Are There Some Situations When it Is Okay to Lie?

We all understand that God does not want us to lie. But does that apply to ALL circumstances without any exceptions? Does God expect us to dutifully give criminals the truthful information about where our valuables are hidden, how to activate our credit cards, and how to burgle our homes, etc., simply because those criminals ask us these very questions at gunpoint? What about biblical examples of dealing with questions in dangerous situations? Examine this week's somewhat controversial 25 page Focus Article entitled "ARE THERE SOME SITUATIONS WHEN IT IS OKAY TO LIE?" for answers to these questions.

 

You have reached the Home Page for the writings of Frank W. Nelte. The articles and the information on this site are devoted to explaining and expounding the teachings of the Bible.

This website is organized into six main directories, each of which has a number of sub-directories. When you place your cursor over any of the six directory names you will see a drop-down menu with all the sub-directories under that particular main directory.

For first time visitors to my site I recommend that you read the information found in the two sub-directories named "MISSION STATEMENT" and "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS". Both of these are found under "GENERAL INFORMATION". The information in those two directories will let you know "where I am coming from" with all the articles presented in the other directories.

Most of the information made available on this site is contained under the three main directories "MAIN ARTICLE DIRECTORY", "THE CALENDAR" and "RESEARCH CENTER".

To communicate with us regarding requests and suggestions, go to the directory named "REQUESTS & SUGGESTIONS" for the correct email addresses to us.
