In the Bible or Mormon Doctrine is there a parable or some kind of story about someone telling outrageous stories and everyone thinks he is lying but later they check to see if he is telling the truth. When they find out he was telling the truth the moral of the story is do not assume people are lying unless you check to see if they are telling the truth. Can you name the verse in the bible? |

Could you be thinking of one of Aesop's fables, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"? http://tomsdomain.com/aesop/id87.htm |

I have found a Biblical equivalent to The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Click on "Answer" under "The boy who cried wolf." "Who Said It?" E-geress http://www.e-geress.org/wsi/wsi_3.htm I think that both The Boy Who Cried Wolf and the Biblical equivalent are a little different from the parable that you have described. The moral of these stories is not "do not assume people are lying", but rather "do not lie". But if you believe that this is the answer, I would be happy to post it. |

In the book of Alma (part of the Book of Mormon), there is a story about Zeezrom, who tells outrageous lies. Later, when he hears people speaking the truth, he feels guilty for what he has done and changes his ways. I doubt if that's the story you're thinking of, but there's a good lesson in there anyway. |

There's Cassandra, "granted the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but condemned never to be believed" (Encarta World English Dictionary) - but of course, that's Greek mythology, not Bible parable. |

If we catch a person telling several unrelated lies, we can hardly be expected to invest lots of energy in testing future things this person says. Society loses whenever lies are told, so please tell the truth, avoid half truths and false inferences. Neil |
