All right.
Now go ahead and pull out your Bibles
and turn to Genesis chapter two.
Those games will come read for us.
So I'll pass it off.
Genesis chapter number two.
And the Bible reads,
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
and all the hosts of them.
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made.
And He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it,
because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
Every plant of the field before it was in the earth,
and every herb of the field before it grew,
for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth,
and there was not a man to till the ground.
But there went up a mist from the earth,
and watered the whole face of the ground.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
And man became a living soul,
and the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden,
and there He put the man whom He had formed.
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight,
and good for food,
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden,
and from thence it was parted and became into four heads.
The name of the first is Pisan,
that is, it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah,
where there is gold.
And the gold of that land is good,
there is videlum and onyx stone,
and the name of the second river is Gihon,
the same as that that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
And the name of the third river is Hittikel,
that is, it which goeth toward the east of Assyria,
and the fourth river is Euphrates.
And the Lord God took the man,
and put him in the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
And the Lord God commanded the man,
saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat,
but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it,
for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
And the Lord God said,
It is not good that man should be alone,
I will make him and help meet for him.
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field,
and every fowl of the air,
and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them.
And whatsoever Adam called every living creature,
that was the name thereof.
And Adam gave names to all cattle,
and to the fowl of the air,
and to every beast of the field,
but for Adam there was not found and help meet for him.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
and he slept,
and he took one of his ribs,
and he closed up the flesh instead thereof.
And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man
made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said,
This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh.
She shall be called woman,
because she was taken out of man.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
and shall cleave unto his wife,
and they shall be one flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife,
and were not ashamed.
Let's pray.
Father God in heaven,
come up to the earth.
Give us your word.
For we will speak the word.
Give us the word.
We will dwell on the earth.
We will be one.
We will be left to death
and to come up to the earth.
Amen.
So the title of my sermon tonight is
Lies in the Bible.
So I want you to look down right there
in Genesis chapter number two, verse 15,
and it says this,
the Lord God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and
to keep it and the Lord commanded the man saying the baby tree of the garden
that may freely eat but in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou
shall not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Now let me ask you this, does it say anything about touching it and they'll
die? No. It's clear. If they eat they will die. Just remember that. Let's keep
reading verse number 18 and the Lord God said it is not good that the man
should be alone I will make him a help me for him and out of the ground the
Lord God formed every beast of the field and they followed the air and brought
them unto Adam to see what he will call them and whatsoever Adam called every
living creature that was the name thereof and Adam gave names to all cattle
to the father of the air and to every beast of the field but for Adam they
was not found a help me for him. So let me ask you this, when God said that thou
should not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Was he talking to Adam? Adam and Eve? Or was he talking to Eve? He was talking to
Adam. Eve was not alive yet. She was not created yet amen. How do we know? Because
it says before Adam there was not found a help me for him. Meaning that he didn't
have a woman to help him out. He didn't have a wife and we'll find out in a
second that that's true. Verse number 21 and the Lord God caused a deep sleep to
fall upon Adam and he slept and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh
instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a
woman. So once again when he said don't eat don't eat he was talking to Adam. He
was not talking to both of them. He was talking to Adam and then Eve comes later
she comes right here in verse 22 where it says he took the rib and God made a
woman and brought her onto the man and it even says and Adam said this is
now bone on my bone and flesh on my flesh she shall be called woman because
she was taken out of men. Therefore shall the man leave his father and his mother
and shall cleave unto his wife and there shall be one flesh and they were both
naked the man and his wife and they were not ashamed. Why? Because not a shameful
thing you know for a man and his wife to be in that situation. You know but the
verse that I want you to see in verse 2 that it clearly says but at the tree of
the knowledge of getting evil thou shall not eat of it for in the day that thou
eatest thereof thou shall surely die. Just wanted to bring that up again. Now go to
the next chapter Genesis chapter number 3. Go to Genesis chapter number 3 just
flip the page or if you're right there because you got one of those Bibles has
tiny print and you can have like five you know chapters in one page praise the
Lord you got great eyesight amen. But for us old folks with a big giant print we
can probably just have one chapter per page amen and there's nothing wrong with
that. Genesis chapter number 3 verse 1 says this now the serpent that's Satan
now the serpent was more subtle than the beasts of the field which the Lord God
had made and he said unto the woman yea have God said he shall not eat of every
tree of the garden and look what he says and the woman said unto the serpent we
may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden but of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst of the garden God she's saying God has said ye shall not
eat of it which is a hundred percent true but look at this part neither shall
ye touch it lest ye die now did we see that in chapter 2 no we did not see that
in chapter 2 but let's keep reading verse number 4 and the serpent said unto
the woman ye shall not surely die now that is a flat-out lie because we know
that God said thou shall surely die but it says in verse 5 for God does know
that in a day ye eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as
God's knowing good and evil once again let me remind you what we found in verse
17 from chapter 2 but at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shall
not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest it of thou shall surely die but
what did he say you should not eat of it neither shall ye touch it lest ye die I
don't think I said anything about touching it and we'll find out why now
here's the thing this is what I think this is what I right now think based on
