The Eternal Destiny of Liars

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Jon Gruber and Harry Reid

Even liars tell the truth once in awhile.

MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of the infamous Affordable Care Act, (a.k.a. Obamacare) admitted that he and his cohorts resorted to lying to get the ACA passed because if the true intent of the legislation was revealed, few people would've supported it.

And then, of course, Gruber stated that many Americans were simply too stupid to know or even care what the ACA legislation contained. So that's why the ACA framers such as Gruber intentionally lied about it.

Gruber certainly did tell the truth about the American electorate. Indeed, many of them are too stupid and apathetic to vet their political candidates. So instead, they vote for those who tickle their ears with promises of entitlements and handouts. That's how Barack Obama won reelection in 2012 despite his abysmal record.

Certainly, when it comes to lying, Obama takes a back seat to no one. Obama lies because he understands that there are a lot of folks out there who'll continue to believe whatever he tells them despite the obvious mendacity of his remarks. And he knows that he has a compliant and corrupt media to protect him from scrutiny.

But Obama, Gruber and all who lie won't escape the scrutiny of God who hates lying. He hates it so much that He condemned it in His Law recorded by Moses: "Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another." (Leviticus 19:11)

Many people will claim that Leviticus 19:11 only applied to the ancient Israelites because it was contained in the Mosaic Law. But Leviticus 19:11 is part of God's universal law and it applies to everyone, past, present and future. 

Those who willingly lie and deceive others will pay a heavy price in eternity unless they repent of those sins. For those who don't believe that, consider the words of Jesus Christ spoken to the apostle John concerning those who will inherit eternal life and those who will be condemned: "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice the magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood." (Revelation 22:14-15)

Nearly 800 years before John recorded the Revelation, the prophet Isaiah recorded similar words from God concerning the new earth he will create at the end of time and those who will be allowed to live on it: "As the new heavens and new earth that I make will endure before me, so will your name (Israel) and your descendants endure. From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me. And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind." (Isaiah 66:22-24)

Among those who will be loathsome to all mankind will be unrepentant liars. And it matters not whether one claims to be a Christian who's confessed Christ as Lord. 

If you're someone who willingly lies and has no conviction for it, you're headed to hell unless you repent. Anyone who claims to be a Christian must turn away from sin. 

Why does God find lying so detestable among His people? Here's why: "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name." (Exodus 20:7) That's the third commandment of the 10 Commandments.

Anyone who claims to be a Christian and willingly lies, misuses His name. And unless they repent, they will wind up in hell after their life on earth is over. That's something to think about.
