9: Thou shall not lie

God requires that no man should lie, but that is the very problem, we lie because we have to, not because we find it a benefit, but because we are forced to lie in certain situations and I am very bothered by this idea. I try to live a very honest life, but I am meet with restrictions with my truth, at the heart of it all, I’m going against morals and standards and righteousness. The irony of that commandment is that we cannot keep it, nor can we perfect it, but we are “it”and can become “more of it”. It’s odd to come to realization of this truth when it saddens me to acknowledge it. Yet, religious people aren’t fully aware by how much they lie, because the fraction is so small, they do not notice it. We are not fools to the reality of how things are once we are old enough understand how the mechanics works. You can live an honest life if you choose, but you do it at an expense, our honesty can cause hurt, pain and tears, even death, It saved Abraham life and it can save yours if you use your head, which is also a saying from Christ, “your mind like serpents and your heart like children” I am not encouraging we lie every chance we have, because that would be the wrong idea of this message, but only when it is necessary and that should be seldoms, God understands…I hope.
