#01
CYBER LIE:
If you want something, just take it.
PARAPHRASE:
Don't take things that don't belong to you.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that we can't use anything made of steel or other iron
alloys?
WRONG GUESS:
It talks about stealing, but can't I "borrow" something without
asking, and "forget" to bring it back?
WRONG GUESS:
Okay, don't steal, but if I feel that it really should belong to me,
then I can go ahead and take it?
WRONG GUESS:
Stealing doesn't mean that I can't take something if I need it real
bad.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that I should respect other people's property, and not
take something that doesn't belong to me?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
When the Bible said "Do not steal", it meant exactly what it said. 
It's easy to make excuses, and pretend that it isn't really doing
something wrong, but stealing is stealing.  Remember, you wouldn't
want anyone to steal from you.
VERSE:
Exodus 20:15 - Thou shalt not steal.

#02
CYBER LIE:
The government will eventually solve the problems of the poor, so you
don't have to care about them.

out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he
shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he
hath taken.

#04
CYBER LIE:
Everyone has always wanted to be the boss.
VERSE:
Judges 8:23 - And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you,
neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

#05
PARAPHRASE:
Don't bounce back and forth between the world and God!  Believe in
God because He really IS GOD!  that way you will cover yourself and
one of them will probably be right.
CYBER LIE:
It's a good idea to keep a foot in Christianity and a foot in the
world, that way you'll be successful in both places.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
How can you have two opposite opinions at the same time?  If you
believe in God, then obey Him.
VERSE:

long halt ye between two opinions?  If the LORD be God, follow him:

VERSE:
I Chronicles 10:13 - So Saul died for his transgression which he
committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which
he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar
spirit, to inquire of it;

#07
CYBER LIE:
The Bible is dumb because it talks about animals that don't exist
(God wouldn't know about dinosaurs and their huge tails).
VERSE:
Job 40:17-19 - He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his
stones are wrapped together.  His bones are as strong pieces of
brass; his bones are like bars of iron.  He is the chief of the ways
of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

VERSE:
Psalms 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.

#09
VERSE:
Psalms 141:9a - Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me,

#10
PARAPHRASE:
Listen to your teachers!  It may keep you from disgrace!

Teachers are a drag; you'll do great without them.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean there's no hope in education?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that school ruined me?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean I can't teach myself anything?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that if I listen to those who care for me and are
trying to teach me in the Lord, then I will be a better person?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
This verse is an example of someone who didn't listen to his
teachers, and got in a lot of trouble later on in life.  It shows
that if we listen to Godly instruction we will avoid many problems in
our lives.
VERSE:
Proverbs 5:12-14 - And say, How have I hated instruction, and my
heart despised reproof; And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,

CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
People can explore and discover what's right and wrong for
themselves, and then replace antiquated beliefs as society evolves.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that since we are going to die we can do whatever we
want?
WRONG GUESS:
If I do what's right, am I still going to die?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that God hates "right-wing" politics?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that I can have ideas that seem good, but can still hurt
me?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Sometimes what we think is right is really wrong and brings
catastrophe into our life.  Only God's way leads to life!
VERSE:
Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but
the end thereof are the ways of death.

satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;
for he shall bear their iniquities.

#19
CYBER LIE:
You have to be careful not to catch God in a bad mood.
PARAPHRASE:
If it wasn't for God's love, we'd be "crispy-critters".
VERSE:
Lamentations 3:22 - It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not
consumed, because his compassions fail not.

#20
CYBER LIE:
Things have to be going well for you to be "happy in Jesus".
VERSE:
Habakkuk 3:17-18 - Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither
shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and

into action.
CYBER LIE:
Believing Jesus' words are good enough; you don't actually have to
live by them.

obey Jesus' words:
VERSE:
Matthew 7:24-25 - Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon a rock.

family again.

the end shall be saved.

#24
PARAPHRASE:
God will someday clean out all of the evil from His kingdom, and then
those evil people will know that they didn't get away with what they
did.
CYBER LIE:
If you go to hell, so what.  You can party with your friends.
WRONG GUESS:
Since we all have sinned, does this mean we are all going to hell?
WRONG GUESS:
We will be able to see Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego there, right?
WRONG GUESS:
Dentist's won't use pain killers in hell.

ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always

are coming to worship Him.
VERSE:
Matthew 21:13 - And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be
called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Don't believe anyone who says "I am Christ" or "I am God".  There are
lots of people trying to deceive you.

This must mean that there are lots of Christs we can follow.

This means we have no way of knowing who the true Messiah is.
CORRECT GUESS:
This means we need to examine the Bible to see the truth and not be
deceived.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Jesus is saying that there are "spiritual leaders" who claim to be
God or a god, or a special "holy one" and they are fooling people
into following them.  Be careful that you're not fooled.
VERSE:
Matthew 24:4-5 - And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed
that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I

VERSE:
Romans 1:20 - For the invisible things of him from the creation of
the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse:

#33
CYBER LIE:
You don't have to say Jesus is Lord to be saved.  It's okay to keep
your Christianity a secret.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
What do I have to do to get saved?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean I have to be a preacher in order to go to heaven?
WRONG GUESS:
Does that mean that deaf and dumb people can't be saved?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that if my parrot says "Jesus is Lord" then it's saved?

If I believe Jesus rose from the dead and tell people that He is Lord
of my life, then I will be saved?

God wants us to believe and to express that we believe that Jesus is
Lord and that He rose from the dead.  If we do this, He says we will
be saved.

If you believe Jesus rose from the dead and tell people that He is
Lord, then you will be saved!
VERSE:

good manners.

WRONG GUESS:
Will mouthwash solve this problem?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that all of these things have to go before I can
accept Jesus into my life?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean I can't be around anyone who swears?
CORRECT GUESS:
After we accept Jesus into our lives, He wants to help us start
removing these sinful things from our lives.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants to help us stop doing all things that hinder our Christian
life.

correcting and helping us to be good.
CYBER LIE:
The Bible is just a musty, old book.  It's useless!

don't think that God wrote it or that it's very relevant to us today.
VERSE:

effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in
Christ Jesus.

doesn't think that I'm bad!

#01
CYBER LIE:
You're just a worthless bag of chemicals and water, no different from
the animals.

God was talking to His wife when He said "Our".

CORRECT GUESS:
It sounds like God's plan was to create us to be like Him and to rule
over the creatures of this world.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:

else.  He saved man for last, as the crown of His creation to watch
over and govern the creatures of this world in the same way as He
watches over and governs all things.
VERSE:
Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the

VERSE:

neighbour.

that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that

#06
CYBER LIE:
If you're going to be somebody important, you have to look important.
PARAPHRASE:
A man's thoughts and intentions are more important to God, than mere
physical appearances.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that my appearance won't matter when I go to church?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we shouldn't care how our lives look to those
around us?
WRONG GUESS:
Since man looks at the outward appearance, this is the only way to
move up in business.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that God looks at me in a different way, on the
inside, and He wants to see my motives?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
What the Bible is telling us is that God looks at us in a very
different way than man does.  He doesn't look at the outward
appearance only, but He looks within us to see our true motives.  To
Him this is much more important.  God is looking for people who are
committed to Him.
VERSE:
I Samuel 16:7 - But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his
countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused
him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the

your life.
WRONG GUESS:
Listen to your dad but not your mom.
WRONG GUESS:
Your mom will help you win the Olympics.
WRONG GUESS:
It sounds like parents know everything.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does God mean that we really can learn from our parents?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Many times when we are going through problems it seems that no one
has ever been in the same condition.  God wants us to know that our
parents can really help.  They have gone down that road many times
before and know where the potholes are.  We need to use their wisdom.
VERSE:
Proverbs 1:8-9 - My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and

a stranger, and not thine own lips.

anymore.
VERSE:

hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will

The righteous who die early are spared from future problems.
VERSE:
Isaiah 57:1 - The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart:
and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous
is taken away from the evil to come.

