I finally have something that I liked enough from Day By Day with the Early Church Fathers to put on here. We just talked about this very thing yesterday.
Paul says, "If the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie." He distinguishes between "my lie" and "God's truth." Therefore, when people live according to the truth, they live according to their God and not their own ideas.
We were made to do God's will and not our own. To not live as we were made to live is to live a lie... Therefore, all sin is a lie. All sin is committed by our desire for a good life and our fear of pain. But the things we do for a good life are lies that make us even more miserable than ever before.
