I will ask God why he lied? God doesn't lie.

Whoa. Strong words. Calling God a liar if he disagrees with your interpretation. Better hope you're right.

coming back to add:

Wow. I've been sitting here for 10 minutes feeling more and more stunned by the audacity of that statement. Seriously??!!?? You study the Bible, you think you understand what it means (even though there are many, many, many honest people who have studied the Bible and come away with a different understanding).... and if you get to heaven and God doesn't agree with you, you're going to call GOD a LIAR????? I say again.... Wow.

(and just for the record, it's 'chaste'. I don't think 'chaised' is a word.)

I can only believe he didn't mean it that way -- because I was just as shocked as you. Call GOD A LIAR???????

Sadly, I think he does. I come from a very hardline heritage concerning these things but I don't think I ever heard it put as strongly as this man has said it. Essentially, he said:

If his personal interpretation of the bible isn't correct, God is a liar. That's really, really hard to stomach.