the verses we're about to read I don't think I'd ever said anything about
touching it I don't know where that came from I don't know if Adam was just being
overprotective and he said God doesn't want us to eat of it as a matter of fact
don't even touch it and then she interpreted that as God said it I don't
know maybe that's how it went down I don't know maybe she made it up maybe
she felt like well if God doesn't want us to eat it surely he doesn't want us
to touch it and maybe she just thought that's what God meant maybe she came up
with it I don't think Satan taught it to her because she's telling it to Satan
like it's the first time he's ever heard it but let's just keep reading really
quickly and the thing is this if I'm right I ended up googling like what's
the first lie ever I just kind of wanted to see what people would say you know
and of course I came across this I just go go what was the first lie or the
first ever lie this is what came up just a Google search I don't even know what
it was you know how it has all those questions like who was our first man you
click on it it gives you an answer it doesn't tell you where it comes from so
somebody wrote it but this is what they said they said the first I recording the
Bible is that of the devil who lied by adding to the Word of God God told Adam
and Eve that if they ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil they will surely die now this thing is all messed up that's exactly how I
copied it and pasted it it's all messed up and I'm pretty sure I know that they
they know they messed up but they didn't care because first of all God didn't
tell Adam and Eve God just told Adam that's just a fact whether you believe
it or not hey read chapter 2 you'll figure it out he was after he said it
amen but sure enough either they knew that this was a mistake and they didn't
care or they flat-out don't know that the devil told him that they will not
but when I copied and pasted it says that they told him that they would
surely die no he didn't he said they will not that's what was enticing to Eve
like hmm you know well I think I think that's a good good thing then to be
smart and wise and know that I'll be it as a God you know but that's what came
up that's what came up in the internet but let's look at verse 6 says and when
a woman saw that tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes and
a tree to be desired to make one why she took of the fruit thereof and then what
eat I'm gonna tell you right now this world is filled with lies it's just
unbelievable how many lies are just everywhere they come at you from all
different angles just on my uber drive here I literally just asked this man and
the reason I asked them it's because he asked me first hey where you from I'm
from Phoenix what are you doing out here I'm gonna go preach at a church right
now what church is it pure words Baptist and he's like really never heard of it
oh you will you will that's what I'm thinking and then he says well you know
what I'm a minister too I'm like really I got a question for you and I simply
just asked him a simple question like hey what do you believe was the first
line the Bible I just want to see what he had to say well he messed it all up I
don't remember exactly what he said but let me put it this way he messed it all
up and then when I try to ask him well what do you mean by that well I don't
think it was a literal fruit I think it was figurative I think what she ate she
ate that lie and once she ate that lie that's what she died spiritually but
hold up it says she took of the fruit and she ate of the fruit so I'm trying
to explain to him why I think it was literal because it says she took it well
you need to read the Bible more and this guy's a minister he flat-out told me I'm
a minister I didn't ask about church or whatever but that's what he claimed to
be and he can't even figure out that it was literal because it says really
clearly that a when she saw when the woman saw the tree was good for food for
food if it was just like figuratively speaking that she just ate the lie and
therefore she died spiritually makes no sense when you see these verses saw it
saw it it was good for food pleasant to the eyes she took it and guess what she
ate says she took of the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also unto her
husband with her and he did eat and the eyes of them were both open and they
knew that they were naked and they soaked big leaves together and they made
themselves aprons and they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the
garden and cool today and Adam and his wife hit themselves from the presence of
the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden and the Lord God called on to
Adam and said out to him where art thou and he said I heard the voice in the
garden and I was afraid because I was naked and I hid myself and he said who
told me that I was naked has thou eaten of the tree where of I commanded thee
that thou shouldest not eat nothing about touching and I'm wondering if he
really said that shouldn't it be backed up somewhere else and I'm thinking to
myself what's going on well let's keep reading for the sake of time let's just
skip to verse number 17 you're right there at your Bible go to verse number
17 and it says this and unto Adam he said because thou has hearkened unto the
voice of thy wife and has eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying
thou shalt not eat of it now they're sure you touch it didn't say anything
about touching I don't see it did you guys see it I mean he told Adam hey don't
eat nothing about touching in the next chapter hey did you eat I told you not
to eat did you eat and of course he said I told you not to eat nothing about
touching now we look at 17 once again he mentions eating but nothing about
touching what am I getting that brother girl I don't know could it be possible
that what Eve said was actually a lie I think so okay let me give you the
definitions of lying what is a lie if you have your Bibles go to Genesis 12
you're not gonna find the definition of line in Genesis 12 but I'm just saying
go to Genesis 12 cuz that's where I'm gonna go next let me just give you a few
a few things when I looked up and dictionary calm about lie the word lie
it says this a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive an
intentional untrue that's not what we see with Eve it wasn't trying to
intentionally deceive the devil it wasn't trying to do that and it was an
intentional untruth that I'm not sure maybe God did say it maybe she said it
and maybe she just quoted him and God just quote himself saying hey I told you
not to eat but then it says this and the second one something intending or
serving to convey a false impression that's not what he did she was not
trying to impress the devil by driving up in a Ferrari that she doesn't even
own to give the devil the impression that she's balling you know that's not
what happened here that's what it means a lie something intended or serving to
convey a false impression and yeah there's a lot of people like that they
drive nice fancy cars making you think there's something that they're not
trying to impress the Joneses and guess what later on it gets told cuz they
can't pay the payments happens all the time but we can say that car right there
that's just a lie that dude doesn't have any money you know I don't know what
he's doing he can't afford that thing I know how much he makes and later on is
a yo where's your car they happen to my boss when I was working a prize
electronics he had a really nice SUV super nice SUV later on it was the SUV
