☦ Eastern Orthodox Christianity: Some scripture regarding lying
It is written...Proverbs 21:6 & 8 - A fortune made by people who tell lies amounts to nothing and leads to death. … But the conduct of those who are not guilty is honest.
A person who lies hates the individual they are lying to (Proverbs 26:28). And if you hate another human being, God views the hater as a murderer (1 John 3:15; 1 John 4:20). God hates the sin of lying because it is deceptive. False prophets and teachers are equally condemned.
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.” “A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.” “A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.”
