I will list some Bible verses to consider.  A field agent is trained to lie. 
Can someone be both a Christian and a Field Agent?  What about the rest of
the intelligence aparatus; are some jobs permissable while others are not? 
In the case of life and death of another person is it sometimes acceptable to
lie?  I am curious about what you have to say about this topic.  What is the
Truth about this?



Leviticus 19:11
Do not steal, do not lie, do not deceive one another.

Psalm 119:163
I hate and detest falsehood but I love your law.

Proverbs 12:22
The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.

Proverbs 13:5
The righteous hate what it false, but the wicked make themselves a stench and
bring shame on themselves.

Proverbs 14:5
An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.

Proverbs 17:7
Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool---how much worse lying lips to a
ruler!

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's
desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for
there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he
is a liar and the father of lies.

Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is
helpful for building others up acording to their needs, that it may benefit
those who listen.

Colossians 3:9
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its
practices.

1 Timothy 4:2
Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been
seared as with a hot iron.

James 3:1
Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow brothers, because you know
that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

Revelation 22:15
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral,
the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