haven't seen you right in it before got told couldn't afford it but he was
trying to make people think that he was successful figure day you know what I
need something to show people I'm successful too I'm an assistant manager
at a prize electronics store you know what it's time I got something to show
people what's up big mistake because then fries electronics started going
bankrupt and so when his vehicle but here's another definition and then
accurate or untrue statement that's kind of what a C would be I don't think she
was deceitful and I don't think she was trying to sin but one thing that people
like to say is the line is always a sin but I want to show some lies in the
Bible to kind of give us an idea how God God thinks and how he sees things
because aren't there a lot of people in the Bible that lie obviously we see the
devil he lied I don't know like I said I'm not a hundred percent sure what's
going on with Eve and this whole touching thing but I don't think that's
what God said I don't think she said anything about touching but whether you
think it is or it's not true one thing we know for sure is that the devil did
lie he lied for sure but that is a fact a lie we see in the Bible here's another
lie that we see in the Bible it when Abraham lies to Pharaoh you're right
there in Genesis 12 let's just quickly look at that story and it says that it
came to pass and it was come near to enter into Egypt that he said after
Sarah his wife behold now I know that our a fair woman fair meaning beautiful
now our fair woman to look upon therefore it should come to pass when
the Egyptians shall see thee that they shall say this is his wife and they will
kill me but they will save thee alive I say I pray thee thou are my sister and
it may be well with me for thy sake and my soul shall live because of thee and it
came to pass that when Abraham was coming to Egypt the Egyptians beheld the
woman that she was very fair the princess also of Pharaoh saw her and
commended her before Pharaoh and the woman was taken at the Pharaoh's house
and he entreated everyone well for her sake and he has sheep and oxen and asses
and manservants and maidservants and she asses and camels but the Lord plague
says the Lord plague Pharaoh in this house with great plagues because of
Sarah I Abrams wife so here we see a lie he's saying she's my sister why did
Abraham lie because he was scared it doesn't say that in this chapter but we
know later on from another incident he has that he has an issue a line
especially when he gets scared and you could tell you from the beginning of the
story he's like hey they're gonna slay me he's afraid he's scared and he lied
he lied not because he was trying to deceive Pharaoh into thinking he was
rich because he wasn't but why did he do it in this situation he lied because he
was scared and a lot of people lie because we get scared but that's what
it's a good thing to be a righteous person because the Bible says that the
righteous are bold as a line and that's what should be our goal is to be bold
one way is to clean up your life clean it up try to be an honest person so you
don't end up lying in this situation and in this situation I believe that what
Abraham did was sinful it was wrong look what happened
Pharaoh wasn't blessed he was plagued last time I checked being plagued is not
a good thing it's a bad thing but let's go to Genesis chapter number 20 let's go
to Genesis 20 here we see another one of Abraham's lies another lie in the Bible
this is still Abraham the same character as the one we just saw but this time he
lies to Abimeleh and we get a better idea as to why he keeps doing these
things why he keeps lying he has a problem with lying it says in Abraham go
to verse number one and Abraham journey from dance toward the south country and
dwell between Kadesh and Shur and so journey Gerar and Abraham said of Sarah
his wife she is my sister he's doing it again and Abimeleh king of Gerar sin
and took Sarah but God came to Abimeleh in a dream by night and said to him
behold thou are a blessed man doesn't say that he says thou are a dead man a
dead man so here sure enough Abraham lies to Abimeleh and believe Abimeleh
doesn't even know what's going on he doesn't realize he's just been lied to
and because of Abraham's lie it almost causes him his life how do we know
because it says thou are but a dead man I'm about to kill you it almost caused
him his life but you know the story if you read it verse number four
but Abimelech had not come near her and he said Lord well thy
slay also a righteous nation say he not unto me she is my sister and she even
she herself said he is my brother in the integrity of my heart and innocency of
my hands have I done this and God said unto him in a dream yeah I know the
doubt this is in the integrity that I heart I also be healthy from sinning
against me therefore suffered I did not to touch her and then we can skip to
verse number I'm sorry not verse number oh yeah let's skip to verse number nine
that says this then Abimelech called Abraham and said unto him what has thou
done unto us and why have I offended thee that thou has brought on me and on
my kingdom a great sin thou has done deeds unto me they are not to be done
even they have the common knowledge that realize that what you're doing is
wrong lying like this is not right Abraham they're rebuking them Abimelech
is rebuking him and even Abraham you know accepts the rebuke because
Abraham it says right there in the biblical saying to Abraham what's I was
out there and thou has done this thing and Abraham said because I thought
surely the fear of God is not in this place and they will slay me for my wife
sake the exact same thing that happened so what Pharaoh doesn't go well God is
not pleased with Abraham takes his neck but yet again Abraham does it again lies
about his wife sure enough he almost caused the death of a of an innocent man
God even said yeah I know you're innocent that's why I kept you from
sinning against me so we need to be careful because our lives could hurt
innocent people so you got to be careful when you look at people when you look at
these lies in the Bible they're there for a reason they're an example unto us
that we can learn from them and get an idea how God feels about lies especially
when it's a situation like this when you're fearful what can we learn from
this story as fearful as you are don't make the situation worse by trying to lie
your way out of it or try to take things into your own hands instead of trusting
the Lord and letting integrity guide you you decide to lie to get ahead that's
what he was trying to do it's trying to get ahead but he was also afraid for his
life now he's kind of like double scared or something but here we can learn that
listen God in this situation is not happy with the way things are going he's
not happy with Abraham and I'm sure Abraham figured it out
Bemelik turned out figured it out when God told him specifically what you're
doing is gonna cost you to die you need to fix this and he's like whoa I didn't
know you know I'm innocent I know you're innocent now go fix it now let's take
another look another look into another lie we see in the Bible and this is
where Sarah lies to God now lying to man is bad come on lying to God let's
learn something from that let's learn from Sarah lying to God Almighty Genesis
18 if you can go backwards chapter 19 chapter 18 flip flip flip look look look
verse 13 Genesis 18 13 let's take a look at this story says in the Lord said unto
Abraham wherefore did Sarah laugh saying shall I live a surety-bearer child which
am old is anything too hard for the Lord at the time appointed I will return out
