You said your phone was on till you got to the hotel. You lied. Which means you lied a lot more about what you did that day.

Yeah. I know a guy who says he performed CPR but later said he didn't. Both statements can't be true.

I disagree. Frank, you often respond to a moral objection to behavior in the scriptures by saying “the Bible can be descriptive without being prescriptive.” Why aren’t you considering this here? Abraham lied, Jacob lied, the midwives lied, they all benefited from those lies but God never explicitly condoned a lie that I’m aware of. Are white lies ok? If my wife asks me an opinion about her outfit and I lie to protect her feelings, I have voluntarily distorted her (and others) perception of reality in some small way to benefit what I determined to be a justified ends. Who am I or you to determine the ends.? All we have is the means. Greater absolutism is wrong. I believe it’s a sin to lie ever. Saving innocents isn’t of greater importance than lying. Tyrants can’t succeed without otherwise righteous men, “lying for the sake of the innocent.” If tyrants arrive at my door asking questions I have a duty to oppose them with my own life first and others if necessary. The correct response to Nazis at your door who are searching for Jews is defiance not lies. If that leads to a seemingly horrible outcome then so be it. I choose to not ever consciously lie again and let the chips fall where they may. If I lie for what I perceive as a greater good, then the consequences are on me. If my refusal to deliberately manipulate truth leads to suffering or death, then that’s on God.

Frank, was lying about performing CPR from the 3rd row on 9/10/25 morally wrong in your mind? How about lying about a 9 hour FT call while somehow also calling Hibbs from a phone that was in the back of your blook soaked clothes as you wore hospital scrubs as well. We'll wait.

Is dictating the police what to take or not to take in a murder case morally wrong?

What about the gal in the Bible who hid the Israelite spies by lying to the men of Jericho (Rahab I believe). She’s a forebear of Jesus Christ. In rare cases it alright. That said the exception doesn’t change the rule.

I'm allowed by God to KILL a person to protect my life or the life of another person, given that, why would lying to someone to protect a life be wrong? If I was in Nazi Germany, hiding Jews in my house, and the SS knocked on my door and asks if I knew of any Jews hiding in the area are you really going to say it would immoral to tell them I didn't know of any?

When you preach on the virtues of lying, ask yourself if Jesus ever lied. Paul said to emulate Jesus. Paul also said Christians are not permitted to lie about anything. You have a different standard than Jesus and The Bible.

I feel bad for these young kids that their parents sent them to Turek The Lying Pastor to get clarity about lying or not

Jesus obeyed the Word of the "Oath" and said I am the Truth, not I am the truth with some white lies built in. How about that?

No, but isn’t the Bible pretty clear about the fate of liars?

Revelation 21:8. All liars will be cast to the lake of fire. You may want to stop lying to yourself and the public about Charlie's death.

Rehab is another great example and she was blessed into the line of Christ.

As you stated, it depends on what you mean by a lie. Here is a three pronged test that I apply: 1. Is the statement false? 2. Does the person making the statement know it is false? 3. Is the person making the statement for personal gain? Under this test, the midwives did not lie. Those hiding Jews from Nazis did not lie. In both cases the false statement was not made for personal gain. They told untruths. They knew they were untruths. In both cases they did not benefit. In fact they risked great harm to themselves. All lies are untruths. Not all untruths are lies.

Dr Turek, in a paragraph or two can you tell us why you believe in the God of the Bible?

Wow. This is repulsive, Frank. Per @AndrewKolvet: according to @charliekirk11 , “WE DON’T LIE.”

It’s about our hearts. Lying to save a life is a no-brainer.

Then why not lie and not be martyred in a situation where they ask you who your God is? It doesnt hurt anyone and christ knows your heart so why not lie? I cannot accept lying isnt sin.

Would Jesus tell a little white Lie? Also, the Ten Commandments are not the only place in the Bible that deals with lying. The new Testament has several commands not to lie.

Is assassinating a public figure moral? Why are your stories about the events so sketchy and not corroborated by Harpole?

If the lie is for self preservation to avoid accountability for your sinful actions, it is sin.

Not being ashamed of the Gospel, doesn’t imply we’re to taunt Nero with our inheritance.

Nazi in Germany are not going to believe you if you lie and say you are not hiding Jews. The Bible doesn't says God told the midwives to lie or that he rewarded them for lying. You need a bigger God.

Ten Commandments specifically says "against your neighbor". Just like remembering the Sabbath command, it specifically says you shall work 6 days. Why doesn't everyone read the complete description of the commands?

Is it a sin to lie for Donald? Is it a sin to NOT lie for Donald? In pursuit of Christian White Nationalism. “Fascists always have Clergy somewhere in attendance.” Which side of that line in history will you and yours reside? You’re no Bonhœffer, Frank. Choose soon. Wager now

All liars have their part in the lake of fire.Rev 21v8. In any case GOD does not need your lies to accomplish his ends. He can accomplish whatever he wants without your lies.

Frank, what are you DOING??? You need to just come clean, tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth, and accept justice for any part you played in this. Dude, eternity isn't worth this.
