#108 Holy Deception: Is It Ever Okay to Lie As a Christian?


Listen Later

It's time to investigate a seldom-explored area of the Christian worldview and philosophy. In this real conversation from the Hammer & Anvil Society, we dive deep into the controversial topic of 'holy deception' inspired by James B. Jordan's book, Primeval Saints. The discussion explores numerous biblical examples of deception used to protect the innocent and fulfill God's plan, engaging in thoughtful debate on the morality of lying within a Christian framework. Key insights, historical context, and thought-provoking questions provide a nuanced view on a complex issue.
