re: #303 Belafon

Jeffress is completely ignoring the part where God condemns entire nations.

He’s not ignoring it; he’s lying by omission. Lying for Jesus is right in the New Testament. It is baked into the core of Christianity.

Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?” Why not say — as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say — “Let us do evil that good may result?” Their condemnation is deserved.—Romans 3:7-8

Since then, two thousand years of Christian apologists have justified Lying for Jesus (or lying about others) to justify their actions to “win souls for Christ.”
