Why Do People Tell Lies? by Hebzi: 3:04am On Jan 19, 2007 |
why do people tell lies so easily and feel comfortable without seeing anything wrong with it?I don't think God is pleased with the frequency with which our lips give birth to lies. what makes you tell a lie so comfortably? |

Have you ever told a lie? What makes you tell one so comfortably? |

just saw your question.my post was not to make you think i am a puritan. i guess when i used to lie,i did so out of fear so that some wrong doing is not dicovered or punished somehow.i guess this is just one of the few resons why many people lie. |

That may well be one of the few reasons. In my dark days, I lied out of fear, frustration, fun, . . .or plain fury! Never knew it was so easy to live a transparently honest life before God and man - but thank God for His saving grace in the Lord Jesus Christ. |

Hebzi: Hebzi, was your post meant to sound so accusatory and presumptuous? Because it sounds like you assume that everyone here lies but u don't. what's your point? u doing a survey or u lookin for self help? |

I lied out of fear, truancy, when I needed something badly, to impress, and for varied other reasons. However, I have since learn't that lying is not good business because time is when one will tell one lie too many. But then, as shahan said, it takes the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to live a decent, transparent and honest lifestyle. I remain grateful to God for the blood of the lamb that washed me who was once a vain and vile offender. @trini girl, why do you take delight in reading meanings to simple and straight posts? And it does appear that you get offended easily, in which case you proceed to 'rain' abuses and go for such a person's jugular. As we say in Nigeria, your stance appears to be 'if you tarka me, I will daboh you' (Matt 5:46-48; 1Peter 3:10-12 is quite instructive for us christians) I no doubt realise, that this could raise your ire and earn me your now 'famous' counters. But then, |
