re: #311 Belafon
Well, given that your segment ends with the statement that the condemnation is deserved, I would say that they have no excuse for lying for Jesus since the Bible has already told them that it’s not allowed.
Even Jesus lies in the New Testament.
[Jesus said] Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast. … But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. John 7:8-10
God puts lies in the mouths of his prophets.
1 Kings 22:22-23 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persude him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
I would think that if a proposition was true, you wouldn’t need to lie about it.
Liars for Jesus like David Barton also has a troubling past with speaking engagements with Christian Identity churches (Nazis). Barton’s works are widely read in churches, and more than just wingnut ones.
