If you think what he said is forgivable, then forgive him. But confess your lies, unless you'd rather burn in the firing pit of hell.

Sorry to worry you like that. I am only quoting from a Hadees. But think about it, do you really want to go on lying. One lie could create a million lies. Think of your situation like that.

God bless,

i doubt ima burn in hell for one lie??? please dont tell m i m thts a lil rude???

Apologies. But according to my belief, everyone who does lie will. You don't have to believe if you find it 'rude' =].

weve all lied before or will in the future so i dont think were goign to burn in hell. I mean if you lie everytime you talk to someone then thats different. We all do sins and god wanted us to do sins so we can learn from our mistakes so dont tell us were going to burn in hell for a lie or sin.

I believe in God but Ive lied and done sins and God still loves me as much as he did in teh beginning because Im learning to me more mature.

Hope this made sense.. Who believes what I said.. That we learn from our lies and sins?

i do

No matter how much someone hurts you, there should be room for forgiveness. As for him liking you...just try to be friends for awhile and build up a healthy friendship!!

well you have to be willing to forgive him because you believe he is being sincere, cause if not then why forgive. But if you think he is really sorry then live and forgive ;) I mean you apparently did something out of spite and revenge and lied about it so you might want to think, what would he do if he really knew you did it...would he forgive you? I mean you have to make the decision that is in your best interest not the interests of others. I am not sure if I buy the whole I did it cause I liked ya and I was scared bit because if he really liked you why do something so mean that would make you stop going to school? That is pretty harsh. Lots to consider.

4ever: “We all do sins and god wanted us to do sins so we can learn from our mistakes so don’t tell us were going to burn in hell for a lie or sin”.

-Er, no, love. God does not 'want' us to sin. If God 'wanted' us to sin, don't you think people would advantage that and sin or lie all the time to benefit them? Even if they did, would they be learning from their ‘mistakes’? I think not. We all commit sins, I do, and I know that. Now, I don’t know about your faith or beliefs, but when I say “would you rather burn in the firing pit of hell”, you evidently disagreed. And hey, that’s absolutely fine, except you didn’t bother reading the previous comment: “I am only quoting from a Hadees.” Having said that, I don’t know where you got the idea of me ‘telling’ you that you will certainly burn in hell for such abominations. Like I said: “You don’t have to believe if you find it rude =].” Now, if I were you, I would gather all of the correct facts and then type an argument against the opposing view.

4ever: “I believe in God but Ive lied and done sins and God still loves me as much as he did in teh beginning because Im learning to me more mature.”

-As previously stated, I agree with ‘making mistakes and learning from them’. But rather than suggesting that God loves you because you mature from making them, wouldn’t you agree that God would love you more if you avoided them and rather helped others to do so as well? I’m not saying you do or don’t avoid mistakes, as I don’t know you and we’re all human. Plus, who knows whether you are unknowingly committing a sin aside from God? After all, he is the only one aside from your mother who knows you more than yourself. Perhaps you agree, maybe not…I can’t do much about that, really.

he panicked. you can't blame him. but still he probably isn't a smooth or quick thinker, which is why you got hurt. he wasn't thinking right. talk it out and then consider forgiveness. simple. :)
