Episode Details

Is it ever right to lie? Scripture says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness”—but what about Rahab, who lied to save the spies and was praised for her faith? What about the Hebrew midwives, who lied to protect covenant children—and were blessed by God? In this episode, we tackle the hard edge of biblical ethics and ask: have we confused Christian obedience with pagan moralism? If telling the truth leads to murder, is it still righteous? You’ll hear why abstract truth-telling can become a tool of evil, and how real holiness means standing for God’s law—even if it means lying to Pharaoh.
