Not Exhaustive

This is NOT an exhaustive list of passages. We are just going for a comprehensive but not exhaustive picture. For example we don't do anything with Jeremiah 14:14 re: God sending false prophets, because we have several other passages about God sending false prophets. We did include Hosea 12:10, because we wanted to show that God would send true prophets, not just false ones (also see Amos 13:9). Please feel free to suggest a verse that may belong on this page or on Exegesis!

And the Lord said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds. –Jeremiah 14:14 (ESV)

So, Ezekiel 14, Zephaniah 1, 1 Kings 9:8, Jeremiah 16:10, etc.. are of course known but just not included for the sake of brevity. Matthew 7:15 for example not being quoted for example because it is the same message as Matthew 24:11. If you feel we've missed out including an important passage, please let us know and we'll include it.

Not Fully 'Pashat'

…neither is it fully Pashat. That means we don't use a verse like Zechariah 8:16 and then turn and say, since we were created in the image of God, that implies God himself always seeks to speak the truth. But instead we say there is some validity to it because God says he hates 'those things'. Please suggest any obvious pashat readings we missed on Exegesis!

“These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the Lord. –Zechariah 8:16-17 (NIV)

Note, that I've been experimenting with comparing different translations recently; Especially the KJV and RSV.
