A lie is a lie
If you know someone that thinks it is okay to change the truth for any reason they are very wrong. Why because if they instruct you to tell others that this is what happened and it did not then they bring you into sin, and you will not even be aware of that sin. But let me tell you something it does come back to you. You will find out about these things but not despair because God will restore you. Just hand the persons over to the Lord forgive them. If I was to tell you that someone left the group because his sister did not like the group. When I knew that he was in complete disagreement with me in the way I ran the group, and I told all of my leaders to tell all of you that someone left because of his sister, then I lie and my leaders lie to the rest of the group. I have been ministered to by the Holy Spirit of God that this happened to me. I was a part of a leadership group that was instructed to lie. And LIE IS A LIE. Does it really protect someone? Does it really help you in the end? If you sin, and cause others to stubble then what does God say about those things? Forgiving is easy but is very hard to forget when you trusted in someone that caused you to sin and trust others that cause you to sin. So remember next time someone tells you something as easy as I'm not here when the phone rings, don't lie for them. Bible says to avoid quarrels and stupid arguments, but is does not say that we should do this by ling to others.
