"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
- 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

My imaginary friend Bob doesn't lie either. He says you should bet your house that the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series.

So, God makes people not believe just so he can torture them for eternity for not believing?
If you see no problem with this, you don't have the right to even use the word "morality".

"He either can send a decieving influence to those who refuse the truth, or He may harden or blind them further"
'What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church...a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them.'
-Martin Luther
'If you eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, thou shalt surely
die.'
But the serpent told Eve that they
wouldn't.
Did Eve - and ultimately Adam - die instantaneously once they bit into that fruit, it containing an ultra-powerful neurotoxin, which - at the speed of electro-chemical neurotransmission - ended the lives of A&E, there and then?
No. Therefore, a question:
How can knowledge kill? Who is the 'Liar'?!
PROTIP: 9th Commandment.
...
only religious 'belief' is killed, it seems. Also, it seems, from the point of view from religious fundies - especially their pastors - the only 'sin' is
thinking for yourself, just as Jonathan Edwards did (but he doing so, and becoming an Atheist didn't kill him there & then. He's still here.
Why?!).
Thus is the
real mystery of the Bible revealed:
Lucifer is actually the good guy in all of this ('Lucifer' means 'Bringer of Light': Illumination. Especially knowledge).
Ergo, your 'God of
Love' is actually the
Evil One:
Isiah 45:7: 'I form the light, and
create darkness: I make peace, and
create evil: I the LORD do all these things.'
Amos 3:6: 'Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city,
and Yahweh hasn't done it?'
He even admits it in his own 'Word', no less.
