Islam: A Religion of Lies...

Where in the bible does it say lying is unacceptable?

Here?

And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive? And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives.

God rewarded lying in this case

Here?

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him ... I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him and prevail also; go forth and do so.

Again, approved and rewarded

Here?

And Elisha said unto him, go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the Lord hath showed me that he shall surely die.

Was God displeased with this lie?

Here?

Was not Rahab, the harlot, justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?.

Another lie, approved and rewarded

Does God lie?

For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

And if a prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet.

What's this? God commands a lie

"And it came to pass when I was come near to enter into Egypt, the Lord said unto me: Behold, Sarai, thy wife, is a very fair woman to look upon; Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see her, they will say-She is his wife; and they will kill you, but they will save her alive; therefore see that ye do on this wise: Let her say unto the Egyptians, she is thy sister, and thy soul shall live

Do you want to revisit your first post and put what you said beside what your own bible says is acceptable or not acceptable?
