Back to List of Topics

This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.

Lying is generally the practice of telling falsehood. The Moral Law includes an injunction to not tell lies (Exodus 20:16, Leviticus 19:11, Deuteronomy 5:20), and the Civil Law prescribes civil penalty for lying while giving testimony (Deuteronomy 19:16-20). The Bible teaches that the devil is the father of lies (John 8:44), and that our God is the truth (John 14:6). This topic will cover passages relevant to the practice of lying, and an analysis of the practical applicability of said passages to Theonomic society.