#17
CYBER LIE:
Abortionists are simply removing inconsequential tissue.
PARAPHRASE:
God knows who we are and what He wants us to become, even before
conception.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that my parents had nothing to do with my birth?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that something was wrong with me that God had to fix.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that God made my parts someplace else and just assembled
them in my mother?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that I was really created by God?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Many people today disagree about when we become a person and not just
tissue attached to our mother.  What really matters is what God says!
He tells us He knew us even before He formed us in our mother's womb.
VERSE:
Jeremiah 1:5a - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee,

#18
CYBER LIE:
It's possible to get away with sin if you're really careful.
VERSE:
Jeremiah 16:17 - For my eyes are upon all their ways: they are not
hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

#19
CYBER LIE:
Famines are ALWAYS just an act of nature.

of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously,
then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff

man and beast from it:

#20
CYBER LIE:
God has no power, He's a wimp!
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean God's on a power trip?
WRONG GUESS:
Angels are in big trouble because God just wants to push them around.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we can't ask God questions?
CORRECT GUESS:
I guess this means that God knows better than we do.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Here in the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar gives praise to the
true King, God Himself, as he realizes just how far God is above
anything else.  God is truly supreme.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
I'm not sure that even God is stronger than those cybers out there.
VERSE:
Daniel 4:35 - And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as
nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven,
and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand,
or say unto him, What doest thou?

#21
CYBER LIE:
Undressing someone in your mind isn't committing adultery.
VERSE:
Matthew 5:27-28 - Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever
looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart.

#22
CYBER LIE:
It's okay to hold on to grudges.
PARAPHRASE:
If you want to be forgiven, you have to forgive.
WRONG GUESS:
This must mean I can't be forgiven.
WRONG GUESS:
The Bible says only God can forgive sins!
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that God blackmails us?
CORRECT GUESS:
I guess this means that I need to have a forgiving heart.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
This is another time in scripture when Jesus was teaching something
very basic.  We must forgive in the same way that God forgives.  If
we don't, we're just telling God not to forgive us.  He wants us to
be like Jesus and to treat others as He does.
VERSE:
Matthew 6:15 - But if ye forgive men not their trespasses, neither
will your father forgive you your trespasses.

#23
CYBER LIE:
Only people who lived in Jesus' town and saw Him do miracles would
believe in Him.
VERSE:
Matthew 13:57 - And they were offended in him.  But Jesus said unto
them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and
in his own house.

#24
CYBER LIE:
When another Christian sins against you, you should immediately call
your prayer group and tell all of them to pray for him.

go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall

Matthew 22:30 - For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

#26
CYBER LIE:
God is unjust, because there's no way everyone will ever hear the
Gospel.
VERSE:
Matthew 24:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end
come.

#27
CYBER LIE:
Real Christians never get depressed.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus was a depressed person, in need of psychiatric help.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus was very insecure.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus was afraid of death.
CORRECT GUESS:
It sounds like Jesus felt many of the same things we do.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants us to realize that He isn't off someplace detached and
without any feelings.  In this verse, Jesus shows His feelings as He
is aware that soon He will be taking our sins upon Himself and going
to the cross.  As Christians, we need to stay awake and never forget
what He has done.
VERSE:
Matthew 26:38 - Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

#28
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
I don't think that God's even aware of me.  I'd bet that he doesn't
even know that I've gone bald from worry.
PARAPHRASE:
From insignificant matters to the important aspects of our lives, God
is aware of everything that happens in us and to us.
VERSE:
Luke 12:6-7a - Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not
one of them is forgotten before God?  But even the very hairs of your
head are all numbered.

CYBER LIE:
He who dies with the most toys wins.
VERSE:
Luke 12:20 - But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which
thou hast provided?

#30
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
But you don't understand!  When I left God, He rejected me and now
He'll never take me back, even if I repent.
WRONG GUESS:
Once the son sinned he was his father's slave.
WRONG GUESS:
The father really didn't care that the son had sinned.  He must have
thought sin was okay.
WRONG GUESS:
If you're going to sin, don't let God catch you.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we get these special shoes when we get to heaven?
CORRECT GUESS:
It looks like the father was willing to forgive quickly.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
When we repent and turn to God, we may be overcome with guilt over
the evil things that we have done.  God, however, is quick to forgive
us and is overjoyed by our arrival.  We should never stay away from
God because we think that He won't forgive us.  His love and mercy
are greater than we can imagine.
VERSE:
Luke 15:21-22 - And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called
thy son.  But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best
robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his
feet:

#31
CYBER LIE:
Jesus was a lunatic.  All Christians are insane.
VERSE:
John 10:20-21 - And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad;
why hear ye him?  Others said, These are not the words of him that
hath a devil.  Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

#32
CYBER LIE:
Don't read the Bible, it won't help you.
PARAPHRASE:
The Word of God opens the way to salvation.
WRONG GUESS:
Righteousness is something that is written about but cannot be
attained.
WRONG GUESS:
Gentiles are second class in the things of God.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that anyone who has this thing called faith will never
die of old age?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that the words of God and trusting in His words will
give me spiritual life?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God tells us in the Bible that His Word is actually alive.  The Word
brought God's creation into existence.  Trusting in His Word brings
us into His presence.  Faith in His Word brings us to salvation and
everlasting life.
VERSE:
Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it
is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to
the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  For therein is the
righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.

Everybody is going to hell.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that we fall down before God?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that sinners can't walk?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that everybody has done wrong things?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants us to realize that you and I and everyone else are sinners
and don't measure up to what we should be.  The fact is, none of us
measure up at all.  But God has provided a means of forgiveness and
cleansing: Jesus!
VERSE:
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned,and come short of the glory of God.

#34

for a service.

Christ?  shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the
members of an harlot?  God forbid.

#35
CYBER LIE:
God won't give you faith!
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
I don't have enough faith, and how can I make myself believe if I
don't have faith to begin with?
VERSE:
Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

#36
VERSE:
Ephesians 6:16 - Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

#37
VERSE:
Ephesians 6:17b - the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

dead like anyone else.

also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change
our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,
according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things
unto himself.

#40
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:

watch out for myself.
VERSE:
I Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

There must not be many Christians in the world.
CORRECT GUESS:
It sounds like God is pleased when He sees people living like He
wants.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
All through the Bible, over and over again, God continues to tell us
that He will care for us and protect us.  He's always looking for new
ways to help His people.
VERSE:
II Chronicles 16:9a - For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of
them whose heart is perfect toward him.

#07
CYBER LIE:
Satan threw God off of His throne, and now rules the universe.
PARAPHRASE:
God is above all, and rules from heaven.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that God is isolated?
WRONG GUESS:
Does that mean that God just sits there doing nothing?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that God is far away, and isn't relevant to my life?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that God is still in charge, even if things seem messed
up down here?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
As we go through our lives, we may often wonder whether God has lost
control.  Good things happen to us, bad things happen to us, we ask
"Why me?"  Sometimes we don't seem to have the answers, but through
it all God is still on His throne, His WILL will be done in the end,
and He hasn't forgotten us.
VERSE:
Psalms 11:4a - The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is
in heaven:

#08
VERSE:
Psalms 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.

#09
VERSE:
Psalms 141:9a - Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me,

#10
CYBER LIE:
God is only interested in strong, powerful people that He can use,
but He doesn't really care if they put their hope in Him.
PARAPHRASE:
God is not impressed with people's strength or power, but He really
enjoys those who put their trust in Him.
VERSE:
Psalms 147:10-11 - He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he
taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.  The LORD taketh pleasure
in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

#11
CYBER LIE:
Having "understanding" or "discretion" isn't going to keep you from
ending up evil, just like all of the other creeps.
PARAPHRASE:
God will give you good sense and understanding that will protect you
from becoming evil.
VERSE:
Proverbs 2:11-12 - Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding
shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from
the man that speaketh froward things;

#12
CYBER LIE:
Giving in to sexual immorality won't hurt you!
VERSE:
Proverbs 6:26 - For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a
piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

#13
CYBER LIE:
Don't bring more children into an unsafe world, God's not going to
protect them.
PARAPHRASE:
When you live your life for God, you will find safety and your
children will also be safe and secure.
VERSE:
Proverbs 14:26 - In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and
his children shall have a place of refuge.

