There Are Many Ways To Lie. Paul Uses The Word ...

"There are many ways to lie. Paul uses the word falsehood. That word covers a wider scope. When I say, ‘don’t lie‘, the first thing that would come to your mind is that you shouldn’t tell a lie; speak an untruth. But we can lie with a glance. We can lie by our silence. We can lie with a nod of the head or the shifting of the feet. We can lie by holding back information that another is not even aware he needs. And the thing that makes falsehood not only detestable but something that should be considered impossible, is that we have been joined spiritually to the One who cannot lie, and therefore for the Christian to be deceptive is contrary to the very nature that God has imparted to him."
