Mentira

Por Bíblia Online –

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.

22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight.

8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

16 There are six things which the LORD hates, seven which are an abomination to him:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and a man who sows discord among brothers.

9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature 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.

25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.

44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will perish.

7 I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.

Consequências da falsidade

A mentira destrói confiança e relacionamentos. As Escrituras alertam sobre os frutos amargos do engano e da falsidade.

6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.

19 Truthful lips endure for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

6 The boastful may not stand before thy eyes; thou hatest all evildoers.

11 "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.