#14
CYBER LIE:
Drink all the booze you want; it won't effect you.
PARAPHRASE:
People who drink too much are fools.
VERSE:
Proverbs 20:1 - Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and
whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

#15
CYBER LIE:
Sometimes you have to sacrifice your health to gain wealth.
PARAPHRASE:
Use good wisdom, don't strive for riches.
VERSE:
Proverbs 23:4 - Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

#16
CYBER LIE:
People never act bad just because they decide to act bad, it's always
their environment.
PARAPHRASE:
Evil people often do not turn away from their wickedness.  Even when
they are shown kindness, they do not acknowledge the supremacy and
goodness of God.
VERSE:
Isaiah 26:10 - Let favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not
learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal
unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

#17
CYBER LIE:
Jesus came to steal from the poor people, put them in jail and to
make people feel bad.
PARAPHRASE:
God anointed Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit to bring the good news
of salvation, healing, comfort and freedom to all who believe in Him.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that God is always on Jesus' back?
WRONG GUESS:
Was this the start of some sort of Peace group?  Or Save the
Hippopotamus, or some other group like that?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that God doesn't care about regular people?
CORRECT GUESS:
It sounds like God really does care about us, especially in our
difficulties.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
This is the same scripture that Jesus used when He went to the
synagogue in Nazareth.  At that time He made the claim that this
scripture was fulfilled.  When Jesus came into the world, He
fulfilled all of God's plans.  We can look to Jesus for all of the
needs in our lives.
VERSE:
Isaiah 61:1 - The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

#18
CYBER LIE:
God gets a kick out of killing bad people.
PARAPHRASE:
The Lord desires for the wicked to turn from their evil ways and does
not take delight in their death.
WRONG GUESS:
It sounds like God doesn't care if people are bad or not.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that only the wicked people will die?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that everyone in Israel is bad?
CORRECT GUESS:
This sounds to me like God wants His People to stop sinning.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God's desire is that all people would turn back from their wickedness
and return to Him.  This death is not one of the body only, but also
is separation from God.  God wants us to repent, in other words, turn
around and go away from those evil things.
VERSE:
Ezekiel 33:11 - Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have
no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from
his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will
ye die, O house of Israel?

#19
CYBER LIE:
People's actions can't avert God's wrath once He's pronounced it.
PARAPHRASE:
When God saw the Ninevites repent of their sinfulness, He forgave
them and did not carry through with His plan to destroy them.
VERSE:
Jonah 3:10 - And God saw their works, that they turned from their
evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he
would do unto them; and he did it not.

#20
CYBER LIE:
It's okay to step on people who are already down.
PARAPHRASE:
Do not think unkindly against or look down upon people who are in
less fortunate situations.
VERSE:
Zechariah 7:10 - And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the
stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his
brother in your heart.

#21
CYBER LIE:
Lighten up: There are lots of ways to get to God.
PARAPHRASE:
The road to hell is wide and many go that way since it is easy to
enter, while the way to heaven is difficult and can only be entered
through the narrow gate.
WRONG GUESS:
Many people can go through a large gate.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean not to drive on freeways?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that God has shown us the only way that we can be
saved and go to heaven to be with Him?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Jesus said "I am the Way ... No one comes to the Father except
through Me."  Others have said that there are many "other" ways.  The
decision we have to make is whether to trust God or man.
VERSE:
Matthew 7:13 - Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat:

#22
CYBER LIE:
If Jesus performed miracles on earth today, then everyone would turn
away from their sins and believe in Him.
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus rebuked those people who saw His miracles and yet did not
repent.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus didn't like the people in the cities.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus called down curses on people because they didn't believe.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus loves only people who have repented.
CORRECT GUESS:
Jesus was upset because these people had seen miracles from God and
they still refused to change.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God even today answers many prayers with miracles.  Many give the
credit to the doctors, or fate, or luck, or even themselves.  They
refuse to give the credit to God.  They refuse to change.  Jesus
compared what happened to Sodom as to what will happen to these
people and said it would be much worse if they didn't change.
VERSE:
Matthew 11:20 - Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of
his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

#23
CYBER LIE:
Jesus didn't care whether people were hungry or not.
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus didn't want to send those people away hungry who had been with
Him for three days because of His compassion for them.
VERSE:
Matthew 15:32 - Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I
have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now
three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away
fasting, lest they faint in the way.

#24
CYBER LIE:
Spiritual leaders need important sounding titles, so that everyone
will know that God has made them "special".
PARAPHRASE:
We shouldn't be impressed with high and lofty titles, only God
deserves our honor and worship.
VERSE:
Matthew 23:8-9 - But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
even Christ; and all ye are brethren.  And call no man your father
upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

#25
CYBER LIE:
When Christ returns in the last days, no one is going to notice.  It
will happen secretly.
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus Christ will come again like a lightning bolt that shines from
east to west.
VERSE:
Matthew 24:27 - For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be.

#26
CYBER LIE:
Jesus wasn't the King of the Jews or the Messiah.
PARAPHRASE:
When Pilate asked Jesus whether He was the Messiah (the King of the
Jews), Jesus just said "yes."
VERSE:
Matthew 27:11 - And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor
asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?  And Jesus said
unto him, Thou sayest.

#27
CYBER LIE:
Just because you believe in Jesus, that doesn't mean that He has
accepted you into his family.
PARAPHRASE:
Just reach out and let God bring you into His family.
VERSE:
John 1:12 - But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

#28
CYBER LIE:
Christians never get arrested or killed for obeying God.
PARAPHRASE:
Those who do not truly know the Father or Jesus Christ will think
that eliminating Christians is a service to God.
VERSE:
John 16:2-3 - They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God
service.  And these things will they do unto you, because they have
not known the Father, nor me.

#29
CYBER LIE:
God can't blame you for doing bad stuff: after all, He never really
told you the rules.
PARAPHRASE:
God's law reminds of our sinfulness and keeps us accountable to Him.
WRONG GUESS:
We need to work real hard to be justified under the law.
WRONG GUESS:
Since we are under the law, we're not supposed to talk about it.
WRONG GUESS:
When we know about sin we don't have to worry about what the law says.
CORRECT GUESS:
The laws that God has given us make us aware that we are sinners.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
This scripture teaches us that just the knowledge of God's laws makes
us aware of how far we are from what He wants us to be.  No matter
how hard we try, we can never be good enough.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
See, just like I said!  Everyone is guilty!
VERSE:
Romans 3:19-20 - Now we know that what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be
stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.  Therefore
by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

#30
CYBER LIE:
You can't keep from feeling condemned, even if you're a Christian.
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus Christ brought forth the law of the Spirit of life to free us
from the bondage to sin and death.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
I didn't know becoming a Christian could be that simple.  Do you mean
that I never have to feel condemned by God again?
VERSE:
Romans 8:1-2 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made
me free from the law of sin and death.

#31
CYBER LIE:
There are all sorts of things that can keep God from loving you.
PARAPHRASE:
Nothing that happens to you will keep God from loving you.
VERSE:
Romans 8:38-39 - For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.

#32
CYBER LIE:
It doesn't matter what you believe, you still need to obey every last
part of the Old Testament Law.
PARAPHRASE:
The law was to lead us to Christ, but with His arrival, we are no
longer under the supervision of it as long as we have faith in Him.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
The purpose of the Law was to lead us to Christ, not to just make us
feel guilty.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that the Ten Commandments are something God no longer
cares about?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean we need a teacher to find God?
CORRECT GUESS:
I guess this means that the laws in the Old Testament were made to
point us to Jesus.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God put the Law into effect so we could see our wrongs.  Imagine what
would happen if the roads we travel had no speed signs, no one would
know the right speed to go.  The problem is that people see the signs
and ignore them.  God sent Jesus to pay the fine for our disobedience
and our wrongs.
VERSE:
Galatians 3:24-25 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring
us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.  But after that
faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

#33
CYBER LIE:
Go ahead and sow seeds of sin; you can repent later and God will take
care of any damage done.
PARAPHRASE:
We must not think that the way that we live will have no effect on
our eternal life.
VERSE:
Galatians 6:7-8 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

#34
VERSE:
Ephesians 6:16 - Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

#35
VERSE:
Ephesians 6:17b - the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

#36
CYBER LIE:
Look out for number one: you're the only person that matters in the
whole world.
PARAPHRASE:
God wants us to think about others and not just focus on ourselves.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that I should never think of myself?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean I'm worthless, everyone is better than me?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we don't need to get cleaned up to go out with
others?
CORRECT GUESS:
I think that it means that we shouldn't think of ourselves as being
better than anyone else.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Paul was using the life of Jesus as an example to us.  He goes on to
say that Jesus made Himself nothing and took on the nature of a
servant, He humbled Himself, even to the point of death on the cross,
and He did this for me and for you.
VERSE:
Philippians 2:3 - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

#37
CYBER LIE:
Go to violent, gory, pornographic movies: you're "spiritual", you can
handle it, it's good to think about these things.
PARAPHRASE:
Christians should dwell on whatever is holy and good.
WRONG GUESS:
This must mean that we live by positive thinking only.
WRONG GUESS:
This must mean that it's okay to daydream all the time.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that I just imagine that bad things happen in this
world?
CORRECT GUESS:
It looks like God would rather have me focus on good things rather
than bad things.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Paul is impressing on us here that a man actually changes as he has
good thoughts.  Unforgiveness, Anger, Fear, Hate, and many more
things that have controlled us are like a cancer in our spiritual
lives.  God wants us to rid ourselves of these and replace them with
Love, Joy, Peace and the like.
VERSE:
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are
of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.

