Why didn't Abraham get punished for lying?	Submitted: 9/28/2008 Post a comment or ask a follow-up question

Question:	Out of fear, Abraham lied to the king that Sarah was his sister. Why was God silent and did not punish him for lying?

Answer:	First, how do you know God didn't punish him? Second, what punishment would you consider to be appropriate when someone lies out of fear? Third, how did you get such a distorted view of God?

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities' (Psalms 103:8-10).
