do you agree that white lies is not a sin?

a white lie is still a lie and therefore its wrong as a lie is a sin therefore even by telling a white lie you are lieing and performing a sin.

I do white lies. I do not believe that all kinds of lying is a sin. I believe that sometimes you need to say something to cover up something and the result is better. Besides who in this world has never ever tried lying? Even the simplest lie is a lie and I do not believe that when you say you are full even if you are hungry, then that is a sin. For me we sometimes need to tell a lie to save ourselves. My teacher in high school once told me that when you are being ask by a bad guy and you are in a dangerous situation, all kinds of lie should be told. So for me white lies and some other kinds of lies are okay and acceptable.

A lie is a lie. Whatever color -- black, white, brown, green -- it's still a lie. White lies are meant for the good but it still is lying and lying is a sin.

hello,white lies are lies that the people who did benefits as well as others,in different situations.if telling white lies protects us,our loveones or whoever is involve close to us and if it saves us from trouble or in danger,then there's nothing wrong with it,yes its still a lie and a sin,but that is why its called white lies because it helps and saves in some other way.just dont make it a habbit coz in the long run we'll end up living with all lies...good day! :)

Actually,,lying is a bad thing. But there is a way to make that thing become a good thing. And that is you call white lies. You lie for a good purpose and with that lie you help somebody. So i think its a good think to do

As a child I have lied until I grown up and I don't lie. There is no need the Lord says in His law "Thou Shalt Not Lie". It does not say in there that we should not tell white, pink, purple or blue lies. It's not to lie at all. I feel that if a person has the need to lie they have low self eesteem. There is not reason to lie and I feel that the truth may hurt but I would rather be hurt by the truth than to be hurt by a lie. If someone lies to me then I would not be able to trust them. Lying is a SIN in the Lord's eyes and it's wrong wrong wrong. It's not right its wrong!

I believe that everybody is responsible for their action. So whatever they did, it's their own responsibility.

I don't everything is as black and white. I feel that if you bend the truth to protect someone's feelings there's nothing wrong with it. I figure God will forgive me on judgement day because I'm putting other peoples feelings before my own, and in the end, I think that's what life is about.

No, charlenmendoza, white lies is the same as talking behind someones back, and I hate that. I rather say to someone what I think in the face, that is more accurate and true. I have used whit lies to my kids, when they were small. But that did not hurt them, some thins they did not have to know. But now, I am always true and never use any lies. The truth will win in the end, and the lie will only come and hunt you.

telling white lies is not about whether you commit sin or not but whether you can do something for the good of others. white lies require judgement and one should weigh things first before telling so, which of course should favor the "good". if it doesn't, then it's not a white lie at all. even so, you still have to ask yourself, "is there a need? or should i just tell the truth?" for extreme situations, most of the time, white lies cannot be avoided. if you know what's right, then there's no reason to hesitate to lie because even if it is a lie, you have the reasons why you have to tell so. there's always room for explanation and apology, and much like you said, there's forgiveness, which i'm sure is understandable, if not now, then only time can tell. at least, you've done your part for the better.

A white lie is still a lie... Yes some people may say that some people believe that its worth a little lie to may someone happy... Well there is still a way to talk to someone without bringing up the specific subject.. and if the person wants to talk about the subject and will not leave it alone.. Tell the person the truth, and it if the person does not like that truth... May be the next time the person will drop a subject when you tell them that you do not want to talk about it.. Forgiveness forgives the action, but it does not erase the sin...

According to the bible all lying is sinful, but hey who am I to quote the bible. I say let's be realistic sometimes you have to lie I mean you don't have to but sometimes if you don't lie horrible things happen (speaking from experience) so if you are religous and you feel bad for lying I say go ahead an ask for forgiveness, I mean it couldn't hurt right?

I do not believe in "sins" or any religion for that fact. I feel it is a waste of time worshipping something I dont know exists or not. But, I do however believe in honesty. Honesty should always be spoken, and nothing but honesty. If more people in the world spoke out of true honesty, the world would be very peaceful.

lies is lies whatever it is white or not.I really want to know what the reason why you can't tell other the fact.I think all person need to face to face and heart to heart.I will tell you all fact and have no any lies and you can tell me all fact too and have no any lies.If you can not accept the fact,I will try my best to help you and explain it.But I will not lie you.Do you agree?

I agree with you.White is lie,but in some situation it is necessary.It is very difficult to see person who never tells a lie in his whole life.I do lie and as such I only lie when I really need to.In situation we have to tell lie to escape from some serious problems.There is nothing wrong in telling lies,if it not hurt any one.

A sin is still a sin no matter ho you put it. Having said that, I am not against these kind of sin because often times this is done to protect or prevent a more serious sin to be committed.

white lies are still considered lies because it is a form of deception but man has to use it as a functional role in social interaction. In some instances, it is not always seen as bad as we need to maintain social order. whether we like it or not we have to. yes it's a lie which can be done to avoid offense and to avoid any harmful consequence of what is true. I do deceive too sometimes to do my work effectively and efficiently and to protect the feelings of others and just like you I ask for forgiveness as it is the only way to set me free.

I do not agree with you. I will say white lie if necessary. I think sometimes a truth may create bigger issues and a white lie can solve the hole problem. Then saying white lie is not bad. I think if you are not doing any wrong things then its ok to lie. People should always try to help each other. If someone lie is going to benefit someone a bit and not harming anyone then there is no problem. For example suppose that someone of your near and dear is in critical condition and you know that doctor have said him not to take tension or any stress. If he does not follow that then the result may be savvier. In this situation if he ask you something and you know that if you don't lie then he will take stress. So what will you do? Will you not lie? Will you want to be statue of honesty and loose the person. So a lie said for the good reasons is not a bad thing at all.

I agree with you completely! I dont think any lies benefit anyone! Sometimes what people think is a 'white' lie actually causes a lot of hurt in the end. I think honesty is definitely the way to go. I do know people who say that not tellings someone something is 'lying by omission' but I dont believe that. I think if you dont tell someone something, you are just withholding information. As long as you dont tell them that you dont know it, you arent lying!

I think it is not because you are supporting the your friend for her own good and I know you make white lies because it is really needed for her.I know we just sometimes used it if the need arises and if not we dont. It is a sin if yopu usually do and you know its not fair to everyone.
