Deception is NOT a part of the Christian's walk. Period.
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
This IS a character issue. If a person can't be trusted to be honest regarding small matters, (assuming anyone considers this to be a small matter) they also can't be trusted to be honest on bigger issues. It's that cut and dried.
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
To insist that a small act of deception doesn't matter is ridiculous, particularly from a Christian standpoint. |
Doesn't matter or matters enough for your blood temperature to get out of whack? Which is it?
And what do you suppose the right way of addressing these issues is?
Any issues not submitted to the cross in your life? Any inconsistencies?
