Mentira
A mentira é condenada pela Bíblia como pecado grave. Deus é verdade, e quem mente se alinha com o pai da mentira. O cristão é chamado a falar a verdade em amor.
Deus odeia a mentira
Os lábios mentirosos são abominação para o Senhor. A Bíblia adverte que todo mentiroso terá parte no lago de fogo.
Lying lips are detestable to the Lord,
but faithful people are his delight.
But the cowards, faithless, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars — their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
The Lord hates six things;
in fact, seven are detestable to him:
arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that plots wicked schemes,
feet eager to run to evil,
a lying witness who gives false testimony,
and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old self with its practices
Falar a verdade
Despojai-vos da mentira e falai a verdade cada um com o próximo. Cristo é a verdade, e nos chama a ser testemunhas fiéis.
Therefore, putting away lying, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor,, because we are members of one another.
Jesus told him, "I amthe way,the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
You are of your father the devil,and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murdererfrom the beginningand does not stand in the truth,because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature,because he is a liar and the father of lies.
A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies perishes.
No one who acts deceitfully
will live in my palace;
the one who tells lies
will not be retained here to guide me. ,
Consequências da falsidade
A mentira destrói confiança e relacionamentos. As Escrituras alertam sobre os frutos amargos do engano e da falsidade.
Making a fortune through a lying tongue
is a vanishing mist, a pursuit of death. ,,
Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue, only a moment.
A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
You destroy those who tell lies;
the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people.
"Do not steal. Do not act deceptively or lie to one another.
