Totally opposite. It was her reasoning that led her to be seduced. Only the born again can reason with God.

Can't do that until... King James Bible Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

No. I'm taking the position that they did not lie. Had Pharoh pushed the matter of disobedience he would have had to get witnesses to tell him they were there for the birth of some of the males. What we see him do is change tactics. His goal was to stop the number of Hebrew males from...

A lie has no part in truth. That means it can't have a part in any part of the truth. Whether that be half of the truth or all of it.

No. My example from scripture shows that truth is never suspect.

🙃 I followed it up with scripture.

That they didn't lie. Your position of what constitutes a lie. If you're talking about being the OP, don't you think when you start a thread about lying that it would be relevant to define what constitutes a lie? Specially if during the course of it examples of lying are being brought up?

That's because everybody would have done the same thing our parents did under the same circumstances.

The midwives showed up for the Egyptians. Or else they wouldn't know the difference. Irrelevant. You, @JudgeRightly @Clete and @way 2 go have. Are you trying to invent a strawman? My statements have not disagreed with that position. I don't reckon you're the judge of what I need.

No lie is of the truth.

A half-truth is still part of the truth. The verse states that no lie, is of the truth, period. Therefore, the midwives did not lie.

This could be a good topic for another thread. Like, what did the spirit actually do? If the Holy Spirit agrees with our spirit that we are sons of God, did the lying spirit somehow make/coerce them to believe their own thoughts were true? Interesting, no?

Why would one think that a half truth is a lie at all? Considering...

So, the question becomes, did they lie or tell a half truth?

Miracles are in the eye of the beholder.

In who's eyes did Jacob lie? Esau sold Jacob his birthright. If you ask me, Jacob, for all intents and purposes, was at that time Isaac's first-born son Esau.

The midwives did not see the Hebrew women on the stools. The babies had been delivered before they got there. The midwives were in the clear, for they did not witness the birth. While Pharoh would have been happy for them to kill the children anyway, which the midwives would have done if they...
