Ananias and Sapphira
Acts 5:1-11
Ananias and Sapphira died after lying about the amount of money they donated to the early Christian community in the Book of Acts in The Bible. Their deaths were seen as punishment for their deceitfulness and hypocrisy.
White lies are often seen as harmless and used to protect someone's feelings or avoid conflict. However, it can still erode trust and credibility if the truth is revealed later on. It's important to consider the consequences and whether honesty would be a better long-term solution in the situation.
From a moral standpoint, lying is generally considered wrong in most religious and ethical systems. However, the severity of lying can vary depending on the context and the intention behind it. While a white lie may not have harmful consequences, it still involves deceit, which can be considered unethical.
Sarah lied to the angel because she was afraid (Genesis 18:9-15). When told she would have a long-awaited child, she instinctively laughed at the idea because she was, by then, 90 years old(Genesis 17:17), but the angel was very clear that NOTHING is impossible for God. His rebuke was a reminder to Abraham and Sarah, and to anyone reading the Bible throughout the centuries that followed, that NOTHING is too extraordinary for God.(Matthew 19:26/Luke 1:37/James 1:5-8). Sarah's son was appropriately named "Isaac", meaning 'laughter'(Genesis 21:1-7).
In the context of the Bible passage you mentioned, God is allowing a lying spirit to deceive King Ahab because of his wickedness and refusal to listen to the truth. This serves as a form of divine judgment against Ahab for his disobedience and unfaithfulness. It is not a reflection of God lying through His prophets, but rather a consequence of Ahab's actions.
A preterist is someone who believes that many or all prophecies in the Bible, particularly those related to the end times, have already been fulfilled in the past, often referring to events like the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. This view contrasts with futurism, which holds that these prophecies are yet to be fulfilled in the future.
