I just want everyone to know that I don't and haven't taken offense to anything Willie has stated in this thread. Honestly I'm not a fan of name calling or labeling but after the last election there has been a lot of that going on. I digress... the point I am trying to make now is that I am a firm believer of the agree to disagree.
I have found many times that we on different sides can sometimes be saying the same thing using different words or having a different understanding. I am a firm believer in the 10 commandments as I do believe they are the rules given by God written in stone with His own finger to show us that we are in need of a Savior and that they don't save us but show us our need of Jesus.
Thou shalt not lie/bear false witness is one of the 10. God said/wrote it I believe it and many times He also asked us to obey I believe that too. It won't be a free for all in the earth made new after sin and death has been done away with. God's rules will still apply.
It's o.k. if Willie wants to believe the way he wants to as we are all created with free will and we each have our opinions.
I'm not mad or trying to cause a fight etc. Just stating my belief and/or opinion doesn't make me any more right or wrong than Willie and same goes for his opinion.
I still stand by it is really never o.k. to lie the truth is always better as if you know a person is trying to always be honest you are more apt to trust the words that come out of their mouth. If you have caught them in a lie it makes it harder to trust them.
Even the Bible says the truth will set you free.
So if I have offended you Willie or angered you in any way I am truly sorry but I have enjoyed the discussion this thread has promoted and I still have a friend in Willie and hope he feels the same way. Because at most times I can agree to disagree.

The Egyptians could not have killed Moses when the princess took him out of the Nile because that would have been against their law. They believed that if you were thrown in the Nile to drown and came out alive, you could not been harmed. You were set free. Pharoh would have transgressed his own laws if he ordered his people to kill Moses.
The other point to consider is that the princess knew that Moses was a Hebrew baby, and maybe the princess knew that there was a relation between Moses and his sister. It is definitely not clear from the Bible.
