lately, this topic has been om my mind for a long time. wether u dont lie but u dont say the whole truth. now these are just examples ill give so u can understand what i meen. i really need all of ur helpa and suggestions. plez say wat ever u think is rite. i really need to no. thx so much.
example: if for an example u got a lot of things for ur birthday. kk. and u told ur frends but not to show off or anthing. then u realized that they didnt get a lot. so sarcastically youd say "did u ever here of relatives?"
so at this pt u makin her believe that its ur family too but ur not exactlty tellin her anythin. is this a lie.
example: if ur dad asked you if u were asleep and u said im on the bed. is that a lie. ur on the bed but ur not asleep. is that okay.
example: is it bad to lie for covering up for somebody or somethin. not nesserialy if it were 2 bring 2 pppls bac to gether. rite. but wat if it was simply so no one could make fun of that person.
example: wat if u were for an example very smart in school and u studid all the time. but u didnt want anyone 2 no that. so u would make up a lie and say that u did a lot of things and such and such. is that bad.?
thank u soo much!! i really need u to take this ino consideration. u probably think this is silly and stuff but if u think about it , it may be hard to comprehend. sry if i confused anyone.

plzz pray for me
here is what I think... i might be wrong though... since u answered ur dad then he knows that ur not sleeping... so it is okay.
me personally... if mama or papa ask me if i'm sleeping i say "YES" and they giggle since they know i'm only kidding around. again, my personal opinion... i won't lie about it.... i would be honest no matter what.... with faith and my eternity, i'm always selfish and zealous why do u cover urself? if ppl know that ur smart... so what... u might be able to help someone if that someone comes up to u and ask u a question since he/she knows ur smart and u would be able to help!!!
bout ur first example... sorry but i don't get it :-\ ...
hope i helped ::)
p4m plz

well... i don't think its a lie... ur family got u the gifts and u indirectly told her that ur family got u the gifts... so if i understood this correctly... there are no lies involved!
did i miss ur pt? ???
in my opinion... it would be a lie since you didn't say the truth about the gifts... you can make her feel better without saying anything about ur gifts or who got'em for u
for example: give her some of ur gifts that u don't need or she would benefit more from them.... that would increase the amount of love between u 2 but no lies to be said........ *** she might understand this wrong so be careful how you say this, depending on the nature of the friendship... it might not cause any problems... or if said wrongly she might think of it as if your helping her or somen....
again... that's my opinion :D
hope i helped and sorry it took moi a long time to get ur point... hehehe
we ba3dan ya3ni... if this is not real... why tease ur brain... just say "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us"

If somebody asked you "How are you?" and you are not fine and you say "great"
Is that a lie?
Hummmm............
i know myself... when i'm upset or somen, mama asks me "malak ya abni" and i just say "mafish haga"..... i do it alllllll the time, and i never thought about it as a lie...
jydeacon, isn't it a bad habbit? after all, we should be living by what the bible says... and it commands us not to lie.
i think ideally we should be honest.... but what do u do with the nosy ppl who will keep on asking "what's wrong ya habiby?" if u say "not too good" or somen??
Bas, when my parents ask me "what is wrong" I tell them "noting" when there is something actualy wrong!! I do that because I don't want them to worry about me.
Bas ya3ni if this is considered as a lie and a SIN, then Heaven is no place for me!! :'(
God said dont lie, so dont
thats it
no confusion and no questions asked
