The Lying Tongue (Remastered)

Few things provoke God’s wrath more than lies, and Scripture is unambiguous in its condemnation of the lying tongue. In this incisive chapter, Rushdoony explores how false witness—whether through gossip, propaganda, or historical distortion—destroys not only reputations but entire civilizations. With examples from Scripture and modern history alike, he shows how lies, once unleashed, spiral into deeper moral decay, warping justice and numbing societies to real evil. The solution, he argues, is not merely better fact-checking, but a return to personal responsibility under God’s law.