to thee according to the time of life and Sarah shall have a son then Sarah
denied but who is she talking to well let's find out then Sarah the nice
saying I laugh not for she was afraid and he said nay talk about God God's
gonna say nay but doubt this laugh now go to accept the number five now we know
that she lied because what is the lie once again it's a false statement made
with deliberate intent to deceive she said I didn't laugh because she's trying
to deceive God thinking that she can fool God it's a believing that she
really didn't laugh at him because she didn't believe his promise she's like
what I'm old what do you mean I'm gonna have a child she's like laughing like
God you're crazy because I what why are you laughing not enough if she lies she
makes the situation worse instead of like I'm sorry and forgive me Lord you
know she's literally laughing at God and then she lies you know to God lies
straight to him but what you can see is that God just kind of lets it go is he
not he doesn't he doesn't do and I mean is she dead nobody she lied to God or am
I off what did she like to Abraham or God God because what does he say nay
you did lie that's what he says let's look at another person that also lied to
God let me see what happened to him so you're right there in Acts right this
story of Sapphira and Ananias or Ananias and Sapphira hey they lied to God as
well let's take a look Acts 5 but a certain man named Ananias with Sapphira
his wife sold a possession and kept back part of the price his wife also
being privy to it and brought a certain part and later the Apostles feet but
Peter said Ananias why has Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost and
to keep part of the price of the land while it is remained was it not thy own
and after it was sold was it not in thy own power why has thou conceived this
thing in thy heart thou has not lied unto man but unto who God same thing
that Sarah did she lied to God straight to his face at least they lied to a
man's face but she was they were still lying to God and what does it say it
says Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost and great
fear came on all them that hurt these things so much for that theory that the
Old Testament God is this mean evil God with no mercy but the New Testament God
he's much more merciful not based on what we just saw because think about it
Sarah lies straight to God's face nothing happened and Ananias and Sapphira
they lie and they drop dead what was the difference Sarah was not deliberately
trying to lie to God like trying to deceive him it just happened because we
have a sinful nature similar to why did Eve say that God said not to touch it
either because that's just how God made us he didn't make us robots perfect
machines that never make mistakes he made us human beings human beings were
free will the ability to love him because we want to not cuz we have to
gave us choice when he said hey don't eat of it but she took it upon herself
because she has emotions like us short-term memory like us you think she
was different than us no I bet you they had the ability to forget things as well
and maybe the story wasn't as clear when she was telling it to Satan that's when
she heard it from her husband maybe she thought her husband said not to touch it
but whether it came from Adam or her own heart or whatever the case based on how
God kept bringing up the fact that they told you not to eat I commanded you not
to eat twice and nothing about touching kind of leads me to think that that's
probably the first lie in the Bible because it wasn't an accurate statement
when she said I never said not to touch it but yeah what happened you got
right you're dead I'm not giving you permission to like yes I love the
sermon all right mom you're listening who be merciful just like God you know
that's not what I'm getting at I'm just giving you examples of these lies in the
Bibles that will teach us something and I think it'll help you at the end of the
service you'll see where I'm going with this already saw Abraham lie twice his
wife lies oh geez I mean first the same feather flock together huh seems to
happen sometimes you know Abraham lies Sarah lies it's like whoa not a
coincidence I'll be sure there are people but then
what happens and an answer fire they lied and what happened to them they
didn't get the mercy that Abraham and Sarah got absolutely not because they
knew better they knew better and there was trying like it says they're making
a false statement with the deliberate intent to deceive they knew they were
lying they sold land try to look like heroes try to look like givers you know
the whole amber heard thing hey I gave seven million did you actually give
seven million over heard why plush wait a minute
he's like did you give it or did you not give it amber heard well I pledged it
that's not my question well I use pleasure gift the same did you give seven
million or not but to this day I'm going to that's not the same you know it's a
lie you didn't give the money look how crazy this woman is you don't know what
I'm talking about good for you good for you but if you don't quickly it was just
some actress she's on YouTube all day long it seems I don't know how long this
trial is gonna go but she lies her face off a lot one of the things that she got
caught lying is how much she donated he divorced some Hollywood star she got
seven million didn't want to seem like a gold digger told everyone she donated it
and even like what five days ago a week ago maybe two weeks ago she's been
claiming for over a year that she gave seven million to charity ACLU and the
Children's Hospital each of you doesn't serve any charity money I don't know how
they're a charity money but whatever but anyway she ended up supposedly giving
this money and it turns out she never gave anything she lied she kept telling
people I gave I gave even when she's on the stand well to me pledging the same
as giving that's not that's not reality weirdo but this is the same thing to
Ananias and Sephara are doing yeah we gave we gave you know have truth but
still God punished them for that severely they lost their lives so think
about that kids don't think you're gonna be like Sarah I didn't lie but you know
that'll probably treat me like Sarah or you could treat you like Ananias and
Sephara so we need to be careful with what our intent is when bad false things
come out now let's keep looking at this other story there's another one Jacob
lies to his father Isaac if I didn't tell you to go to Genesis 27 go to
Genesis 27 Jacob lies to Isaac and what goes around definitely comes around
Jacob is a perfect example of that but let's take a look at his life and
there's a bunch of lies in the Bible and sorry for those that tuned in thinking
I'm gonna be preaching I'm about how how there's mistakes in the Bible and
there's all these made-up things in the Bible all these lies in the Bible the
Bible is written by man we cannot trust it you know no this ain't that type of
service you know yes the title is a little click bait ish lies in the Bible
pastors like what he never told me that there were lies in the Bible there are
zero lies in the Bible right now if you haven't figured out the title God help
you so let's take another look at another lie that we see in the Bible
this is the lie of Jacob where Jacob lies to his father Isaac Genesis 27 go
ahead and look at verse number 22 verse number 22 says this and Jacob went near
on to Isaac his father and he felt him and said the voice is Jacob's voice but
the hands of the hands of Esau and he discerned him not because his hands were
hairy as his brother Esau's hands so he blessed them and he said our Dharma
