Please comment on the 'key' of 9:1 and 20:1. Also, do these verses refer to the same angel?

Hello walkforchrist,
God hates both. Consider Ananias and Sapphira who lied and God took both of their lives for it (Acts 5:1-11).

Greetings Val!
Let me try a different approach!
Can you tell me what God's Word says about lying?
Don't give me anyone's opinion. Just post what God says about lying!
Your Brother in Christ,

Could you please explain how it is that some Christians treat a gift of God is an inconvenient imposition?
Not saying you have a wrong concept, just wondering exactly what you mean.
blessings abound, bowler
Greetings Val!
Dear sister, I am not berating anyone.
The general theme of many of these posts on this topic has been that sometimes God will not deliver; therefore, we must lie to protect the innocent.
I have pointed out Scripture after Scripture which clearly states that it is a sin to lie.
I have pointed out Scripture after Scripture that affirms that God is all powerful and all knowing. Yet, for some unexplainable reason, many are still insisting that sometimes we might have to lie because God won't deliver us otherwise.
Quite simply dear sister, this is not a question of differing views, but of obedience to the clear commands of Scripture. There are certainly times when believers may differ on certain issues in the light of seemingly conflicting Scriptures. But, this is not one of those cases.
You have not produced one Scripture that says it is okay to lie, but have only expressed your opinion that it is okay to break God's commands if one has a good enough motive.
It is a slippery slope to start making exceptions to God's commands. We either obey Him or we don't!
Frankly, I never expected such a strong reaction to God's command from Christians on a Bible Study Forum.
Your Brother in Christ,
Tim Moran
Val, I've judged nobody. If you have taken offense to my post dear sister, you should search yourself for the reason you took offense. I mentioned no names nor did I imply an individual it was meant for. It was a generic response.
My post was to Tim and the answer seemed appropriate. I'll be judged on my words and I'm fine with that. If I've erred, unintentionally for sure, God's grace has me covered.
Stand in His grace,
WOS
