What does God say?As one might imagine, God--being truth itself--is a big fan of truth in practice:
The Bible on TruthProverbs 12:22 : Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
Ephesians 4:25: Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
2 Timothy 2:15 : Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
Ephesians 4:15 : Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
John 8:32: And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
