What of the sins of Omission in our lives, and of the degree of impact its had on you and others..?
Weve all been inundated and indoctrinated with proverbs such as: "Better to remain silent and thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.."
But what of this proverbs evil step-brother: "To admit ignorance is to exhibit wisdom."– Ashley Montagu
in other words have you ever Failed(omitted) to Act or confess, when you knew you should do otherwise?
And if so, to what degree did it impact your life; and maybe more importantly has that Omission effected how you Choose to make similar decisions today...if any... why or why not?
Thanks in Advance..
________________________
I realize its nobler to say "Withholding information or choosing not, or waiting to Act"... but I challenge each of you(as some have allready in their post..) to consider times that it would of been better to act (base your answer, if you will, on Real-Situations personal to you); but you hesitated or forgot to act:
{Example: a few years ago I had a relative die in a hospital, and suspected at best the staff in his care was acting incompetently at best, at worse maliciously... anyway in the span of some hours he died due to complications from a basic procedure that shouldnt of warranted its risk...if I had spoken, complained, to anyone in the hospital things may have turned out different..}
You dont have to go into this amount of detail..be as general or specific as you want... but let the noble programming of the "Proverbs of integrity" go for a minute.. and test it against your own experience..
Answer: I don't know that I have ever had much of a problem admitting ignorance, I admire and pursue knowledge, and thus do not have an issue with asking about things I don't understand or don't know anything about
...........in regards to the rest of your question. Yes, I have omitted facts and feelings alike. I have impacted others lives, sometimes in an effort to protect them, and in other instances to protect myself from having to acknowledge my fault in having played a part in their pain or discomfort.
Most times it's a tough call.....many times when I have sought to protect someone by omitting facts, I end up feeling guilty because in the end the truth is always the wiser choice, even if it hurts.....it leaves no unanswered questions.
I work really hard at this point in my life at being "wide open" with the truth; having learned that perhaps at some level I have suffered more while omitting facts, then perhaps those I omitted the facts to, in that guilt and feeling bad about who I am is a torturous punishment......to my conscious..

How do i tell my online guy the truth? BIG omission.?
I met this guy online, Weve been speaking for 1 month,and are both infatuated, and spend hours talking everyday, Hes british and lives in Asia. And since the first time i saw him i lost my breath.We have so much in common,the way we want to live,music,art,spirituality,being free spirited,traveling and there is energy between us.We type the same at the same time.We are feeling quite crazy.Were planning on meeting soon.All ive said about me is true, and what i feel too.We do skype video conference, and he has seen me.But when we started speaking i didnt tell him i have 2 sons, 2 and 4 years old, hes 32 and i am 26 .And as we kept on talking i never told him i guess because i didnt want his interest to change, and didnt think it will get this far,and he never asked.Now we are talking if we like each other to really be together. I feel bad, because im deceiving him,and dont want to hurt him or make a fool of him.And i really am digging him. How do i tell him? In person or before?
IF YOU WERE HIM, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT?
I talked about it with my best friend, and we agreed about letting some time pass before i tell him, so we get closer. But i am starting to feel bad because hes so open and genuine.
He also recently told me , that his dad left his mother for another woman when he was 5, and that she struggled raising him and sister by herself, while his dad a much better financial situation , and didnt give them a lot of attention to them. i left my ex because he was physically and emotionally abusive to me, very talented musician, but on the fast lane. so this makes me think that maybe he will be able to relate.
Being a young mother is cool and fun. I have balance between motherhood, and being young. And i dont look at all like i have kids.
This is messy , and i hope it does not blow in my face
SO SHOULD I TELL HIM NOW? WAIT FOR SOME TIME? OR TELL HIM IN PERSON?
Answer: definitely tell him before - and stress that you were scared you would scare him off if you told him too soon. after that, you'll just have to accept any hard feelings he may have about the situation. if he's as into you as you are him, then he'll stick around.
good luck

Are you happy that more people are-today-understanding better that we "OMIT" dangerous,toxic,greenhouse gasses?
Todays national news that the word is "omission" of these life-threatening gasses;and not-the word-"emission"(or rather,the BURNING of precious fuels;and THEN the wilful omission of destructive,environment destroying greenhouse gasses.
(Som-yan.. Stick to "printing" !!!)
Answer: Global warming alarmists are omitting the truth by not acknowledging that changes in global temperature are natural and not man-made.
What? This question isn't in the printer section? Oh wait, it is a global warming question in the philosophy section. Maybe the asker should stick with philosophy, since global warming is apparently not a subject that the asker seems familiar with.

