It allows us to pretend we did nothing wrong while deceiving another. The silent lie is passive; it takes no effort. In many cases, we congratulate ourselves for holding our tongue. There are around fifty-four verses in the Bible that directly address lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Proverbs 12:22 says<\/strong>, \u201cThe Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">We know when we have intentionally told a lie. It is called the black lie; we hate that term. We prefer to call it a little white lie. A little white lie sounds so much more acceptable. We know our words are not the truth the second they leave our lips. As we speak, we often wish there was another way to shed our guilt by telling the truth and still achieve our desired result. Lying is about achieving selfish results. At night, in the dark solitude of our bed, we pray for forgiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">\u201cA lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.\u201d \u2015 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alfred%2C_Lord_Tennyson\">Alfred Tennyson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lying by Omission<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">What about lying by omission, the silent lie? There are two broad categories of lying by omission. The first is when you say nothing when the other party draws a faulty conclusion in your favor. You watch them as they misinterpret your words, leading them to a conclusion. Maybe you intentionally crafted your words to mislead, feeling that their lack of comprehension is their problem. You spoke the truth in the exactness of your phrasing while knowing it would mislead. Lying by omissions can lead people to remember the true parts they heard while erasing the parts omitted or misrepresented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Psalm 120:2<\/strong>, \u201cDeliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Politicians have popularized another silent lie; it is deflection. They answer a direct question with an irrelevant fact. The implication is that the \u201cfact\u201d somehow answers the question. A politician is asked if they think their employment policies are effective considering the current 8% unemployment. They respond that there were 800,000 new jobs created in the last quarter. The implication is that they think their policy works without going on record as saying it does. The deflection gives plausible deniability later if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Psalm 12:2<\/strong>, \u201cThey speak falsehood to one another; With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Constant lying can take a toll on the person lying, affecting their mental and emotional well-being. Keeping up with lies can be stressful and may lead to feelings of guilt or anxiety. It can ruin reputations and minimize future potential. There is a whole list of adverse effects of lying, both physical and emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Biggest Silent Lie<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">\u201cWhen truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie.\u201d \u2015<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yevgeny_Yevtushenko\">Yevgeny Yevtushenko<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The biggest silent lie is when a Christian sees a person on the path of destruction and keeps quiet. Somehow, it is not their problem that the other person is destroying their future. Saying nothing does not betray Christ; it just avoids telling the truth. The silent lie is not telling the truth when the truth matters. Deliver the truth with compassion and love, but deliver it you must. Not speaking up is lying by omission, the silent lie. Watering down the truth to save face or avoid ridicule is a silent lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Proverbs 26:28<\/strong>, \u201cA lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">We speak the truth if we genuinely care about those we say we love. We do not allow the lost to believe a faultshood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Proverbs 14:5<\/strong>, \u201cA trustworthy witness will not lie, But a false witness utters lies.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There are many studies about the number of times a person lies daily. The majority conclusion is that everyone lies at least once or twice a day. That is right, everyone. We live in a broken world. The sixty-four-thousand-dollar question has two components. Do you lie to yourself by omission, refusing to allow yourself to believe the truth about yourself, and, by extension, lie to God about who you are? Does the silent lie hide aspects of your life that need open and honest communication with Christ? Trust is often the first casualty of lying. God already knows; you might as well come clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Psalm 101:7<\/strong>, \u201cHe who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.\u201d<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The silent lie is passive; it takes no effort.
