Is Lying Acceptable? If I tell someone a lie about the Gospel is that acceptable in the eyes of God? If the Kingdom expands and more righteous people come to the Father was the lie I told really a sin? When, if ever, is lying acceptable if we are attempting to spread the Gospel and expand the Kingdom?
