And when did it come to the point of how godly I am. What direction are you actually going to? I never said I don't sin but I will never justify Sin. Sin is sin no matter how we try to categorize it. When Paul wrote Rom. 6, he didn't categorize sins from sins. Instead of lying to save people why don't you pray to that same God to deliver you miraculously, that is if you truly believe in him. Rev 21:8 make us to understand that all liars shall perish. There is never a godly sin and there would never be!

First, we have to realise that the word of God is inerrant. This means it is without errors or contradictions.
Any contradictions we encounter then must be as a result of misinterpretation or misunderstanding. If you truly believe the inerrancy of the scriptures, you will not argue it.
The Bible has records of people's good deeds and bad deeds. When Peter betrayed Christ, it was recorded. When he revealed Christ, it was also recorded. Now, you see, this is because the Bible is a honest book.
Think about it like this, suppose you are a bible character, and the events of your life are to be canonised, both the good deeds and your bad deeds would be recorded.
But does that license the readers of your account to commit the errors you committed which was overlooked? Certainly not.
Now, this is my point. Abraham had been called of God to come out of his native land, just like we have been called out of our sins. But he still wasn't getting it right in terms of his relationship with God. The Bible recorded him lying and even bedding his wife's maid. All these he did. To show God's rebuke for his former style of life, God said to him in Genesis 17:1, ' Walk before me and be perfect Abraham'. As far as God was concerned, he hasn't measured up to the standard. And so God was telling him to leave those his self efforts and come up higher to a point where he could relate with God more intimately. After that Genesis 17, we never read about Abraham lying again. What we see is a man who can now speak to God as a friend.
In the case of Rahab, she had never been a Jew. But she had faith in the God of the Jew, that when the opportunity came, she lied. That lie is symbolic. It was a lie to deny. She was denying her allegiance to the land where she had lived and done all sorts of atrocities. She was smart enough to think this way. What would she have gained if she didn't. She immediately asked that she be accepted when the Jews come to destroy the land. You too, what have you denied yourself of in order to gain eternal life.
If you have known Christ, why would you have to lie to protect yourself. Is the Christ you serve unable to save you? It is your faith in Him that will make you bold for Him.
That simple lie you tell in the face of difficulty can be a denial of Christ that you represent.

Say the truth and pray God should deliver you. Don't sight one ridiculous example to lie. God is a consuming fire, He doesn't care for persons

DoctorAlien:
It is never godly to sin. Sin is lawlessness, and it is never godly to be lawless. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Cor. 10:13 As far as we continue to try our very best to obey GOD through His strength, He will not allow temptations that we cannot withstand to overtake us.

That Rahab lied to protect the spies does not mean that GOD approved of her lies. Indelibly etched in the 10 Commandments is the injunction not to bear false witness. GOD is able to save those spies without Rahab's lies. The problem is that many Christians don't believe that GOD can save them when they choose to remain holy.

The Bible and the life of Jesus should be our only guide in this upward course of ours. It is never godly to go against GOD's command. Remember Uzzah and how he died trying to help GOD.

Recovery of assets looted by the elites, to be further relooted by the elites, while the poor masses unfortunately sheers on.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday urged a Federal High Court in Lagos to issue a bench warrant against Rashidi Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo State, for refusing to show up in court over a N4.7 billion money laundering charge instituted against him by the Commission.

Ladoja was scheduled for arraignment before the court yesterday alongside his ex-aide, Chief Waheed Akanbi, following his failure to quash the 10 counts charge preferred against him.

The former governor had through his former lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), appealed against the decision of a Federal High Court in Lagos which refused to quash the charge.

The appellate court in a judgment delivered by Justice Sidi Bage rejected the appeal and ordered the former governor to continue his trial at the lower court.

Justice Bage in his lead judgment had unanimously adopted by other two justices held that the EFCC had the power to prosecute under Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2004.

Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has described graduates of Nigerian public universities as brainless, saying they cannot communicate in English with the students of his private secondary school, the American University of Nigeria (AUN) Academy.

Abubakar, who spoke on Thursday evening in Yola during his birthday celebration organised by the management of AUN, said public universities graduates cannot fit into private industries due to their poor education and character.

“I was in the University of Zik in Akwa in Anambra State on Wednesday on the invitation of the university. There is no student in public universities that can speak English in an error-free manner like the head boy of my secondary, who just finished addressing us now.

“When the head boy of AUN Academy, Abdullahi Sani, started speaking, I was thinking it is one of the lecturers in AUN, but only for him to introduce himself as the head boy of AUN Academy,” he stated.

Atiku said his ambition to establish AUN was to ensure that Nigeria produced graduates of high quality, both in learning and character, at an affordable rate and avoid the stress of traveling to other countries in search of quality education.

He pointed out that only quality education could bring about technology development in any country in the world, not oil, gold or other mineral resources.

Atiku noted that a country that places emphasis on oil, instead of manpower development, is preparing to collapse, pointing out that quality education produces quality manpower that turns a country into a wealthy nation.

While addressing students of the Law Department, the former vice president restated that Nigeria would continue to move backward unless it is restructured to address the problems threatening its existing.

“When government set up the last constitutional conference, I sent my proposal to the conference and when the members received it, they all agree with the content and resolved to include it in their final report as part of their resolutions.
