What a wicked Web

The title is the begging part a famous poetic saying, “Oh what a wicked web we weave, when we first practice to deceive “

Which implies that when we lie on purpose, we continue to need to lie more and more, in order that others don’t find out the first lie

I have often heard that lying is a Sin, because it’s one of the Ten Commandments, but I looked it up and that is Not what the Commandment says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” this what is written

Therefore, the act of lying itself is not the sin, it’s lying against you neighbour

But lying is not just saying something that’s untrue it can also be living a lie, which might be where this idea of a wicked web comes into play

Where someone may tell a lie in order to gain or impress others, and then continue that lie by pretending they are what they lied about or what they said they had

So, what is a lie?

There are many who would say they only Fib, others who say they only tell White lies

As an Elder of a church once said a “Lie is a Lie, whatever you label it with”

 Also lies Don’t come in shades of colour, or lesser untruthfulness

Property preacher living a Lie, at the same time twist the truth to suit what their audience wants to hear, as they have itchy ears

Although the leaders of the property movement call themselves “Preachers” what they supposed preach, is designed to fleece their flock of as much money as possible in all meetings

Not to Feed the flock, the flock being the thousands that all too willingly get sucked into believing all the lies
