Kenneth D. Christensen A lie is a lie, is a lie, is a lie. All lies are sin, no matter what they pertain to. The subject of a lie determines if it is wrong. God does not make a distinction in lies because of the topic. There should be no consequence for this lie.
Sex is unimportant.
Thou shalt not commit adultery. It was important enough to God that He included it as one of the ten commandments. President Clinton will not permit his health records to be made public. Sex is only right within marriage, it is a sacred thing. God Himself likens it to the Love that Christ has for the church.