even after he blesses them you know you could tell that Isaac's kind of doubt
him so he says and he said I doubt my very son Esau no he says my very son
it's like are you really Esau are you really my son Esau and look at this
instead of backing out and feeling bad and saying dad okay it's me Jacob I'm
sorry mom made me do it you know instead of just saying hey dad this is what is
not him I'm sorry dad forgive me he continues he continues and he said I am
not our lie to his dad why because he's afraid no that's not why because you
happen to slip out like Sarah no that's not why why is he lying because he wants
the blessing he wants the blessing you say no his mom wanted the blessing
listen at the end of the day nobody can make you do squat nobody can you do it
because you want to do it you and I both know we can back out of anything even if
it cost us our lives so it's not like his mom had a knife like if you don't go
get that blessing I'm gonna stab that was not the case he did it cuz he also
wanted the blessing he wanted it so he went and he stole it and so why do
people I guess they're afraid sometimes it slips out it just happens how God
made us the whole Eve thing you know he said nothing touch it this is what we
are don't go crazy if somebody says something is not accurate a it happens
cuz we're human that's just how God made us but I hope you're not like
Abraham lying your face up cuz you're scared or like Jacob because you want
the blessings the money whatever not good let's take a look at another life
in the Bible go to Genesis 29 18 hey Jacob lied to his dad now labors lying
to Jacob what goes around comes around let's see what's going on in this story
Genesis 29 18 so Jacob lies to his father and then now God allowed Jacob to get
deceived himself to be lied to himself Genesis 29 18 if you're fast enough you
can get there if not meet me in Genesis 29 21 I'm gonna start with verse number
18 says in Jacob loved Rachel and said I was served these seven years for Rachel
thy younger daughter and layman said it is better that I give her to thee then I
should give it or another man abide with me and Jacob served seven years for
Rachel so he promised his daughter Rachel if he serves them so he serves
them seven years and they sent him out to him but a few days for the love he
had to her man that's a sermon that needs to be preached and Jacob sent out
to laban give me my wife for my days are fulfilled that I may go in on to her and
laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a fees and it came to
pass an evening that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him so
instead of giving him Rachel he gives them Leah he lied to him saying yeah he
served me for seven years I'll give you Rachel he knew wasn't gonna give her
Rachel but he lied to him he lied to him verse 25 and he came to pass it in the
morning behold it was Leah and he said and he said to laban what is this as thou
has done unto me hey how does it feel to be deceived buddy the night I served
with thee for Rachel yep you sure did what happened he lied to you even says
wherefore then has thou beguiled me old-fashioned way of saying why did you
lie to me why well why did he lie once again because he wanted money how how he
had a guy that was working for basically nothing and he knew hey I'm getting
blessed because of you so he didn't want to keep him because he loved them he
thought it was a great worker he just wanted all the blessings himself so why
do people lie well why did Abraham lie afraid what happened with Sarah human
just slip it happens what happened with laban he's evil that's just a bottom
line he's an evil dude what happened with Jacob he allowed himself to become
an evil dude too but we see these lies and it hasn't even hit the other books
yet we're all in Genesis and speaking of Genesis let's talk about Potter first
wife let's talk about why a woman would lie to her husband Genesis 39 go to
Genesis 39 and this one is recent this this thing happens a lot unfortunately
it happens a lot this heard of a sports guy who got arrested for sexual assault
and man does those things seem to happen all the time hey that's the life that's
the life you wanted to live the fornicating lifestyle well that's the
risk you're gonna take but sure enough you got arrested for sexual assault and
I guess about a month ago the police said not enough evidence not enough
evidence we just have to arrest them and see what happens and then they
investigated it and it was so weak I let the guy go not enough evidence it was
just hearsay it was just a weird text that could have been interpreted either
way you know how guys are whenever they do something to some girl and then they
throw it to the side they'll mock her and say whatever they need to say and
they'll make up stuff to make yourself seem cool that was kind of what happened
in this situation and most people are like man I don't know you know why would
she do that I did how to first wife let's take a look
Genesis 39 7 through 8 verse number 7 and it came to pass after these things
that his master's wife whose mess out of first wife has her eyes upon Joseph as
she said lie with me that's an old-fashioned way of saying that she
wanted to have a physical relationship with him outside of marriage she wants
to commit adultery but he refused getting on him and said unto his
master's wife behold my master what is not what is with me in the house and he
has committed all that he has to my hand verse number 13 and it came to pass when
she saw that he had left this garment in her hand and was flat forth that she
called into the man of her house and spake unto them saying see he has
brought in the Hebrew talking about her husband brought in this Hebrew this
Hebrew is Joseph unto us the mock us he came in out to me to lie with me that's
a lie saying this guy came in trying to commit adultery with me he came in to
lie with me and I cried with a loud voice and it came to pass when he heard
that I lifted up my voice and cried that he left this garment with me and fled
and got him out she's flat-out lying why why is she lying is she scared no this
is an accident it just slipped no is there money no she's rich it's made a
pot of her the guy has a business and employees and Joseph as his right-hand
man the guy is rich he has money she has Gucci all clothes and everything else
you know it's like why would she do it because she wants revenge because she's
evil she wants revenge and don't people I why did this girl lie about this
athlete she wanted revenge because guess what he used her and he was done
he moved on to the next girl she was loose she wanted to just commit
fornication with this dude maybe he suckered her maybe he did it maybe she
just didn't care at the time and now she did when she saw him having fun with all
these other females and decided to say hey this guy raped me here's my evidence
look at these text messages the cops are like whoa what happened he held me down
and he did this and that and whatever and then the cops were like well did you
tell him stop yeah what happened when you told him stop he stopped saying
that's not right as you guys not wanted to do that anymore
well why why did you go to the cops you wanted revenge she wanted revenge that's
what it came down to why is Potter first wife line because she wants revenge but
why do people lie well like Abraham's here to death hey like Sarah it slips it
happens fair enough people love money they lie to get ahead in life they lie
to get riches sells insurance guys selling stuff life insurance people
selling stuff making stuff up making it sound better than it really is why did
