I am saying that Abraham was a human being, and susceptible to human fears and human frailties.
Abraham lied and asked his wife to perpetuate a lie in order to preserve his life. I am not judging him one way or another.
Most human beings would do the same under the same circumstances.
Here is what is written about lies in the Book of Revelations.
Revelation Chapter 21, Verses 6-8:
"And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, AND ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Revelations Chapter 22, Verses 13-15:
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, AND WHOSOEVER LOVETH AND MAKETH A LIE."
Are you one of those Mormons who believes that it is acceptable and honorable to 'Lie for the Lord'?
