2021.10.04 The Essence of my Message regarding Lies and Tale Bearing
Introduction
Many of the Commandments are reasonably easy to keep once you have a fix on what they are really referring to. The Commandment about lying may be the most challenging for most people, particularly since most people do NOT really understand what constitutes lying. This article shares deeper understanding about lying and how to deal with it.
The Ninth Commandment – NO Lying
The ninth Commandment, given by the Almighty and written in stone and reported in the Bible at Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20 forbids “false witness”, in other words lying – the ninth Commandment. Note that since the Commandments were given to millions of people by the Almighty speaking audibly from the Mountain (never happened again) and then subsequently confirmed in writing on the stone tablets it is evident that these Commandments will NEVER change.
So, as an ABSOLUTE statement, ALL lying is forbidden!
ALL Believers with Unconfessed Sin to Hell for a Time after Death
To better understand the implications of this consider Revelation 21:8 in the Bible “But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” Notice that the unbelieving are specifically mentioned, so ALL the rest applies to Believers ONLY. So if you are a Believer and you tell even a SMALL lie and do not confess it and repent of it you will have a PART in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone – I understand this to refer to Hell -- where you will be tormented in proportion to your unconfessed sin, even if it is one little lie!
You may think that is unfair, but consider the extreme suffering of Yahooshua {Jesus} on the stake when he died to give us a way to easily repent of our sin, see https://www.eti-ministries.org/miracle-of-yahooshua-jesus-death it is only fitting that we should suffer similarly for unrepented sin – see https://www.eti-ministries.org/hell for descriptions of Hell.
If you believe a Lie and act on it you will be Judged
In the Bible 1 Kings 13 1 to 32 reports a challenging account of a Prophet who received a specific Command direct from the Almighty and then disobeyed based on a lie told to him by another man who was a Prophet. He was killed by a Lion as judgment for his disobedience.
“15 So the prophet said to the man of Yah, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
“16 But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place. 17 For I have been told by the word of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’ ”
“18 Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’ ”
“The old prophet was lying to him, 19 but the man of Yah went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
“20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing came to the prophet who had brought him back, 21 and the prophet cried out to the man of Yah who had come from Judah, “This is what Yah the Eternally Self-Existing says: ‘Because you have defied the word of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing and have not kept the commandment that Yah the Eternally Self-Existing your Mighty One gave you, 22 but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’ ”
“23 And after the man of Yah had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him. 24”As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
“25 And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
“26 When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of Yah who disobeyed the command of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing. Therefore Yah the Eternally Self-Existing has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that Yah the Eternally Self-Existing had spoken to him.”
This is really important to understand. So, if your Pastor lies to you and you believe that lie and act on it YOU will be judged either in this life or when you die. If you receive an email that contains a lie and you ACT on the lie YOU will be judged. If you watch a YouTube video that contains a lie and you act on the lie YOU will be judged, etcetera.
This then ripples through to the next point, Tale Bearing.
Tale Bearing – spreading of lies – is forbidden
Tale Bearing is the spreading of lies and gossip (unverified stories).
In the Bible note the following verses:
Leviticus 19:16 “Thou shalt not go up and down as a tale-bearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am Yah the Eternally Self-Existing.”
Proverbs 11:13 “He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.”
Proverbs 16:28 “A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.”
Proverbs 18:8 “The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.”
Proverbs 20:19 “He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.”
Proverbs 26:20 “Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth.”
Proverbs 26:22 “The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.”
So we see that we are clearly enjoined NOT to spread gossip (unvalidated stories) and lies.
Note that this applies EVEN if we do NOT know that we are spreading lies.
The implication of this is that IF you do this you WILL be judged, either in this life, or in the life to come, see https://www.eti-ministries.org/essence-of-message-concerning-judgement-this-life
About emails, YouTube, other Social Media, etcetera
All the above has a very significant implication when it comes to the on-line world.
If you receive an email containing a lie and you believe it and act on it, you WILL be judged.
If you forward that email and others believe it and act on it, you WILL be judged more severely.
Same applies to posts, likes, shares, etcetera on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, etcetera.
