Liars

When I think of the word "abomination" I think of something that is banished or evil. What comes to mind are those huge monsters from that book Where the Wild Things Are.
What also comes to mind is sodomy, which the Lord had to destroy Sodom and Ghomorra over, and lying.

The Bible tells us that lying lips are an abomination unto the Lord.
Why? Can't I tell a little white lie? What if the lie isn't hurting anyone?
Well we know from scripture tha Lucifer was once a bright angel, second in power after the trinity. He is the father of lies, meaning, he created them. Anyone who tells lies isa liar and is the son or daughter of the devil.
Jesus does not identify with liars. He does not call them His own. And the Bible is also clear on which types of people will be consumed with hell fire. And liars are right up there.

If you are in arelationship with someone who lies, get out!
I've had to break business ties with people, because I have found them to be lying, dishonest, untruthful and canniving. And I'm not talking about outside people. People who identify themselves as SDA, are among the best liars around.
Lying of any kind hurts the union, whatever that union may be. If you have abusiness partner who is a perpetual liar, break away from them.
Certainly you can minister to and pray for them, but it is imperative not to go beyond that. People are known by hte friends that they keep. Would you want people to associate you with a liar?

Christ needs an honest tongue and a pure soul for His kingdom? Will you be counted?
