SEEMINGLY LITTLE, BUT DEADLY SIN OF LYING.
According to the Bible in the book of revelation 21:27, heaven-bound saints must be free from entanglement of lies.
Also, according to the Oxford English dictionary, To 'lie' or 'Tell lies' means To give false information intentionally with intent to deceive.
I'm sure we all know what it means to lie or tell lies but I'd like to enlighten you more on the different types of lies which are;
(1) Verbal Lies,
(2) Gesture Lies,
(3) Paper Lies, and
(4) Media Lies.
EXPLANATION:
(1) VERBAL LIES are lies spoken directly with the use of the tongue or mouth.
Examples of verbal lies are, face-to-face lies,lies through phone calls,lies on intervews, etc.
(2) GESTURE LIES are lies made through nodding and signs.
(3) PAPER LIES are lies written on papers.
Examples of paper lies are,forging results,Creating fake certificates,reducing age to secure a job(many Christians have been trapped by this), and so many so-called Christians, having official age different from real age- this is living a fake life or life of lies with the employer or the government. God is watching all actions of men!
Getting results through Exam malpractices:
They do this by impersonation, coping from others, bringing text/note books or answer papers to the exam hall etc.
Writing wrong time of resumption on time-book in the working place(if you get to work at 9am, don't write 8:45am if you want to make heaven);
Wrong report in the Church or working place. I have heard of a branch Pastor inflating attendance(number of attendees), so as to gain honour before the general Overseer: this is evil.
Writing wrong figures on receipts to have unlawful/unholy gains. etc.
(4) MEDIA LIES are lies made through the media.
Examples of media lies are;
Writing wrong age figures on Facebook profiles and other social media platforms which many Christians don't regard as a sin.
Impersonation on the internet:- Pretending to be what one is not on the internet: Some people put pictures of Celebrities on their Facebook profile, so as to dupe people through that; some men put pictures of ladies on their profiles, so they can use that as an opportunity to dupe people, therefore engaging in lies and robbery. God sees all we do: He knows all about us and will judge all actions of men.
Duping people on the internet in the name of "BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES", like cash flip,telling people that they want to give them job, etc...
Declaring wrong age and other wrong data on newspapers, giving wrong information on the television etc.
TAKE HEED!
God sees what you do,he hears what you say,he is writing all the time;he knows what you do,he reads all that's in your heart and he is taking record of it all.
GOD SEES AND KNOWS YOU IN AND OUT, AND WILL JUDGE YOU ACCORDING TO THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS.
The Bible says in 1John 5:17 that, "All unrighteousness is sin..."
And of course, sin takes one to hell so my advice for you is to run away from lies, because hell is the end of it.
BE WISE!
ESCAPE HELL!
