Paul, in his zealot exaltation, admits and justifies, on Jesuitical principles, the preaching of falsehood, and feels really aggrieved that honest men should take exceptions to such mendacious propaganda:
"For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?" (Rom. 3.7)
In a spirit of good-humored naiveté he winks at the flock of Corinthians whom he has hooked into the fold, and admits that he had tricked them:
"Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. But be it so: ... nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile." (2 Cor. 12.15-16)

Was christianity founded on lies?

And he admits to the church of Corinth: "I robbed other churches ... to do you service" (2 Cor. 11.8).

Did Jesus teach to lie and steal?

I mean, it's no secret George is not the most "gay friendly" president but now he wants a constitutional amendment. How much would that help him ??? If this bill passes does that mean that the states which have civil union laws have to give them up? PS: Post what you think and be honest

Paul tells the story that on the way to Damascus with a detachment of men, there suddenly shined about him a light from heaven and Jesus spoke to him (Acts 9:3) and although his men heard a voice, they did not see anyone, and it was only Paul that heard Jesus speak words to him.
Later Paul changed his story, denying that his men heard anything at all, but instead, they only saw a great light shining around him (Acts 22:9). Perhaps he was afraid his men might have been questioned. Compare Acts 9:7 with Acts 22:9.

Did Paul's friends hear the voice, or did they not? Is this another lie or a politician spin? Acts 9:7 (KJV) "And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man." Acts 22:9 (KJV) "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me."

Paul allows lying as a method of spreading Christianity, citing Romans 3:7-8, 1 Corinthians 9:20-23, 2 Corinthians 12:16 as proof texts. In the passage in Romans, the context is the contrast of man's righteousness with God's, and nowhere does Paul say it is okay to lie. In fact, at the end of the passage, he condemns those who say it is okay to do evil so that good may come out of it. Read Romans 3:1-8 to get the full context.
Next is the Philippians passage, in which the context is not the use of dishonesty to spread the Christian message, but the motives behind one's preaching. Paul says that while some preach out of love and sincerity, others preach out of envy and rivalry with Paul, or selfish ambition. It is about this motivation that Paul says is unimportant, as long as the preaching gets done and the word is spread (Philippians 1:12-18).

Is Lying Ok to spread the word of God?

Can ANY Christian Justify his Doudle standards and blatant contradiction?

Paul wrote he would gladly become a servant of any and all in order to win them to Christ, “And unto the Jew I became as a Jew, that I may gain the Jews; to them that are under the law (the Torah), as under the law that I might gain them that are under the law; to them that are without law (the Gentiles), I might gain them that are without law; to the weak, I became weak that I may gain them” (l Corinthians 9:20-22). In Acts of the Apostles and Paul’s own letters, Paul shows that he was willing to distort the truth. “If through my lies God’s truth abounds to His glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?” (Romans 3:7) “In every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Jesus is proclaimed and in that I rejoice”. (Philippians 1:18) Sounds like a modern politician. He says whatever the people want to hear!

Can ANY Christian justify his metods?

How do you feel about this day? Not actually that anything truly bad will happen......But do you feel that these numbers are signifigant at all?? As people wake up and start going about their day, do you feel that we are possibly more prone to some type "accident" ....more so today than most days? Ive always been EXTREMELY superstitious about this number, are any of you feeling weird about it too?

What sort of reprocussions is this passage implying?

Is it referring to a Christian who has abandoned his faith?

Or a Christian who lets a sin take over his/her own life?

Or a Non-Christian who rejects Christ?

Check out the whole passage for reference.

"KIEV, Ukraine -- A lion killed a man who climbed into its enclosure at the Kiev zoo, police said Monday.

The lion attacked the 45-year-old Ukrainian late Sunday after he used a rope to climb down into an enclosure with four lions, said police spokesman Volodymyr Polishchuk.

Ukrainian TV channel NTN broadcast interviews with witnesses who said the man told them that he believed God would not allow the lions to hurt him."

A friend (who we're not that close to) mentioned her daughter's christening in conversation, then perhaps realising she hadn't invited us, hastily did so (suggesting the original invite got lost). We already said we're free on that day (so can't really say we've got plans), but don't really fancy going (as we don't know any of the other 120 guests).

Many terrorists praise Allah when they complete their dastardly deeds. Muslim Clerics declare jihad in the Mosques they preach from. Mohammed caracatures sparked riots all over the middleeast and europe. We are told these are the radicals, but is that really true. Doesnt it seem to be a zillion radical extremists?
