Re: When is it ok to lie?
If God and the Truth is the same thing, there is no truth since there is no God. And therefore I am always lying.Originally Posted by machintruc

It could be argued the reverse, that is since there is truth there is God.If God and the Truth is the same thing, there is no truth since there is no God. And therefore I am always lying.

that's not true. you're forgetting about wave-particle duality.
It's almost never acceptable to lie. I haven't yet been in a situation where it would've been acceptable.
Intuition
I suppose if an individual is in a situation where lying is expected, such as a game of poker, then I do not think that person does not harm anyone or one's self.
Obviously being honest is the most moral way of dealing with other people, but in my view, being honest is beneficial to the self.
anybody that suggests that lying is in and of itself immoral and reprehensible is a fool.
What if they do not suggest, but merely just explicitly and blatantly say it?

In which case, you have affronted the Truth of God! Lying for the sake of humor, is still lying and therefore sinful and morally apprehensible! Off to confession with you!

I confess my sins freely. There is nothing to hide.
Although this does remind me of a very good quote from the scriptures from memorial day weekend:
"Whatever sins you forgive in others, they will be forgiven against you. Whatever sins you hold against others, they will be held against you".

explicitly saying it effectively suggests the idea.What if they do not suggest, but merely just explicitly and blatantly say it?
What if it is necessary to lie to tell the truth?

is that directed at me?
It's not directed at anybody.

To lie to tell the truth may be to simply convince someone they appear a certain way in order to actually convince them that they're valuable. To state something explicitly that is false in order to imply something that is true...art often does this.

Lies exist because we need them. And, like everything, they have potential for both good and evil.
An important thing to keep in mind when lying is time. If a lie can't be reverted/forgotten after a short time, then there is a hint that it's something one shouldn't lie about.