#38
CYBER LIE:
It doesn't matter if you actually do anything with your life.
PARAPHRASE:
We should continue on in our walk with God, being productive in good
activities, and continuing to learn about God.
VERSE:
Colossians 1:10 - That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God;

#39
CYBER LIE:
The Bible never says that Jesus was God.
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus is God!
VERSE:
Colossians 2:9 - For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.

#40
CYBER LIE:
God has a list of all of your sins, and He will never forget them or
forgive you for them.
PARAPHRASE:
While we were still sinners, God forgave us and erased the list of
all of the wrong things that we had done.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
But when Jesus died, God canceled the Law.  Jesus had fulfilled all
of the requirements of the Law for us.
VERSE:
Colossians 2:13-14 - And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it
out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

#41
CYBER LIE:
It doesn't matter what you talk about, it won't affect how you live.
PARAPHRASE:
Stay away from indulging in idle talk which leads to sinful behavior.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean it's okay as long as I don't swear more than I do now?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that I can't watch television or listen to the radio?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we only can talk about Jesus?
CORRECT GUESS:
I think this means that we need to be careful about what we say and
the way we say it.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Paul was warning believers in this group about things that cause
divisions.  Believers need to be careful that they are not putting
upon others things that cause quarreling over words.  As believers we
need to look to Jesus for the answers in our lives.
VERSE:
II Timothy 2:16 - But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will
increase unto more ungodliness.

#42
CYBER LIE:
Don't get mad, get even: show no mercy.
PARAPHRASE:
Be merciful to others if you want to be judged mercifully by God.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we are going to be judged by the law?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that God will punish me for all the past times I
haven't been kind to others?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that God isn't going to judge the world?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that God wants me to forgive people, like when Jesus
taught us in the Lord's prayer to say...forgive us AS WE forgive...?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants us to use the same set of scales when we deal with others
that we want God to use with us.  He says in another place in the
Bible that He wants us to act justly and to love mercy and to walk
humbly with our God.  We need to treat people the way we would like
to be treated.
VERSE:
James 2:12-13 - So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged
by the law of liberty.  For he shall have judgment without mercy,
that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

#43
CYBER LIE:
You don't need to respect or love anybody, even God!
PARAPHRASE:
Be respectful of everyone and give glory and honor to God.
VERSE:
I Peter 2:17 - Honour all men.  Love the brotherhood.  Fear God. 
Honour the king.

#44
CYBER LIE:
Nothing, not even almighty God, can rescue you from giving into
temptations.
PARAPHRASE:
The Lord delivers His followers from evil and keeps the wicked under
punishment until judgement day.
VERSE:
II Peter 2:9 - The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
punished:

#45
CYBER LIE:
Jesus won't clean you up: you'll always be dirty with sin.
PARAPHRASE:
When we agree with God that we have sinned.  He forgives us and makes
us clean.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Humph!  Well, we still have to get rid of sin on our own, God doesn't
help us with THAT!
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that when a person commits a crime and confesses it in
court, God automatically forgives him?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that all we need to do is tell Him we've done bad things?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that confessing our sins makes God faithful and just?
CORRECT GUESS:
It looks like if I have done wrong then I can go to God and tell Him
and He will forgive me.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
The verse before this says that if we claim that we're not sinners,
then we are only deceiving ourselves.  Everyone has sinned, and that
includes you and me!  God wants us to agree with Him and not hide it.
When we do, He completely forgives us and cleans us up.
VERSE:
I John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

#46
CYBER LIE:
You have to love God first before He'll even consider loving you.
PARAPHRASE:
God loved us much before we were able to love Him.  He loved us even
when we were unlovable.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
It's not like we can ever pay God back for our sins.  We can't even
really love Him on our own, but He does love us!
WRONG GUESS:
It doesn't matter if we love God.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that God doesn't care if we sin?
WRONG GUESS:
Could that mean that God didn't love Jesus?
CORRECT GUESS:
It sounds like God paid a very high price for the things I have done.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
John makes this statement as he is encouraging all of us.  He is
teaching us that we also should love first.  God wants us to love
people, and look for the good in them, and lift them.  He goes on to
say "since God loved us we ought to love each other."
VERSE:
I John 4:10 - Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he
loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

#01
CYBER LIE:
God neglects dealing with evil leaders.
VERSE:
Numbers 25:4 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of
the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that
the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

#02
PARAPHRASE:
We will only be successful when we live our lives God's way.
CYBER LIE:
If you do things God's way, you'll never know success: you'll be a
failure!
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that I must only think about the Bible all day long?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we better not ever make mistakes?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we will get lots of money when we obey God?
WRONG GUESS:
Success and prosperity are everything.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean we will be successful when we live our lives according
to God's way?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
As people who belong to God, we need to think about His principles at
all times.  Many people try to live their lives by their own
principles and the result is pain and frustration.  As we think and
act as He wants us to, He promises that our lives will change in a
very positive way.
VERSE:
Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou
shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

#03
CYBER LIE:
Not even God can calm your fear of death.
WRONG GUESS:
Fear is just a state of mind.
WRONG GUESS:
With positive thinking we can change anything.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus must be co-dependant to be around us all the time.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that I can trust Jesus to be around when I need him?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
As children of God, whenever we are surrounded by fears of any kind,
even the fear for our very life, we can be sure that our Lord is
walking right there with us, to remove any fear, strengthening and
giving us peace.  We need to remember that nothing, absolutely
nothing, can separate us from the love of God.
VERSE:
Psalms 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.

#04
CYBER LIE:
Wise people need to horde their money.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Well, I still say "The one who dies with the most toys, wins!"

the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

path.

You'll never be popular in school by being kind and truthful.
VERSE:
Proverbs 3:3-4 - Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them
about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt
thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

#08
CYBER LIE:
It doesn't matter whether you work hard or not.
VERSE:
Proverbs 10:4 - He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but
the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

#09
CYBER LIE:
Trusting in money makes a man strong.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
You can't trust in wealth to keep you safe and secure.
VERSE:
Proverbs 11:28 - He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the
righteous shall flourish as a branch.

#10
CYBER LIE:
The floods were great!  It was months since those bums had had a bath.
VERSE:
Proverbs 17:5 - Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he
that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

#11
CYBER LIE:
Only wimps try to get out of a fight.
PARAPHRASE:
Saying "No" to a fight doesn't mean that you are a coward, it means
that you are not a fool.
VERSE:
Proverbs 20:3 - It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but
every fool will be meddling.

#12
CYBER LIE:
Stuff your face, get drunk!  It's just a fun night out.  It won't
affect your life.
VERSE:
Proverbs 23:20-21 - Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of
flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and
drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

#13
CYBER LIE:
As long as you go to church you'll make it to heaven.
VERSE:
Isaiah 29:13 - Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw
near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have
removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught
by the precept of men:

#14
VERSE:
Isaiah 40:31a - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

#15
CYBER LIE:
God did not care that wicked people would destroy innocent children,
and did nothing to stop it.
VERSE:
Jeremiah 7:31 - And they have built the high places of Tophet, which
is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their
daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it
into my heart.

#16
CYBER LIE:
You only need to serve God when He protects you.
WRONG GUESS:
It means these guys are going to hell.
WRONG GUESS:
These guys were rebels and would not obey the law.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that these guys didn't know if God could help them or
not?
CORRECT GUESS:
I guess it means that they believed and trusted in God no matter what
the outcome was.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Many times when we pray we expect God to answer our prayers our way. 
When this doesn't happen we are disappointed.  In this Bible story,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego trusted God so much that it didn't
matter to them how He answered.  God always answers us using His
perfect wisdom.
VERSE:
Daniel 3:17-18 - If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to
deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out
of thine hand, O king.  But if not, be it known unto thee, O king,
that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which
thou hast set up.

