but it's for fun na.

@OP,
Underline playing the lying games in your post. Are believers meant to lie? That is your answer.
Also ask yourself, what would Jesus have done?

@ORed-Light, I will be careful about condemnation as that is for God alone to justify.

@Ojjp, i believe you know the scripture that says 'every idle word will be judged'? Let us be careful.

Good morning Oj,

I really do not know what you tag 'a lie' but do you consider telling a story to someone e.g. a story about the 'tortoise and the palm tree', which obviously is not a true story, the same as telling a lie?

I don't know about you but I am of the opinion that there is a huge difference between telling a joke and lying. I believe 'fools day' has nothing to do with lying but rather it is a time to make some 'practical' jokes that is not meant to hurt anyone.


Thank you!

A joke that cause another harm is hardly a joke. Jokes are not sinful!
