. 6:13–18). Nevertheless, there are examples of God deliberately causing enemies to become disorientated and confused, in order to provide victory (2 Thess. 2:11; 1 Kings 22:23; Ezek. 14:9):And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie (2 Thess. 2:11 NKJV) various passages of the Bible feature exchanges that assert lying is immoral and wrong but "Allowed?”(Prov. 6:16–19; Ps. 5:6), (Lev. 19:11; Prov. 14:5; Prov. 30:6; Zeph. 3:13), (Isa. 28:15; Dan. 11:27), most famously, in the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not bear false witness" (Ex. 20:2–17; Deut. 5:6–21); Ex. 23:1; Matt. 19:18; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20 a specific reference to perjury.In other passages feature exchanges where lying seems to be seen as acceptable in extreme circumstances involving life and death. However, most Christian philosophers would argue that lying is never acceptable, but that even those who are righteous in God's eyes sin sometimes. And in Old Testament accounts of lying include: The midwives lied about their inability to kill the Israelite children. (Ex. 1:15-21).Rehab lied to the king of Jericho about hiding the Hebrew spies (Josh. 2:4–5) and was not killed with those who were disobedient because of her faith (Heb. 11:31).Abraham instructed his wife, Sarah, to mislead the Egyptians and say that she is his sister (Gen. 12:10). Abraham's story was strictly true —Sarah was his half-sister— but intentionally misleading because it was designed to lead the Egyptians to believe that Sarah was not Abraham's wife for Abraham feared that they would kill him in order to take her, for she was very beautiful. In the New Testament, Jesus refers to the Devil as the father of lies (John 8:44) and Paul commands Christians "Do not lie to one another" (Col. 3:9; cf. Lev. 19:11).In the Day of Judgment, liars will be punished in the lake of fire. (Rev. 21:8; 21:27).The Qur’an: Says that God (Allah), knows the secrets of all peoples' hearts and when somebody lies.Therefore according to the Qur'an, God cannot be fooled by lies and those who lie not only destroy their souls but the lie will be destroyed by the truth. Liars will be called to account on the Day of Judgment and God will not guide them. In at least three different places, Quran 45:7; 51:10 and 52:11, the Qur'an indicates that liars will suffer. The following are particularly noted for punishment: idolaters (liars against God), liars who disunite believers, those who lie that all good things are for themselves, hypocrites, those who lie against God when invited to Islam or who treat God's signs as falsehoods.In Buddhism Lying is forbidden by the fourth of the Five Precepts, the fundamental ethical training rules for all Buddhists. "For a liar who has violated the one law of truthfulness who holds in scorn in the hereafter, there is no evil that he cannot do."In Paganism: In Gestaþáttr, one of the sections within the Eddaic poem Hávamál, Odin states that it is advisable, when dealing with "a false foe who lies," to tell lies oneself.
In Zoroastrianism: Zoroaster teaches that there are two powers in the universe; Asha, which is truth, order and that which is real, and Druj, which is "the Lie". Later on the Lie became personified as Angra Mainyu, a figure similar to the Christian Devil, who was portrayed as the eternal opponent of Ahura Mazda (God).
Well In conclusion I instead of being like most others my decision it that. It's the kind of person I want to be. The fact that I make in my little statement is to show mostly what I expect from myself without concern for others,To teach by showing an example I believe my way is best for me I always listen to others and see that things happen. So I insist upon myself that to be the best of humanity I can be for its me to teach as I am a father it's my duty And because it's me teaching I will do the best I can because it's me doing it. So Yes I believe and so I do leave you with this.
"Nothing is more important than our word, it truly is our only value"
I believe that! I know a couple (more if I'm being honest) of people who lie so much much that I wouldn't believe them if they were standing in 3" of water and told me their feet were wet. And they lie when it's not even necessary. They've lied so much in their lives, I think, that they couldn't tell the truth even if they wanted to.