#17
PARAPHRASE:
God wants you to be just, merciful, and humble.
CYBER LIE:
God wants you to be just, merciful, and humble, NOT!
WRONG GUESS:
Justice and mercy just come naturally.
WRONG GUESS:
When we walk with God we need to keep our head bowed.
WRONG GUESS:
Justice, mercy, and humility are all God requires of us.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that the knowledge of how to live has already been
given to me by God?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God explains to us many times in His word that talking about being
good and repenting when we have done wrong is the correct thing to
do.  However it is much better if we follow His direction in the
first place.  This is what He truly wants for us.
VERSE:
Micah 6:8 - He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth
the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with thy God?

#18
CYBER LIE:
If Jesus was really king of the Jews, He would have entered Jerusalem
on a white stallion with great fanfare.
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus was really the king of the Jews, but He came humbly, without a
lot fanfare.
VERSE:
Zechariah 9:9 - Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O
daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just,
and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt
the foal of an ass.

#19
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Are you sure that God knows what I need?
CYBER LIE:
You've got to provide for yourself; God doesn't know what you need.
VERSE:
Matthew 6:31-32 - Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we
eat?  or, What shall we drink?  or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

#20
CYBER LIE:
It's okay to call on God, but only after you have tried everything
else.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
But if I let go of greed, I won't have any goals to work for.  What
would I do with my life?  Will He take care of me?
VERSE:
Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

#21
CYBER LIE:
When you're in a jam and don't know what to say; don't expect any
help from God.
WRONG GUESS:
We all are going to be arrested and God is going to bail us out.
WRONG GUESS:
God is going to turn us into ventriloquist dummies.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that we should never make plans when we go somewhere?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that God will be with me, using me for good even in
times of trouble?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
At all times God is with us, but we are given something special when
we face trials because of our walk with Jesus.  God promises to be
there and give us the very words to say and how to say them.  He says
it will be His Spirit speaking through us.
VERSE:
Matthew 10:19-20 - But when they deliver you up, take no thought how
or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour
what ye shall speak.  For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of
your Father which speaketh in you.

#22
CYBER LIE:
Becoming a Christian just means more work.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus wants us to quit our jobs.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus is anti-business.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus is talking about starting a labor union.
WRONG GUESS:
Is Jesus guaranteeing an early retirement plan?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that Jesus will help us through trials?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants us to realize that when we come to Him, He takes our lives
and transforms them.  He is willing to take on Himself the things
that have been so difficult for us.
VERSE:
Matthew 11:28 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

#23
CYBER LIE:
Nothing's worth dying for.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus expected His disciples to be crucified with Him.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus is talking about our need to wear those little jewelry crosses.
WRONG GUESS:
Protecting yourself is not what God wants.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that I need to stop thinking only about myself and think
more about what God's plan is?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Jesus was the greatest example of denying Himself.  He left His home
with the Father in Glory and came to earth to live with us.  He took
up His cross and carried it.  He gave up everything for us.  This
verse tells us to do the same type of thing for Him and when we do
we'll find the true way to live.
VERSE:
Matthew 16:24-25 - Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and
follow me.  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

#24
CYBER LIE:
It doesn't matter what you are on the inside, as long as you keep up
your image.
PARAPHRASE:
Make sure that you are clean on the inside as well as on the outside:
don't be a hypocrite!
VERSE:
Matthew 23:27 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  for
ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness.

#25
CYBER LIE:
Only the nation of Israel will see Jesus appear in glory, so what are
you waiting for?
VERSE:
Matthew 24:30 - And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory.

#26
CYBER LIE:
Divided loyalties can be useful.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that people who hold down two jobs hate their bosses?
WRONG GUESS:
Could it mean everyone needs their own personal servant?
WRONG GUESS:
When you serve someone it's a love/hate relationship.
WRONG GUESS:
Money is the root of all evil.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that I need to have my relationship with God be the
number one priority in my life?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
The way people are pulled in so many directions these days seems to
cause them to be divided and lack any true direction.  The Bible
states this way of life will only bring anger and frustration.  God
wants to be first in our lives.  Then and only then will our lives be
complete.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Can't I put God and money on a sort of equal footing?  You know, make
them both top priority?
VERSE:
Luke 16:13 - No servant can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other.  Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

#27
CYBER LIE:
Jesus never said He was the Messiah.
VERSE:
John 4:25-26 - The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh,
which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

#28
CYBER LIE:
It's hopeless!  Jesus just left Christians on their own when He left
this world.
VERSE:
John 16:7 - Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for
you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come
unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

#29
CYBER LIE:
What you hear doesn't effect how you believe.
PARAPHRASE:
Read the Bible and listen to good teaching about Christ to increase
your faith.
VERSE:
Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God.

#30
CYBER LIE:
You might as well get drunk, cause you can't get high on God.
VERSE:
Ephesians 5:18 - And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but
be filled with the Spirit;

#31
VERSE:
Ephesians 6:16 - Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

#32
VERSE:
Ephesians 6:17b - the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

#33
CYBER LIE:
Look out for number one.
VERSE:
Philippians 2:4 - Look not every man on his own things, but every man
also on the things of others.

#34
CYBER LIE:
Christians need to be somber and serious all the time.
VERSE:
Philippians 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say,
Rejoice.

#35
CYBER LIE:
If you want to be content, you need lots of stuff!
WRONG GUESS:
This guy must have been on drugs to be that laid back.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we have to go to school to know how to be hungry?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean we need to give everything away so we can learn to be
content?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that it's possible for us to be content no matter what
our circumstances are?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
It's wonderful to know the peace and contentment that God can bring
to our lives, and that it does not depend on our circumstances.  The
knowledge that the Lord has supplied a peace like that is beyond this
world's understanding.  The man who wrote this letter was the apostle
Paul, and he wrote it while he was in prison in Rome.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
But I just don't know how to live without lots of money!  What if I
end up going hungry?
VERSE:
Philippians 4:11b-12 - for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am,
therewith to be content.  I know both how to be abased, and I know
how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to
be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

#36
CYBER LIE:
All Christians are weak.  Your trust in God makes you weak.
VERSE:
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.

#37
CYBER LIE:
You are stuck with your old nature, God's not going to give you a new
one.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that I have a split personality, and need to go see a
psychiatrist about it?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that all of my weaknesses went away when I became a
Christian?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that someday I will look just like Jesus with the same
hair, same height, and so forth?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that God has given me a new nature, and that I no longer
have to sin the way I used to?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
When we become Christians, it's much more than just believing some
things about God: He will actually change our innermost beings if we
let Him.  We have the glorious opportunity to partnership with Him in
redesigning who and what we are.
VERSE:
Colossians 3:9b-10 - seeing that ye have put off the old man with his
deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge
after the image of him that created him:

#38
CYBER LIE:
Loving Money is good!  Money is the source of all happiness.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
When you LOVE money, it can pull you away from God!  Loving money
causes all sorts of evil in your life.
VERSE:
I Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil: which
while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows.

#39
CYBER LIE:
God doesn't take care of rich people, they're on their own.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
First, he said to stop placing your hope and trust in wealth, but
place your hope in God alone; then you'll enjoy all that He gives you.
VERSE:
I Timothy 6:17 - Charge them that are rich in this world, that they
be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living
God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

#40
CYBER LIE:
Generous people are suckers!
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Secondly, to be rich in good deeds, generous and willing to share. 
That way you will be investing in eternal things.
VERSE:
I Timothy 6:18-19 - That they do good, that they be rich in good
works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in
store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that
they may lay hold on eternal life.

