Not sure I would feel comfortable telling another person to lie. there has to be another way to confuse the terrorists into believing something else..

Terrorists who threaten lives have no right to the truth.

You are under an obligation to tell the truth to people who deserve the truth.

Let me ask you this: If you knew that a friend of yours was cheating on her husband, and one of your close friends asked you if she was, do you feel you have a Biblical obligation to tell her the truth?

If the close friend was the husband, yes. If not, no because that would be gossip.

I've been told that we don't have to tell everything we know...so I think there are ways around it. I don't believe there is a biblical obligation to tell. HOWEVER, the bible also has rules about adultery. I believe I would or could be a sinner/accomplice by not telling. It would not be right to "help the adulterer"..

But, yes, I would tell, even if it meant losing the relationship.

With something like that you could say nothing --- but would you lie for an adulterer?
