Hi house,could not sleep and I was in thought when a question came across my mind,just need answers please.

Is it a sin against God when you lie to defend yourself against armed robbers?,.E.g one is attacked at home and told to forward your phone and you lie that it was actually snached from you a day or few hours ago.

That isn't a lie but wisdom, Abraham, Isaac, even Paul did that in the Bible to save their skin and lives.

Abraham- Sarah is my sister.

Isaac- Rachel is my sister

Paul- Among the Jew, he said: I'm a Jewish, amongst the Romans he claimed being a Roman.

Desperate issues demand desperate decisions

I can't actually say that is lie or not but I know these are things u can say or do in life challenging situations.
For d poster above me, Abraham and Isaac actually lied because d fear of unknown but Apostle Paul did not lie he has a dual citizen, he was born in Tarsus a city under Roman empire, even then d Jews were under Roman empire.