#41
PARAPHRASE:
Getting punished for wrongdoing is correct, however, if you do what
is right and get punished wrongly for it, God is pleased when you
take it patiently.
CYBER LIE:
Only bad people suffer, because God will never let the good people
suffer.
WRONG GUESS:
It means that if I let people abuse me God is pleased.
WRONG GUESS:
It means that if you're patient long enough, people are going to walk
all over you.
WRONG GUESS:
It means suffering is good.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that if people give me a hard time for doing what God
said to do, then I should keep on doing what's right?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants His people to be different from this world rather than to
conform to the world as the godless do.  He says that when someone
harms you, you should bless them.  By our living this way, God is
pleased because we are reflecting His patience with us.  Your
suffering ends up as something good.
VERSE:
I Peter 2:20 - For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your
faults, ye shall take it patiently?  but if, when ye do well, and
suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

#42
PARAPHRASE:
There are lying people in the world who say that Jesus Christ did not
really come to Earth.  Don't believe them!
CYBER LIE:
There's no such person as the antichrist, and there never will be.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that all people who have not accepted Jesus are the
antichrist?
WRONG GUESS:
All people are deceived by the antichrist.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that Jesus is only in our imagination?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that Jesus was "fleshly"?
CORRECT GUESS:
I guess this means that people who deny Jesus came are trying to
deceive us and they are against Christ.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Almost every place we turn today, even in some churches, we hear
stories told that the Bible is not true.  This teaching denies that
our Lord Jesus came in the flesh.  The Bible calls the people who
teach this way deceivers and antichrists.
VERSE:
II John 1:7 - For many deceivers are entered into the world, who
confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.  This is a
deceiver and an antichrist.

CYBER LIE:
You can't expect God to follow through on His promises, He never does!
VERSE:
Joshua 21:43 - And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he
sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt
therein.

CYBER LIE:
If God appeared to everyone and blessed them abundantly, then they
would gladly serve Him.
VERSE:
I Kings 11:9-10 - And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his
heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto
him twice, And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he
should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD
commanded.

CYBER LIE:

those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry
land.

path.

VERSE:
Proverbs 3:7-8 - Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and
depart from evil.  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy
bones.

#07
PARAPHRASE:
If you're honest, then you won't have to worry about keeping your
story straight and you'll have peace.  If you cheat, then someday
you'll get caught.
CYBER LIE:
Go ahead and sin.  No one will ever know.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that if I am a liar, then I can't go on hikes?
WRONG GUESS:
If we stand up real straight it will help us walk.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that I have to wander around a lot before God will find
me?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that if I'm honest, I'll be safe, and if I do wrong
things everyone will know?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
When we live our lives respecting God and the people around us we can
trust God that He will be with us and protect us from falling.  If we
don't, sooner or later everyone will know how bad we really are.
VERSE:
Proverbs 10:9 - He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that
perverteth his ways shall be known.

#08
CYBER LIE:
It's okay to take your aggression out on the dog.

VERSE:
Proverbs 17:7 - Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do
lying lips a prince.

#10
CYBER LIE:
Parents don't care when their children do wrong, dumb things.  It's
just part of being a kid.
VERSE:
Proverbs 23:24 - The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice:
and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

#11
CYBER LIE:

(even if he's a real jerk).
VERSE:
Proverbs 28:23 - He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more
favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

#12
CYBER LIE:
Our judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government will
save us, not God.
PARAPHRASE:
Our three branches of government were based on this verse.
VERSE:
Isaiah 33:22 - For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king; he will save us.

#13
CYBER LIE:
There's no way to know how to live before God.
VERSE:
Isaiah 48:17 - Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of
Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which
leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

God.
VERSE:
Hosea 13:4 - Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and
thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

#15
CYBER LIE:
God lets evil people continue to be evil, so He must approve of them.
VERSE:
Malachi 2:17 - Ye have wearied the LORD with your words.  Yet ye say,
Wherein have we wearied him?  When ye say, Every one that doeth evil
is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or,
Where is the God of judgment?

#16
PARAPHRASE:
Don't be worried about the awful things in this world, you should be
concerned with eternal issues.
CYBER LIE:
There's nothing to fear: there is no hell.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that I don't need to be concerned about crime?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that the body and soul are not connected?
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that my soul can be killed by itself?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that my priority needs to be to live for God, and to
have eternal values?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
No matter what happens in our lives, each of us will face death at
some time.  God wants us to know that our spiritual condition is the
most important thing to have in order.  Some of us will die old, some
will die young.  Some will go to heaven, some to hell.
VERSE:
Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not
able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.

#17
CYBER LIE:
Animals are just as important as humans.

Matthew 12:12a - How much then is a man better than a sheep?

#18
CYBER LIE:

believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged
about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

#19

Jesus shoved children aside in order to speak to adults.
VERSE:
Matthew 19:14 - But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

#20
CYBER LIE:
Righteous appearance always stems from a righteous heart.
VERSE:
Matthew 23:28 - Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,
but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

#21
PARAPHRASE:
The Word of God will outlast even this old world.
CYBER LIE:
This old world will keep on going long after everyone's forgotten
about Jesus and Christianity.
WRONG GUESS:
We need to find another planet to live on.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that we are all going to be destroyed?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that the heavens and the earth are going somewhere else?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that the world as we know it is going to be taken away
but the things God says will always be around?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
What God has said is more certain and can be trusted more than even
the things that we can see or feel in this world.  The world's
existence is not as permanent as the Word of God.
VERSE:
Matthew 24:35 - Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away.

#22
PARAPHRASE:
God does allow us to have leisure time.
CYBER LIE:
God is a slave-driver.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus wasn't pleased with the apostles so he sent them away.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus and the apostles wanted to hide from the crowds.
WRONG GUESS:
The people never brought their lunch, they were just freeloaders.
WRONG GUESS:
The apostles were very proud men.
CORRECT GUESS:
Jesus was concerned that the apostles had enough time to eat and be
refreshed.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Our Lord is aware of all of our needs and wants to meet those needs
as we spend time in a place of rest with Him.  He tells us that He
will meet all of our needs.
VERSE:
Mark 6:30-31 - And the apostles gathered themselves together unto
Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what
they had taught.  And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart
into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and
going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

#23
CYBER LIE:
There's no such thing as eternal life.  You just cease to exist.
PARAPHRASE:
God wanted so much for us to live with Him in eternity that He sent
Jesus to make that possible.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that Christians will never die?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that God doesn't love Jesus?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that if we believe that Jesus existed, then we will be
saved?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that God loved me so much that His Son paid the price
for my eternal life?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
This is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible.  Jesus is the one
speaking.  He's talking about Himself.  He goes on to say that He
came to save the world and to offer mankind this eternal life with
Him.  The only requirement is that they turn to Him and believe.
VERSE:
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.

#24
CYBER LIE:
Tell everyone how great you are: you're only telling the truth!
VERSE:
John 7:18 - He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he
that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no
unrighteousness is in him.

#25
PARAPHRASE:
The devil spins lies in order to entrap you, but when God shows you
the truth, then you will be free from the devil's schemes.
CYBER LIE:
Once you've been trapped in a lie, there's no escape.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
That's right!  You need to face the truth in order to escape your
dependency:
WRONG GUESS:
We will all become "Know It Alls".
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that truth is free?
WRONG GUESS:
Does that mean that I can always get out of jail by telling the truth?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that if I am trapped by the devil's lies, then I can
escape them by knowing God's truth?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
In this verse Jesus was talking about His teachings.  He was saying
that what He was teaching was completely the truth and that living by
these truths we would receive a freedom like we have never known.  If
we live in the truth, we are no longer bound by lies.
VERSE:
John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.

#26
CYBER LIE:
You must obey any authority figure, even if they tell you to sin.
VERSE:
Acts 5:29 - Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We
ought to obey God rather than men.

which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: But that we write
unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from
fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

#28
CYBER LIE:
You don't have to serve either God or the devil, you can be your own
master.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
God won't force you to confess all of your sins, but whatever isn't
under God's control in your life is something that's controlling you.
VERSE:
Romans 6:16 - Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants
to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto
death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

CYBER LIE:
After you become a Christian, you'll never sin again.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Even the apostle Paul had trouble doing what was right.
WRONG GUESS:
This means I'm so bad I'll never change.
WRONG GUESS:
I'm so bad that there is no hope for me.
WRONG GUESS:
I have no control over the way I act.
WRONG GUESS:
I'm able to do whatever I want because I'm not in control of my life,
anyway.
CORRECT GUESS:
It seems to say I have a hard time doing what is right even though I
really want to.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
The apostle Paul is talking in this verse about the battle that was
going on in his life.  As much as he wanted to live his life under
submission to God's correct principles, he would find himself doing
the very opposite.  It seems that Paul was having the same problems
that we do.
VERSE:
Romans 7:18-19 - For I know that in me that is, in my flesh, dwelleth
no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform
that which is good I find not.  For the good that I would I do not:
but the evil which I would not, that I do.

#30
CYBER LIE:
Sex with a prostitute is just casual sex.  It's just a physical
experience with no long term effects.

