“"The Bible Is Full Of Lies!"”
Categories: Bible“The Bible Is Full Of Lies!”

Have you ever heard someone say that the Bible is full of lies? I have. Have you ever considered the fact that in a sense those who say this are right? Yes, the Bible records several lies that were told ….
For example, Satan lied when he told Eve that she could eat of the forbidden fruit and would “not surely die” (Gen. 3:4). Because of this and many other lies, Christ called Satan the “father” of lies (Jn. 8:44).
It is apparent that many prophets have lied through the years. Peter said “there were false prophets also among the people ...” (II Pet. 2:1). Yes, the words of the false prophets, the lies they told, are recorded in the Bible that we might hear and fear!
Ananias and Sapphira lied when they pretended to give all their money to the apostles to benefit the poor saints. They didn’t actually do that, though (Acts 5:1-11).
Hymenaeus and Philetus were guilty of lying to Christians when they told them “the resurrection is past already” (II Tim. 2:17-18).
Let us heed the warning of John who said that one who would deny that Jesus is the Christ “is a liar” (I Jn. 2:22).
Also, the apostle Peter lied when he said he did not know Christ (Matt. 26:74; Mk. 14:71).
Yes, the Bible records many who lied, but for all of the lies, we find God’s Truth is there to defeat and denounce each and every lie (Jn. 17:17; Heb. 6:18; Titus 1:2)! Don’t be guilty of lying. Rather, speak the truth with all (Eph. 4:25; Col. 3:9)!