they do that because they want the sale they want the money why is this woman
lying guess why she's lying she's lying because she's wicked and she wants
vengeance that's why she's lying same reason that the devil lied to Eve why
because she saw how good they had it he wanted it he went to go destroy her lie
to her to destroy her and Adam and it worked it worked but what else can we
see in the Bible let's go to Exodus Exodus chapter 1 35 minutes in I got 10
more to go I try to wrap it up in 10 minutes if not worst-case scenario I'll
finish in 25 but I just want to talk about these people these lies in the
Bible that we see they're there to teach us about life teach us how God feels
but now let's kind of take a little bit of a different direction here let's take
a look at some lies that are kind of interesting in the Bible the other ones
are clear Abraham what are you doing hey I need to take heedless I get so fearful
and lie my face off whenever I get scared or you know what I don't want to
get so crazy about money that I'll do whatever it takes to get it including
lie my face off to my clients know what I need to watch myself so I don't become
a false witness and accuse my brother in Christ of something that he's not really
doing and it will happen and it has happened in our church nobody says hey
this person said this we go investigate it and it doesn't seem to be the case
it just happened why once again engines whatever envy bitterness whatever you
have towards this person is what's causing you to lie and make up things to
get this person I don't know to be looked at in a bad way that's what
Potiphar's wife wanted hey this guy tried to lay with me cuz now she want
everybody to hate him wanted her husband to hate this individual and he
did so much he grabbed them and put him in prison because she was just this evil
woman that lied her face off no conscious nothing didn't say husband I
lied he's innocent let him go let him out didn't feel any sympathy for him
not at all but now let's take a look at it clear this chapter number one verse
18 does this doesn't the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said unto
them why have you done this thing and if you know the story Pharaoh ordered the
midwives to kill all the men children that are born to throw them into the
river and kill them all but to allow the females to live because he was afraid
they were gonna get so big so powerful and basically destroy him and his people
and take over he was afraid of that so he's lying to the midwives you know hey
you know what we need to do X Y & Z to make sure our nation prospers it was all
about power is all about money that's why he's saying what he's saying
there's nothing to do when they do the right thing he doesn't really care about
his people he wants to be in power that's what he really cares about who
you're fooling Pharaoh says then the midwives set out the Pharaoh because a
Hebrew woman are not as the Egyptian woman for their lively and a delivered
heir the midwives coming on to them so he's saying hey what's going on why
aren't you putting these children to death why are they still alive and they
lie they're like a you try to get to them before they have birth but they get
birth so quick you know by the time we get there is over nothing we can do
about it they lie why did they lie to save their
height to say their hides against a maniac against a psychopath against the
worst of the worst a reprobate and literally ordered children to be tossed
into the river and to kill all the the little boys and let the females live
because they don't fear the female and it says this remember they lied where's
the lie verse 19 because what did they say they said they these these Hebrew
woman says they're not like the Egyptian woman for their lively and are
delivered air the midwives coming on to them therefore God dealt very angry with
the midwives is that what it says no it does not it's interesting they lied it's
a clear lie that's not what happened they deliver the babies and then gave
the babies to the moms and then Pharaoh found out is a what's going on how come
these babies still alive well they gave birth so quick that a we couldn't get
there in time that's a lie they're lying to save their highs but here's what it
says also says that therefore God dwelt well with the midwives and the people
multiplied and backs very mighty and that wasn't enough praise it says and it
came to pass because the midwives fear God that he made them houses so he
treated him very well now what was the purpose what was the reason why God made
them houses and God was very happy with them it's because they saved the
children they weren't afraid of Pharaoh like if he kills us he kills us but
we're not gonna do what he tells us to do you know we're gonna pretend I'm like
the old saying if you got a crazy leader in the military that tells you to
go through the fire don't be a crazy man and go through a fire go around the
fire that's what I was just say yes sir you just say yes sir right away and I
was told by a very wise sergeant hey these during this because we're in
combat it's like if these officers get a little crazy in the trade to go through
the fire we just say yes sir right and that's kind of what they're doing
they're going around the fire why because they know it's wicked to kill
these babies they know it is well God is pleased with them because they're
fearing him says they fear God they don't fear him and of course you're
gonna fear one or the other either man or God you almost can't you can't fear
both to the God or man who you gonna fear and of course what did they do they
saved his children alive but they also lied to save themselves not only did
they not kill the children save the children but they also lied to save
themselves but yet it doesn't say anything about God being upset with them
and punishing them why because they weren't being deceitful for their own
personal gain they were doing it for what to help somebody else to help
somebody else get saved see their heads were not on the chopping block per se
but they knew a these kids their heads are on the chopping block and we're
gonna do our best to rescue them because they're innocent if you're they know
what if we perish we perish we're gonna do the right thing just like yesterday
and that's what ended up happening in this situation so what is my point I'll
get to that in a second let's look at another life this is rehab rehab lies
to the men of Jericho he's lying to the men of Jericho go to Joshua chapter
number two if you can't Joshua chapter number two we're almost done just a
couple more examples and then we'll wrap it up
I'm 40 minutes into it as a Shelley says I can have an hour I got 20 more minutes
to go amen like man I thought we're gonna get off early Joshua number two if
you're not there yet you can meet me in verse number five but I'll start in
verse number one testing Joshua the son of nuns and now she them two men to spy
secretly saying go view the land even Jericho and they went and came into a
heartless house kind of like the weirdest place to go when you're doing
a recon but oh well they came into a heartless house named Rahab and lodged
there and it was told the king of Jericho saying behold there came in in
hit in hither tonight of the children of Israel to search out the country and the
king of Jericho sent out to Rahab saying bring forth the man that are come to thee
you know which are entered into thy house where they become to search out
all the country and the woman took the two men and hit them and said thus there
came man unto it now that now Rahab's talking to the men of Jericho there came
