ArchivedThe Devil the Father of all liesTruth by omission does not count, because it is still a lie by deception. You know what Jesus meant. Stop trying to play devil's advocate. It's sort of like when Jesus said "Let your yay be yay and your nay be nay." In other words, mean what you say. When we were small kids and we made a promise to someone and broke that promise, some of us probably said some foolish thing like "I had my fingers crossed." The pharisees would swear by the temple whenever they made a promise. But when they broke the promise, they would say something like, "Ahhhhh, but I did not swear by the gold of the temple." That is why Jesus rebuked them for swearing by the temple and not keeping their pomises, but they would not dear to swear by the gold of the temple. Jesus said, "which is greater, the gold which is in the temple, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?" (Matthew 23:17) |
