I understand the thought of making your kids happy as I raised 3 myself. But there are many, many ways to do things for your kids to make them happy.
But in God's eyes is there such a thing ...[text shortened]... g with this tradition and lied to his kids with even just a simple lie? Just my thought....
Certainly I don't believe that a malicious liar will be judged favorably
by God anymore than a murderer. But many liberals can't distinguish
between any kind of killing. The Jehovah's Witnesses seem to be
in agreement with them. A soldier defending his country and kills
an enemy and an innocent bystander is just as much a murderer as
a serial killer, who kills people out of anger or for the joy of killing.
These cowards have used their religious beliefs to get out of
serving in the military. I have no respect for any religion like that.
Some go as far as saying killing for food is evil and refuse to eat meat.
I believe it is the intent of the heart that determine if a lie is good or
evil or any other act. I believe we will be judged by Son of God based
upon our intent not just the act alone.
