    A lie is something false said with the intention to deceive. When we lie, we are speaking Satan’s native language. It’s music to his ears. Speak the truth in Love. Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.

    A LYING TONGUE “The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.” (Proverbs 12:19) The tongue is one of the smallest organs of the body; a world of evil among the parts of the body, ...read more

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.
