Lying is definitely wrong...
but when it comes to deception that is very different..the Bible doesn't say 'Thou shall not deceive."
Example: sports
Deception of the opponent is the goal of sports, of they knew where you were going they would prevent it, so dekes in hockey and getting faked out or thrown off in basketball, football, baseball is a skill...is it wrong? I honestly stopped playing sports for a while because of this.
Jesus came to a celebration in secret, people did not recognize him at first...(not saying this in support of halloween--still considering what I believe on that holiday of dressing up)...the point being that they were deceived in who that person was that actually was Jesus...
Lastly, this last example also suggests that secrets are not evils unless they are...
So are secrets wrong? How about good secrets?
May the LORD be with all of you
(I do love good secrets...)
