Aineo wrote:Judah had sex with a woman he thought was a prostitute; David lusted after Bathsheba and had Uriah murdered; Samson disobeyed God yet he still fulfilled his purpose on this earth. I can find examples of almost every sin that was committed by some Biblical icon. But if you want to stick with lies there is always Abraham who lied about Sarah being his wife.
Are you looking for a rationalization to lie?

Absolutely not!, however she had demonstrated that Gods forgiveness is towards all and is not limited to the nature of ones sin.
