As you can see, Wayne, some of your posts are coming through a bit hard to
read.
With all our "poor" understanding, it still seems pretty clear to me that
God told Moses to tell Pharoah what is, at best, a 1/2 truth, and so deceive
Pharoah to some extent. I'm looking at Ex 7:14-16, but there are a number of
similar passages.
That the deception is warranted is not the question -- after all, even those
opposed to Fletcher's book on situational ethics would agree it is right to
lie to the Gestapo about the Jewish neighbors in your basement. I suppose
one could argue that in all cases the writer only was reporting PART of what
the Lord said to tell Pharoah, but this seems like special pleading.