I Corinthians 6:16 - What?  know ye not that he which is joined to an
harlot is one body?  for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

#31
CYBER LIE:
The only reason for marriage is to have babies.
VERSE:
I Corinthians 7:9 - But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for
it is better to marry than to burn.

#32
CYBER LIE:
You can fight, murder, get drunk, have wild parties, hate, get into
crystals, hold seances, ANYTHING AT ALL!  It doesn't affect your
relationship with God.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Thank you for being honest.  Maybe if I read you a list of sins from
the Bible, you'd have a better idea of what I'm talking about:
VERSE:
Galatians 5:20-21 - Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

#33
CYBER LIE:

are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

#36
CYBER LIE:
God's not going to complete His work in you, He's going leave you as
a half-finished lump.
VERSE:
Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which
hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus
Christ:

#37
CYBER LIE:
Jesus will never be acknowledged as "Lord of All".  The devil's going
to win.
VERSE:
Philippians 2:10-11 - That at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

#38
PARAPHRASE:
God knows how to take care of you, He's rich!
CYBER LIE:
God can't meet your needs, He's too poor.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus must be very rich.
WRONG GUESS:
I won't have any problems if I'm a Christian.
WRONG GUESS:
If God is so rich, then He doesn't care about people that are poor.
WRONG GUESS:
Poor people must not know God.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that when Jesus came He brought with Him everything that
I will ever really need?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Not only will God supply, but He has already supplied through His son
Jesus everything we will ever need.  Our lives in Him are filled
beyond anything we could ever ask or even imagine.
VERSE:
Philippians 4:19 - But my God shall supply all your need according to
his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

#39
CYBER LIE:
Being a Christian means that everyone will like you.
VERSE:
II Timothy 3:12 - Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution.

#40
PARAPHRASE:
As we come to understand God's gift of grace for us, that
understanding helps us to turn away from the sins of the world, and
lead godly lives.
CYBER LIE:
You're going to Hell!  You'll never be saved.  God will never give
you the ability to live a godly life!
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
We will always be tempted to sin, but our dependence upon God's mercy
helps us not to sin, and helps us live a good, godly life that's
pleasing to Him.
VERSE:
Titus 2:11-12 - For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath
appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in
this present world;

#41
CYBER LIE:
God can't relate to the overwhelming temptations of today.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
God can't relate to MY problems!
WRONG GUESS:
God feels sorry for us because we are weaklings.
WRONG GUESS:
God is looking for some lady named Grace.
WRONG GUESS:
Since God has the same temptations we do, it must be okay if we sin.
WRONG GUESS:
We need to be free from sin in order to pray to God.
CORRECT GUESS:
God has the ability to feel the same way that we do and yet not sin.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God is telling us that He understands how we feel and the
frustrations we are going through.  He tells us that when we are
feeling this way that we can come to Him in our prayers, without fear.
VERSE:
Hebrews 4:15-16a - For we have not an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore come
boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,

#42
CYBER LIE:
Helping people with food and clothing is a waste of time.  God only
wants you to help them "spiritually".
VERSE:
James 2:15-16 - If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of
daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye
warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things
which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

#43
PARAPHRASE:
Tell other believers your sins and pray with them.  This will help
your healing process.
CYBER LIE:
God wants you to deal with your sins just between you and Him.  Don't
ever tell anyone else.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
The Bible says that we should confess our sins to another believer so
that they can pray for us that we can be healed.
VERSE:
James 5:16a - Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for
another, that ye may be healed.

#44
CYBER LIE:
What matters is looking good, not being "nice".
VERSE:
I Peter 3:3-4 - Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is
not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which
is in the sight of God of great price.

#45
CYBER LIE:
You can't tell God what you've done; He'd never forgive you.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
Jesus died for our sins, but we still need to agree with God about
our sins, then He can cleanse us.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that we don't have to worry about the consequences of
sin?
WRONG GUESS:
Since Jesus is so faithful and just, He will forgive everyone in the
world.
WRONG GUESS:
I need to go to the police department and tell them all the bad
things I have done.
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that if I tell Jesus the wrong things that I have done,
He will forgive me?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants us to agree with Him; that we have not always done
everything the way He wants us to, in fact many times we rebel
completely.  When we do agree or "confess", He forgives so much that
our sins are no longer even remembered by Him.
VERSE:
I John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

#46
CYBER LIE:
If you want to be popular, act like the popular people, even if they
get in trouble all the time.
VERSE:
III John 1:11 - Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that
which is good.  He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil
hath not seen God.

PARAPHRASE:
God created everything.
CYBER LIE:
The universe happened by chance, it wasn't created by some "God".
VERSE:
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

#02
CYBER LIE:
Scientists will eventually discover the fountain of youth, enabling
us to live hundreds of years.
VERSE:
Genesis 6:3 - And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred
and twenty years.

#03
CYBER LIE:
God would never let His people go hungry to teach them a lesson.
VERSE:
Deuteronomy 8:3 - And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy
fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by
bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the
LORD doth man live.

#04
CYBER LIE:
God has broken His promises to Israel.
VERSE:
Joshua 21:45 - There failed not ought of any good thing which the
LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

#05
CYBER LIE:
Since Satan stays in Hell, he is irrelevant.
VERSE:
Job 1:6-7 - Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.  And the
LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou?  Then Satan answered the
LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking
up and down in it.

#06
VERSE:
Psalms 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.

#07
PARAPHRASE:
God understands, loves and watches over us all the time.
CYBER LIE:
God can't understand you.  Nobody understands.
WRONG GUESS:
God must have spies watching me all the time.
WRONG GUESS:
This God sounds like He has a problem with wanting to control
everyone.
WRONG GUESS:
Is God psychic?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does this mean that God understands me, loves me and watches over me
all the time?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
In this Psalm, David is giving God praise.  Sometimes when we come to
God we forget that He knows everything there is to know about us.  We
try to explain our prayers to God or we might try to bargain with Him
to get our answer.  Let's remember that God knows all things, and He
knows the very thing that is needed in our lives.
VERSE:
Psalms 139:1-3 - O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.  Thou
knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my
thought afar off.  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art
acquainted with all my ways.

#08
VERSE:
Psalms 141:9a - Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me,

#09
PARAPHRASE:
Wisdom and understanding are more important than money.
CYBER LIE:
Having money is better than being "wise".
VERSE:
Proverbs 3:13-14 - Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man
that getteth understanding.  For the merchandise of it is better than
the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

#10
CYBER LIE:
Quiet people are just stupid!
VERSE:
Proverbs 10:19 - In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but
he that refraineth his lips is wise.

#11
PARAPHRASE:
Ignoring criticism and instruction will lead to poverty and shame.
CYBER LIE:
Don't listen to anyone else, especially if they are trying to "teach"
you something.
VERSE:
Proverbs 13:18 - Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth
instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

#12

water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

will cheer them up.
VERSE:

and as vinegar upon nitre,so is he that singeth songs to an heavy
heart.

#15
CYBER LIE:
The Bible says that the earth is flat.
VERSE:
Isaiah 40:22a - It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth.

#16
PARAPHRASE:
No matter how young you are, God has judgement in store for those who
are involved in witchcraft and astrology.
CYBER LIE:
Hey kiddies, go ahead and call those 1-900 psychic lines, they're a
LOT of FUN for kids, and it's really okay with God.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
But no real harm came of that spooky stuff: I was just a kid having
fun.
VERSE:
Isaiah 47:12-14a - Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the
multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy
youth; ... Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall
come upon thee.  Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall
burn them;

#17
CYBER LIE:
Jesus was a con artist who mesmerized people with His beauty and
charisma.
VERSE:
Isaiah 53:2 - For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and
as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and
when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

#18
CYBER LIE:
You don't need to obey God, you're just a kid!
PARAPHRASE:
Being young is no excuse for not doing what God tells you to do.
WRONG GUESS:
Is God mean to kids?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that kids have to leave home and become tele-evangelists?
WRONG GUESS:
Is God someone who doesn't care whether I am weak?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that we can't tell God that we are afraid?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that even though you may be young, God still wants you
to obey Him?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God is not limited by our age or abilities; when He tells us to do
something, He will give us the ability to do it.  We may feel that
God has made a mistake by choosing us, but we need to stop making
excuses and obey Him.
VERSE:
Jeremiah 1:6-7 - Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD!  behold, I cannot speak:
for I am a child.  But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child:
for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I
command thee thou shalt speak.

