In that God's righteousness is not/Can not be obtained by our efforts. It is a gift given to all who believe in the atoning sacrifice of Christ.
That means righteousness is still obtainable even if you lie to the German officer to save your friend/family.
So after saving your god's chosen people, I have to ask forgiveness for not telling the truth?? And only then do I get the righteousness? I often lied to my grandmother as a kid. I would tell her that I was going to the arcade when I was really going to play football because she was terrified that I would get seriously hurt playing that sport. There was no malicious intent in that lie ... therefore there is no sin, unrighteousness, etc etc.
If you and/or your god think there is, that's your business, but I know many Christians who do not think the way you do. Are you a true Christian or are they?
... let me just guess ...
You guys twist things to suit your own arguments or if you prefer a formal evaluation you have created a straw man fallacy rather than address the biblical definitions I have post at least a dozen times.
Sin is anything not in the Expressed will of God
Evil is a malicious intent to commit sin
Not all sin is evil but all evil is sin.
You are still saying that the lie told to save lives is a sin, which is what Cinjin was saying.
