Is lying about your reasons for doing something a sin?

http://www.wasillaag.net/


Hard to say... I mean sometimes god has directly told people to lie in the bible about there reasons for doing something.

So if your going by the bible as your spiritual guide... it's at least ok to lie when God tells you to.

Technically the commandment is "Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor."

Which is basically just bringing false accusations... and even then some would argue false accusations in court.

You could probably only say the bible forbids two kinds of lies for sure.  False witness, and lieing about what scripture and the religious tenants are.
