Reply to "Upcoming debate at UNA: God does not exist"

gb.  The N a z i s are at your door.  You have hidden a family of Jews in your attic.  Will you lie to save their lives?

Don't try to read too much into my post.   You post indicated that Kyle Butt lied, as if he deliberately lied, about the Young Earth.   You know as well as I do that Kyle has a very good reason and basis he believes what he does as do you.  He happens do disagree with you and you with him but neither of you lie you are just voicing your beliefs based upon that which you consider to be the factual theory.  I don't see deception going on.  

 

I did though think that was one of the better parts of the debate where Kyle ask Blair if he had lied anytime during the debate.  It was just one point he got a large laugh and caught Blair off guard.

 

As to your question I hope you are being facetious.  Of course I would as would most anyone.  There is however one thing I would never lie about even at the sacrifice of my own life and an even harder decision at my families and that would be to deny my savior and God.  To that I could and would never do.  Not for saving my own life or for as much wealth as you could accumulate would I deny my Savior or the Holy Spirit of God within me.  Any other scenario and the answer to that I could potentially lie about depending on the situation.  I can't say I would feel right or good about it and would have to ask forgiveness for my sins as I do with my current shortcomings.  Man/women, the flesh, is sinful in and of itself and capable of any and all sins.
