Ep 52 Part 3: God's Purposes and The Invention of Lying

In this final part of our discussion on The Invention of Lying, we explore how Scripture addresses the complexity of truth and deception. We reflect on the story of Shiphrah and Puah in Exodus 1, where the Hebrew midwives lied to Pharaoh to save innocent lives and were blessed by God for their fear of Him. We wrestle with the difference between selfish lies and life-preserving ones that align with God's heart and covenant purposes. Our conversation broadens to other biblical examples, highlighting that God's plans can work even through human deception. Ultimately, we conclude that our hearts—not just our words—determine whether our actions honor God. Website: https://www.parablearrows.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parablearrows