man unto me but I wish not whence they were and it came to pass about the time
of the shedding of the gate when it was dark that the man went out wither the
man went I will not pursue after them quickly we shall overtake them by she
brought them up to the roof of the house and hit them with the stalks of flax
which she had laid in order upon the roof and a man pursued after them and
the way to Jordan unto the forest and as soon as they which pursued after them
were gone out they shut the gate go to first Samuel chapter 19 so what do we
see we see Rahab clearly lying lying her face off what is she doing once again
she's lying because she's trying to save these men just like the midwives did
trying to save life they're innocent she knows the truth my people are wicked
they're serving the right God their God's gonna take over our nation we're
done as a people either get on board or you know what then get destroyed but I'm
gonna trust that their God is true God look at all the stuff they've done so
far surely all these victories that they've had they're from the true God
she believes on the righteous God and we know that because says in Hebrews 11 31
by faith the heart of Rahab faith and what faith in the Lord by faith the
Rahab perish not with them that believe not and now here's the problem is they
didn't believe you know when she had received the spice with peace you know
but obviously what we see is her clearly lying deceiving the men getting them to
go the opposite direction so these guys have a chance to escape and live to
serve God another day and ultimately fulfill God's purpose you know so that's
what we see and sure enough hey we gotta say what people say it wasn't the line
that that got her where she was her actions yeah but how was she able to
save them she saved them through a lie the facts are if she had not lied guess
what who knows what would have happened she would have been like yeah search the
place they probably would have found him but in that moment she did what she had
to do she made a decision and her intent was to save them that's what I see when
I read it's like hey she was not trying to be wicked she was trying to save
these men up these men out these men are there for a reason they're righteous men
of God let's take a look up a couple more examples and then I'll wrap it all
up let's look at where Michael Michael Davis wife he lies to her father Saul
if you can go to 1st Samuel 19 and you know what just meet me in John 4 go to
John 4 well you go to John 4 I'm just quickly going to read some verses when
it comes to Davis first wife Michael it says right here in 1st Samuel 19 Saul
the same messages on to Davis house to watch him and to slay him you guys can
go to John 4 it says that they that Saul said missions to Davis house to
watch him at the slay him in the morning so Saul is sending people to go kill
David and Michael Davis wife told him saying that thou save not thy life
tonight tomorrow thou shall be slain so she finds out and she tells her husband
you're gonna die you're gonna be killed my dad is gonna have you killed in verse
12 says this so Michael let David down through a window and he went and fled
and escaped so she saved his life and not only that she's trying to get him
to just escape as far as far as possible you know it says right here and
Michael took an image and laid it in the bed and put a pillow of goats here for
her for his bolster and covered it with a cloth and with salsa measures to take
David she said he is sick she's clearly lying and Saul sent the messengers again
to see David saying bring him up to me in the bed that I may slay him and when
the messengers were come in behold there was an image in the bed with a pillow of
goats hair for his bolster and Saul said unto Michael why has thou deceived me
why have you lied to me and sent away my enemy that he has escaped and
Michael answered Saul he sent out to me let me go why should I kill thee so
she's like hey I try to stop him but he's trying to kill me so let him go so
she lied to save her life and basically she lied to extend her husband's chances
of living longer you know so it's clear that's what happened he lied she even
said you deceived me you lied to me then he lies again hey he's trying to kill me
you know so sure enough you know he escapes David gets to live another day
and of course you know the story he became chemists etc now let's take a
look at the last to find a lie just a lot of lies a lot of people that lied in
the Bible I'm just bringing up a few just kind of showed that there's a lot
of examples of lies out there and they all have a purpose to show you the
nature of God is the way I see it so right now we're gonna look at the woman
at the well she lies to the town people don't know that but she did let's take a
look right now John 4 16 it says this this is after he meets her tells her a
call your husband I have no husband that's right you don't have a husband
you have a bunch of husbands and a person that you're with is not your
husband perceive you're a prophet so you're done right and then verse 16 says
this Jesus says unto her go call that husband and come hither the woman
answered I said I have no husband just said after her das well said I have no
husband but I was had five husbands and he whom thou now has is not thy husband
and that says thou truly the woman say thought to him sir I perceive the dark
prophet our father's worship in the mouth and he shaded in Jerusalem is a
place where men all to worship Jesus a thought to her woman believe me the hour
cometh when he shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship
the father you worship you know now what we know what we were shaped for
salvation is of the Jews but the hour cometh it now is when the true
worshippers will worship the father in spirit and in truth for the father
secrets us to worship him God is the spirit and need of worship him must
worship him in spirit and the truth the woman said unto him I know the
Messiah coming which is called Christ when he has come he will tell us all
things just say it out to her I just speak unto thee and he and upon this
came his disciples and marveled that he talked with the woman yet no man said
what seekest thou or why talkest thou with her the woman then left her water
pot and went her way into the city and say to the man come see a man which told
me all things ever I did is not this the Christ now let me ask you this is that
what Jesus did told her all things she ever did no she's exaggerating and call
her whatever you want she's like she's not saying something that's truthful he
just told you an adulterous woman get right that's about it you know and she's
like whoa perceive you're a prophet she didn't tell him all things ever I did
they didn't have enough time but she took off and that's just what happened
that's what happened with Sarah that's what happened with Eve it just came out
she's just so excited she's human she's just saying what what was in her heart
maybe she just wanted to like blow up Christ she's so excited like hey come
and see this man maybe she felt that hey if I can bring people to him maybe maybe
he can you know tell them what he told me and it even says in verse 39 and many
of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman which
testified he told me all that ever I did that never happened it never happened
but they did get saved they did get saved so just like Micah lied saved
David's life here's almost the same thing but in a spiritual sense she's not
being wicked she wasn't trying to lie it just happened so don't get crazy on
people when they say something that's not truthful also in it they can still
