I Am Christian

I don't know if I'm just being narrow-minded in this situation: not lying are one of the biggest command of God. But what if you use it for your own safety and protection? Like to covering up some of your flaws or about something that could make you embarrass? Or to protect from some people that could take advantage of you?
Sorry, I'll admit I'm a little bit fool! Can someone help me more understand? It's seems like I became more narrow-minded when I became a Christian!
Thank you!

The bible is the ultimate authority. Gods law is sovereign and whether man likes it or not doesn't change the truth. If following Christ makes us appear to be narrowminded, the so be it. They're called the 10 commandments.....not the 10 suggestions. This response, I'm quite sure, will set off a firestorm. When I say "narrow mminded", that DOES NOT mean racism, or unkind to those who are or believe differently....it means that we defend the word of God over the word or opinions if man. We are to be Christlike.....not the Christ some Christians portray...but the Christ of scripture. Lying...in any form is still lying...sometimes tactfulness in truth can be a much better way.

@FORMERLYbatovn "If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)

@Pasunny ok....and I can take verses of scripture out of context too....big deal. Youre discounting the entire circumstance, the culture, AND the idea that Jesus did more to NEGATE sexism, racism, discrimination and showing love then any other figure in history. Misquoting a verse to prove a point is just gossip....which by the way is also a sin.....I realize that nothing said here will change anyone opinion. You may question God here. But to quote another verse. "Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord"
