Fable | Define Fable at Dictionary.com
to speak falsely; lie: to fable about one's past. –verb (used with object) 10. to describe as if actually so; talk about as if true: She is fabled to be the natural ..fable is just another word for lie

lies are not right, depending upon ones definition of lie

for me a lie is an intentionally(meaning the speaker knows its not true) dishonest statement

I dont think anything someone hasnt said is a lie(although it can be deceptive)

,,,having said that, I do believe intentionally speaking an untruth is wrong

Not to mention, if you take everything written in the Bible literally.. you would probably be going to Hell, Cheer, if you have ever slept with your girlfriend (fornication), or if you slept in the bed with her when she was having her period (unclean time for women to be around men) or if you sat in the same chair she did at that time (she is unclean and you are spreading the filth).

I forget the exact book but I know that it is in there.

i never called you a sinner i just said something that is very very clear in the bible and 1 of the 10 comanments too its not me its God i just quoting not judging

Yes but he's only talking about lies right now so the rest of the Bible doesn't count....

i aggree with you so if a mother tell her kid that santa flying in the sky and bringing gifts to them and shes the speaker to the kid its a lie then right?

A fable is a short, pithy animal tale, most often told or written with a moral tagged on in the form of a proverb. Thus to convey a moral is the aim of most fables, and the tale is the vehicle by which this is done, providing both an illustration of and compelling argument for the moral.

If you are going to quote a definition, hun please include the whole definition.

we talking about lies not sleeping and fornication please keep on topic all i ask your opinion and you told me it now you going onto a diff topic and never slepted with a girl on her period but keep on topic you going all over the place

You said God said that it isn't right if we tell any kinds of lies and that means you will lose out on Heaven.....BUT even if you don't tell lies and are going to LITERALLY take that statement/commandment there are other things that people do that will make them lose out according to the Bible.

I stated my beliefs just like Prncs did and you are telling us how wrong we are because we think different from the Bible.

I Do not think it is bad to tell a child that Santa is real, as well as any of those other characters....it helps stimulate imagination and children need that.


If you feel different about that, that is your prerogative.




Different strokes for different folks.

yes but the topic is about lies and in the bible it says thou shall not lie and thats what the topic is about not other things and i not planing on going to heaven it says people with live forever on earth in the bible but thats a different topic again i not trying to get any upset but i was on 1 topic about lieing and God says thou shall not lie all lies does that mean? he does not say little lies are ok but big lies are not right?

In the Bible, Jesus tells several perables. These are stories meant to teach a moral and/or spiritual value. Like the perable of the prodigal son, it told a story that conveyed the message that we are always within God's grace.

Taken literally, one could say that Jesus lied because the people in the parable never existed.

I think my point is clear on this???

i guess your right some beleive when God says don't lie and bring your kids up in Lord and others say its ok to lie who care its not hurting no 1 but what i see is GOD CANNOT LIE and he tells us not too but we are imperfect but if you know its a lie and keep doing the same lie over and over is it right in Gods eyes you think?

Well Cheer, when you have kids, you let us know how the whole truth at all cost thing works out for you.

And another thing, if you tell us that you never lie????? I think thats a lie as well.

I went to Catholic school for eight years and our pastors would dress up as Santa Claus for the little kids....so if it was okay with them, it's okay with me.

did God give us the comandment of thou shall not lie?how more clear is that?