So, if someone sends you an email advising you NOT to get Vaccinated against Corona Virus and you believe it and act on it but it is a lie you WILL be judged, more so if you circulate that to others, particularly if they act on it, do NOT get Vaccinated and then get the Virus and die or suffer greatly.
Clearly the reverse also applies, IF you tell people that they should get vaccinated and that is based on a lie you will ALSO be judged. I am very confident that it IS safe to get vaccinated.
So EXTREME CAUTION is necessary with regard to discerning WHAT you act on and WHAT you share.
About Religious Doctrine
The same applies to what you read and act on and distribute with regard to religious doctrine.
So, for example, if you say that “Jesus is coming soon” you will be judged for use of the false name Jesus instead of Yahooshua and you will be judged for saying he is coming soon when he MAY return in 3003, 982.5 years from now.
The same applies to the other false names, the false Sabbaths and all the other false doctrines of the Christian Church, the Moslem Mosque, the Jewish Synagogue, the Hindu Temple, the Yoga Guru, etcetera, etcetera.
Extreme caution is warranted.
Submission and Lying
There is a bit of a paradox here. If your employer tells you to lie and you submit and do what you are told the employer will be judged and YOU will get off without judgment because we are told to submit to those in authority over us -- see Hebrews 13:17 and Romans 13:1. Same applies to a wife whose husband tells her to lie or a child whose parents tell them to lie.
How to respond to this?
So, HOW do you respond to this information?
Firstly, let me note that this ONLY applies if you are a Believer, if you are an unbeliever it is irrelevant and you can ignore it. Implication is that IF you as a Believer receive an email from an unbeliever you need to be EXTRA careful what you believe and act on and particularly what you share with others.
The ONLY way you can constructively respond to the above is with the following measures:
- Pray regularly, as in daily “Father I ask you to lead me into ALL truth by your Spirit”.
2. “Father, I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it.”
3. Pray regularly, as in daily “Father I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly” -- watch out for judgments and course correct as necessary.
4. Embark on a series of at least seven three day water only fasts at weekly intervals asking to be led into truth and shown error, taking Communion morning and evening and praying the above prayers when you take the wine each time.
5. Be cautious about what you read in terms particularly of emails you receive and posts on Facebook and other Social Media. If in doubt do NOT read it or stop reading it.
6. Be even more cautious about what you forward, like, share, etc – if you are in the habit of forwarding and sharing on a regular basis you may well be advised to cut back drastically.
7. Note that you will probably have to execute at least two or three of the abovementioned fasts at six monthly intervals while praying the above prayers daily before you will BEGIN to be in a position to discern lies and truth with some reliability.
What to do when you realize you have lied
Immediately you realize that you have lied or spread a lie pray “Father, I have just realized that what I said is a lie” I repent and ask you to forgive me”.
It is possible that as you read this article you will become aware of a considerable number of lies you have told, unverified emails you have forwarded, unverified posts you have shared, etcetera.
Immediately pray as above and list as many instances as you can think of. You can also pray in addition to the above “Father, I have now realized that I am massively guilty of these crimes, I ask you for Mercy to forgive me all lies and all talebearing, even that which I cannot remember.” You may still need to repent of specific instances.
At the first opportunity take the Bread and Wine of the Covenant {Communion} and when you take the wine pray as above and give thanks for receiving forgiveness.
To take this further, read the article “Seven Components in Growing Close to Yah” at https://www.eti-ministries.org/seven-components-of-drawing-close and put this all into practice.
Conclusion
Quite frankly UNTIL you have done the above you would be advised to drastically cut back on your activity with emails and Social Media until you are confident that you ARE hearing clearly. In fact, if you REALLY do what I am advocating you will find that you almost cease forwarding and sharing and you will be very cautious about what you read. The vast majority of what is on Social Media and that is distributed by email is lies at some level and should be ignored.
To put this in context, I have been praying the above prayers on and off since around 1998 and have been on eight sets of seven to ten three day fasts at weekly intervals between 2000 and 2021 so I have a high level of confidence that what I write is valid and truth.
May Yah the Eternally Self-Existing Bless you and Keep you and make His Face to Shine Upon you and Grant you His Peace.
