Or is lying wrong, and only willful ignorance for Jesus permissible?

Lying is okay when converting people to Jesus. How else are you going to do it?

God made it clear throughout the Bible that the annointed in our government and all authority is to be respected, whether it is bill Clinton, our parents, etc. Jesus got money to pay his taxes. But, if the law is making you choose between what God has said in his commands, sometimes we must take a stand. Like the midwives that saved the babies that were ordered to be killed in Exodus. Or Rahab that hid the spies of the Lord.

Depends, doesn't it?
If you're asked whether you're hiding any Jews in your attic, what's the right thing to do?
Simply, the answer is to lie like a dog.
While we are told not to lie, the idea is that our lives should not be characterized as "liars," but as those who understand what's important and what isn't. Consideration for human life is much more important than telling a murderer that you don't have any Jews hiding in your house.

If its for the income enacting the classes of jesus( if the atheists come knocking and you're hiding religious human beings from being taken to dying camps). confident, its ok. God knows your condition and doing stable by utilizing doing undesirable is appropriate. mendacity to further the ideals, no it extremely is no longer ok. mendacity is subjective if the guy does not have self belief what he/she is saying is untrue then its no longer a lie.

Why would you lie for Jesus! That is the stupidest thing I can think of. I would surmise that your reference to "wilful ignorance" is just a cheap insult?

yes it is okay to lie for Jesus. When he was a carpenter he misquoted for some of his carpentry work .He told me about this and I told him to keep quiet about it because it might affect his ambition to be a travelling speaker

no it is not OK..... The mandate from Jesus (the Great Commission) was to go forth and preach the Good News.... Not to beat people to death with it...
