AB - The Lies are prohibited ethical problems in the Bible. Because of God is faithful so he never accept it. However we can find easily the lie that writer never judges. Commonly it concerned to good lies(so called 'white lies'). Why the Bible is keeping silents about it? Is it mean exceptions? Or ethical criteria of the Bible is handling by context like situation ethics? The Bible says the cause of silent is neither unconcern nor contradictions. Rather the Bible is questioning to us "what is important thing? purpose or processing?". If purpose is important it should be nothing, but processing is important it is wrong also. But the Bible is keeping silents also. We can see same problems also in Rahab's narrative(Joshua 2:1-7). Surely Rahab told lie. But YHWH never rebuked her and punished. Is it mean God accept white lie? If somebody want to keep faith through lie, is it wrong or wright? At any late the Bible said Rahab was saved by her faith. I wanna to make conclusion by mentioned Asa Mahan's opinion about it. Asa Mahan's thinking is not completely one but one of solutions.