get that person saved don't correct them you know there's a you know hell
separation from God actually no it's not yeah I've heard people say that I'll
sell with him but if you don't know hell is now separation from God you're
gonna be burning the presence of the holy angels of God in and in front of
the lamb in case you don't know you know but some people also say other things
that aren't true but it's not like they trying to deceive it just happened you
know well what am I trying to say what happened to the woman she still got the
job done God still used her what happened to
Rahab yeah I was in a perfect situation she did what she had to do hey God God
blessed her for that and the midwife same thing Michael same thing you know
it's like yeah they all lied but what what am I trying to show you is that a
it is what it is God he is a balanced God he is a just God and he understands
things aren't always perfect you deal with a lot of wickedness in this world
you know what when things happen like maybe tell lies God is looking back
looking at the situation and saying listen obviously what happened happened
but I am God I'm just going to continue to bless you because you're doing what's
right you're doing what's right in other words yes line overall what does
Bible say about line let's take a quick look that shall not bear witness against
thy neighbor 1st Peter 3 10 for he that will love life and see good days let him
reframe his tongue from evil in his lips that they speak no guile I was talking
about being deceitful line Proverbs 12 22 lying lips are abomination to the
Lord but they did they'll truly are his delight Psalms 34 13 keep the tongue
from evil in the list from speaking gal giles to see gal its lies Proverbs 10 18
he the height of hatred of lying lips and he this slander or utter the
slander is a fool Proverbs 14 5 if people witness will not lie remove far
from me vanity and lies numbers 23 God is not a man that he should lie Hebrew
six eight six eighteen that by two immutable things in which it was
impossible impossible for God to lie we might have a trunk oscillation who have
fled to refuse to lay hold upon the hope set before us but here's also what the
Bible says first Kings 22 it says the Lord said who should persuade a half he
may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead and once it on this manner and another set
on that manner and there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord and
said I will persuade a half here God wants to punish a happy he's like how am
I gonna do it there's a spirit that says hey I'll persuade him and the Lord
said out to him we're with and he said I would go forth and will be a lying
spirit in the mouth of all his prophets and he said thou should persuade him and
prevail also go forth and do so now therefore behold the Lord has put a
lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets and the Lord has spoken
evil concerning thee but why am I bringing this up to show you that yes
God hates lies we should not be people that are known as liars we should not
believe that lying is okay it's alright listen we all understand that people
will say things they will say things that aren't true but what's the
situation what is going on are they out to deceive are they trying to deceive
you if so you should realize that those people God is not pleased with them he's
gonna be out to punish them and of course God uses even lies to punish
people that allows this evil spirit to become a lying spirit to his prophets
and gives people over like it says right here even when second Thessalonians 2 9
whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power signs and lying
wonders and with all the siebleness of a right of a unrighteousness and then
their parish because they received not the love of the truth that they might be
saved and for this God called God or for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned will
believe not the truth I have pleasure in unrighteousness so yes God cannot lie
but God uses lies to punish people bottom line and when it comes to us as
God's people what's the deal well look at all the stories that you saw look at
all the examples that you saw it tells you when not to lie when to definitely
not lie and if you're going to lie better be or something like what
happened to David something that like happened to the woman at the well where
she's not trying to deceive but she's just doing her best you know with what
she'd has what it comes down to so what gives what gives is simple you never
know we may come to you know to a time when something like this may happen to
you but we're obviously being persecuted it's an unrighteous you know persecution
but all means hey don't make the devil's job easier you know by just giving us
over to him you know just because you're afraid or whatever the case may be and I
don't know about you but I see a message clear lies bad don't be a liar bad don't
lie like Abraham like Laban don't be like Jacob don't deceive like like Laban
you know but you also see things like Rahab you'll see things like Michael you
also see things like the woman at the well what gives hey all I can tell you
is look at those stories and apply them when you need to apply them that's all I
can tell you and if you guys ever run to my house hey these people are trying to
kill me hide in the basement they're knocking my door I don't know where it
went I have no clue where the guys I you know like that would never happen well
we were ready for it to happen because when I went to a certain country that
was persecuting us and I went there on a quote-unquote black ops under the radar
I was given specific instructions by someone as our Anderson they told me
that a down there they're out to get you so if they end up stopping you and
questioning you you don't have to tell them that you know me you don't have to
tell them you're from faithful word tell them you're from whatever local church
stay as close to the truth as possible but those situations he says this is
what he said I don't believe it's wrong to lie to get out of that because they're
being evil and wicked do what you got to do to get yourself out of that
situation because they're not giving you a fair shake so don't give them a fair
shake and do what you have to do to get yourself out of that situation and get
out of that country whatever you have to do they press you you don't know me if
they press you you're not from faithful word if they press you you're from
whatever Baptist Church yeah the liberal the liberal one around the corner you
know but he basically said that's what I believe based on based on these stories
and that's all I can tell you right now look at the lies in the Bible and use
them to guide you amen let's pray there God think for everything that you've
done Lord and we ask you to bless everyone here I think so much for this
platform and father I hope I help people today you know to just kind of get this
attitude that a sometimes it's not a perfect situation as much as we hate
lying you just never know what will come across our past but help us to deal with
these situations the way we see people in the Bible deal with them and not to
have this holder in thou attitude where we say to everyone that line that's
never acceptable no matter what no matter what it's always wrong and we
should never ever ever ever tell lies we should never and not just that when
people do tell lies if we notice that it was just something that slipped out not
to get all crazy over it their Lord but you know treated the way you were
treated and we ask you to do all this for your honor and glory in Jesus name
amen
