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.
Sfatayim (lips) of sheker are to’evah to Hashem,
but they that deal emunah (faithfully, truthfully) are His delight.
But for those of morech lev (cowardliness) and those without emunah (faith) and the ones having become vile and ratzchaniyot (murderers) and zonim (fornicators) and mekhashfim (sorcerers) and ovdei haelilim (idolaters) and all the shakranit (liars), their chelek will be in the Agam (Lake) burning with Eish (fire) and Gofrit (sulfur), which is HaMavet HaSheyni (the Second Death)."
These shesh (six) things doth Hashem hate;
indeed, shevah (seven) are an abomination unto His Nefesh;
Haughty eyes, a lashon sheker,
and hands guilty of shefach dahm naki,
A lev that deviseth wicked machshevot (plans),
raglayim that are swift in running to ra’ah,
An ed sheker that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth midanim (contention, strife, discords) among achim.
Do not speak sheker to one another, having disrobed from the Adam hakadmoni (old humanity) with his ma’asim (works),
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, disrobed from Sheker (Falsehood, Lying), let us say HaEmes, each one with his re’a (neighbor), because we are evarim (members) one of another.
Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, I am HaDerech, HaEmes, and HaChayyim. No one comes to HaAv except through me.
You are from the Av of you, HaSatan, and the ta’avot of your Av you want to do, for that one was a rotze’ach from Bereshis, and he has not taken a stand in HaEmes, because HaEmes is not in him. When he speaks the sheker, he speaks naturally, because he is a shakran (liar) and the av of it.
An ed shekarim (false witness) shall not go unpunished,
and he that speaketh kezavim (lies) shall perish.
He that worketh remiyyah (deceit)
shall not dwell within my bais;
he that speaketh shekarim (falsehoods, lies)
shall not continue in my presence.
Consequências da falsidade
A mentira destrói confiança e relacionamentos. As Escrituras alertam sobre os frutos amargos do engano e da falsidade.
The getting of otzarot by a lashon sheker
is hevel (vain, empty, meaningless) and fleeting
for them that seek mavet.
The lip of emes shall be established forever,
but a lashon sheker is but for a moment.
A lashon sheker hateth those that are crushed by it;
and a flattering peh (mouth) worketh ruin.
The holelim (arrogant) shall not stand in Thy sight;
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither speak sheker (falsehood, deception, lie) to another.
