Daubenmire, who has been an ardent Moore supporter for years and even interviewed Moore on his program back in 2013, likened Moores efforts to become a U.S. senator from Alabama to using misdirection in a football game, employing subterfuge during a military battle or hiding Jews from the Nazis, saying that deception and dishonesty in such endeavors is acceptable because doing so furthers a greater good.
When I hear people say, Well, Judge Moore is not worthy of the office if hes lying about what he did, I want to grab em and I want to slap em upside the stinking head, Daubenmire said. Judge Moore is trying to infiltrate an ungodly system and the stakes in this campaign are so great for the cause of Christ and Judge Moore is being lambasted by the holier-than-thou Christians who think [the Bible] says we can never lie.
Its best to lie if it advances the kingdom of God, Daubenmire stated. There, I said it.

(12,673 posts)It's obviously far more important for you to get your way than to follow your own God's words...
I wonder what sort of psychotic bullies raised you that you think your creator will be A-Okay with your lies, cheating, stealing or murder as long as you end up on top and say you're doing it for Him - even though his rule book expressly indicates these are wrong and mortal sins that will send you to Hell.

(1,148 posts)besides the "bearing false witness" part. I am sure there is something in there that pertains to this type of lie. Certainly, there is stuff about pride, and so many of these fundies are guilty of THAT sin. For example, Isaiah 2:12:
"12 The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)". Also James 4:6 "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."
Gonna have to go back to my own Bible studies to refute these people.

" Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless."
biblestudytools.com is a great source. It's sickening how so many of these RW religious folks don't know scripture.