#19
PARAPHRASE:
God wants good things to happen to us.
CYBER LIE:
God's plans for you stink.
WRONG GUESS:
We have no choice in life, God's pulling all the strings.
WRONG GUESS:
Everything that comes our way will be wonderful.
CORRECT GUESS:
It says here that God really does care what happens to me.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Sometimes as we go through life we lose track of the fact that God is
with us.  If things are not going smoothly we ask "Where is He?" or
"Why is this happening?" or "God doesn't care."  God's overall plans
for us are good.  Accepting God's plan, and His correction leads to
maturity in our walk with Him.
VERSE:
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end.

#20
PARAPHRASE:
Only God can explain life's secrets to us.
CYBER LIE:
There is no God in heaven who can tell you any secrets.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
But where else could I go to discover the secrets and mysteries of
life?
VERSE:
Daniel 2:28a - But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets.

#21
PARAPHRASE:
God is waiting for us to repent and come to Him.  He wants to forgive
us and bless us.
CYBER LIE:
God is really crabby, and gets ticked off easily.
WRONG GUESS:
God wants His people to be torn up all the time.
WRONG GUESS:
God must have changed because I was told I had to be afraid of Him.
CORRECT GUESS:
This sounds like God is waiting for me to come to Him and He wants to
forgive me.  He's not mad and He loves me.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God has constantly tried to teach His people how to live.  Mankind
thinks that the reasons for its problems are external while God says
they come from within a man's heart.  God again tells us in this
verse what really works.  The good changes in our lives will come
from the inside as our hearts change.
VERSE:
Joel 2:13 - And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto
the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger,
and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

#22
CYBER LIE:
Trusting in God isn't going to help you with your problems.
VERSE:
Nahum 1:7 - The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
and he knoweth them that trust in him.

#23
PARAPHRASE:
Psychics will deceive and mislead you.
CYBER LIE:
Psychics and astrologers have the inside scoop on the spiritual realm.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
How can it be wrong when the insights it's given me have been so
helpful.
VERSE:
Zechariah 10:2a - For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners
have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain:

#24
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus doesn't want us to hide our relationship with Him.
CYBER LIE:
No one has to know you're a Christian.  Just keep your faith between
you and God.
WRONG GUESS:
We all need to stand on corners and preach the word of God.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that Peter must not be in heaven?
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus was a bad sport and won't let me have salvation unless I do
some "works".
CORRECT GUESS:
It sounds like Jesus doesn't want us to hide our relationship with
Him.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Jesus was in the process of sending out the twelve disciples when He
made these statements.  He had just finished saying "do not be
afraid" a number of times.  As Christians we need to be willing to
tell others about our Lord.  We can talk to them about what He has
already done in our lives.
VERSE:
Matthew 10:32-33 - Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.  But
whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my
Father which is in heaven.

#25
CYBER LIE:
God only judges your actions, not your words.
WRONG GUESS:
It's okay to talk any way you want to as long as you really think
about it first.
WRONG GUESS:
Does that mean that I'm in trouble for all the things I've ever said?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that what I say will justify me?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that the evil person will be accountable for the things
he says as well as the things he has done?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Jesus is explaining the things that a man says come out of his heart.
In reality the things that we say reflect what's inside, the thoughts
and intents of our heart.  He tells us here that we are responsible
even for those little slips in our speech.
VERSE:
Matthew 12:36-37 - But I say unto you, That every idle word that men
shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned.

#26
PARAPHRASE:
Look out if you lead others into temptation.
CYBER LIE:
Drug dealers aren't responsible for the hurt caused by drugs: they
don't MAKE the users take it.
VERSE:
Matthew 18:7 - Woe unto the world because of offences!  for it must
needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence
cometh!

#27
CYBER LIE:
Jesus was "meek and mild": He was a wimp.
VERSE:
Matthew 21:12 - And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out
all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

#28
PARAPHRASE:
No one knows when Jesus will return.
CYBER LIE:
People can accurately predict the day and hour when Jesus will come
again.
VERSE:
Matthew 24:42,44 - Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your
Lord doth come.  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as
ye think not the Son of man cometh.

#29
PARAPHRASE:
God is not going to let the secrets of men continue forever.
CYBER LIE:
If you got away with it, then who's to know?  Just keep it a secret
and it will stay a secret.
VERSE:
Luke 12:2 - For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall not be known.

#30
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus made a choice to die for our sins.
CYBER LIE:
Jesus wasn't powerful enough to stop them from killing Him.
WRONG GUESS:
The only reason God loves Jesus is because He died.
WRONG GUESS:
Jesus didn't need to die on the cross.
WRONG GUESS:
Does this mean that God wanted Jesus to die?
CORRECT GUESS:
I think this means that Jesus made a choice to die for my sins.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
When Jesus died on the cross, He had made the decision to do it for
you and for me.  He did it by His own free will, no one made Him do
it nor could have stopped Him from doing it.  No one else has ever
had this power and no one ever will.
VERSE:
John 10:17-18 - Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down
my life, that I might take it again.  No man taketh it from me, but I
lay it down of myself.  I have power to lay it down, and I have power
to take it again.  This commandment have I received of my Father.

#31
PARAPHRASE:
The only way to get to God is through Jesus.
CYBER LIE:
There are many other ways than Jesus to get to God.
WRONG GUESS:
Since Jesus says He is the only way to God I have to wait till He
returns.
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that I can't find truth until Jesus returns?
WRONG GUESS:
Does it mean that Jesus is keeping us from getting to the Father?
CORRECT GUESS:
Does it mean that I can't get to God by any other means than Jesus?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
Some people and some religious groups say there are many ways to God
but Jesus is saying that there is no other way to God except through
Him.
VERSE:
John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

#32
PARAPHRASE:
Jesus will live with you and love you, if you listen to Him and do
what He asks.
CYBER LIE:
It doesn't matter if you love and obey Jesus, God is still very far
away and He won't have anything to do with you.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
God is happy to reside in a person who loves and obeys Him.
VERSE:
John 14:23 - Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he
will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him.

#33
CYBER LIE:
It's okay to drink blood, especially if it is part of a ritual.
VERSE:
Acts 15:28-29 - For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to
lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye
abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things
strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye
shall do well.  Fare ye well.

#34
PARAPHRASE:
If you have been involved in psychic stuff or crystals, don't let
your financial investment keep you from repenting.
CYBER LIE:
It's okay to read satanic books, you won't need to give them up.
CONVERSATION WITH VICTIM:
I've invested thousands of dollars.  You can't expect me to just let
it all go up in smoke.
WRONG GUESS:
Burning these books saved these people.
WRONG GUESS:
It's okay to talk about magic and satanism all the time.
WRONG GUESS:
Magic is a profitable profession to go into.
CORRECT GUESS:
When you repent to God of your involvement with crystals or psychic
stuff, you shouldn't let the financial investments in it stop you
from destroying it.
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
When Jesus comes into our lives we begin to change from the inside. 
Many of our practices of the past are no longer what we want to do. 
We become willing and ready to get those things out of our lives.
VERSE:
Acts 19:18-19 - And many that believed came, and confessed, and
showed their deeds.  Many of them also which used curious arts
brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and
they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of
silver.

#35
CYBER LIE:
Revenge is sweet, a dish to be served up cold.
VERSE:
Romans 12:19 - Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give
place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay,
saith the Lord.

#36
CYBER LIE:
To preserve the unity of the church, we should condone sinful
behavior and go ahead and fellowship with "christians" who continue
in sin.
VERSE:
I Corinthians 5:11 - But now I have written unto you not to keep
company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or
covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an
extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

#37
PARAPHRASE:
We must remember what Jesus' body and blood mean at communion.
CYBER LIE:
God doesn't take communion seriously, why should you?
WRONG GUESS:
We're sick because we party too often.
WRONG GUESS:
We need to watch what we eat and drink.
WRONG GUESS:
God wants all people to be vegetarians.
CORRECT GUESS:
Is this verse talking about Jesus and what His body and blood mean
when we take communion?
EXPLANATION OF CORRECT GUESS:
God wants His people to understand what they are doing when they take
communion.  He wants us to examine ourselves and to realize that we
cannot make it alone.  The body and blood of Jesus, His death on the
cross, and His resurrection from the dead are all things we need to
consider when receiving communion.  We need to remember He died in
our place and for our sins.
VERSE:
I Corinthians 11:29-30 - For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's
body.  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many
sleep.