How do fundamentalists account for pauls omission and lack of confirmation of jesuss life?
In his letters, he mentions almost nothing about the Jesus in the gospels besides the most basic christian tenets about his death and resurrection. As someone who was alive during Jesus ministry, he certainly would have heard of the many miracles and teachings, as well as the names of the people and places in the gospels. At one point in 1 cor 15, he even contradicts what happened in the gospels by implying that the ressurected Jesus appeared to judas before the ascension. Since the life of Jesus is such an essential teaching today, it would be absurd for someone of pauls standing to deliberately omit it, as talking about it would only help his purpose, not detract from it. And since paul had met the disciples and his letters were divinely inspired anyway, he wouldnt have needed any written sources to know about the life of Jesus. In using the "argument by silence", fundamentalists are therefore suggesting that God would inspire the writers to leave out important information.
Answer: A fundamental response would ask why Paul should write about things that were already available in the Gospel writings.
And if you read, and understand, Paul's writings, they are nearly all situational -- meaning he's writing to people, about specific issues.
There's no real reason for Paul to recount the story of Jesus walking on water.
Paul taught and wrote about the resurrection, because that's what was important to Paul. Paul mentioned the teaching of Jesus when it came to baptism, or the last supper, but Paul didn't write about miracles, because Paul didn't need to explain miracles.
It's ALL important information, but there's no point in repeating it, over and over.
Also, it's possible, that Paul DID write the sorts of letters you're asking about, but they weren't kept because the Gospel writings were closer to the original sources.

Did God cause the unprecedented bush-fires in the Australian state of Victoria?
The bush-fires have now taken over 170 lives and are described as unprecedented and the worst bush fires in Australian history.
1. Did he cause the fires, where by he is therefore guilty of the sin or commission (to use catholic vocabulary)
2. Or did he merely allow it happen, as in not intervening to save the lives of those who have perished, whereby he is therefore guilty of the sin of omission?
3. If god is indeed real, then what does this say about god, and his alleged omniscience, omnipotence, omni-benevolance, etc...?
Answer: It's Satan's fault.

What is the statute of limitations for child molestation in Ga?

When does omission of truth become a lie?
My friend and I are at odds over a definition. I believe that while some omissions are harmless and others necessary (life altering kinds) ...omissions are a sweeter version of a lie, but not a lie per say. I do not agree that both are completely interchangeable. My friend suggests that the two ARE interchangeable.
I hypothesized that a husband comes home late from work (after spending time at the strip club). The wife, knowing her husband has patronized the local strip club previously, smells perfumes and asks "did you go to the strip club?" The husband replies "no". He lied! However, say she does not ask. He does not volunteer. I believe in that case it is omission of truth and in this case while offensive to some readers..not a lie. Lets say Mr. Husband went a step further and slept with a lady he met there. That became a lie.
In some cases I suggested that omissions are healthier than telling it all. Girl asks guy "how many girls did you sleep with in college"....loaded question! Maybe the guy is now some purist and regrets having some of his sexual conquests and rather than suffer this line of questioning, potentially mar his current reputation and tick off said girl...he says "I ....just had a couple of girlfriends". Is that an ommission or lie?
Is there an example that clearly defines OMMISSION as beneficial vs LIE. I am open to evaluating my beliefs if the arguement presented is good.
Thanks everyone!
Thank you for your responses. Both great! I still believe some omissions are necessary although have reached a valuable conclusion: A lie is not in the words, or lack of words; its in the intention of the deceiver. The intent is to elicit a specific response from the asker (or in such case as omission - desire no response or further line of questioning). I chose in life to not lie yet as you point out..daily we live our lives with omission!
.
Answer: An omission is (in my opinion) only a "lie" when there was an expectation of a truthful answer to a question - and that the answer was deliberately used to obfuscate the truth.
If I go to a strip club - and you THINK I went to a strip club, but don't ask - where is the lie? If you were to ask me how my evening was and I tell you that work was a b!tch today, that is a misdirection and you could feel justified in believing that I lied. If I don't tell you about a woman I had sex with just 20 minutes ago, am I lying? I'm also not going to tell you the details of a particularly wonderful bowel movement I had at about 10:00 this morning... am I lying about that as well?
If I have sex with my Office Assistant, and you ask me if I screwed my secretary, I believe that I would be lying if I answer with, "I have NEVER had sex with my secretary!!!" This is based upon the fact that we BOTH understand that the person in question is considered to be a "secretary" by you... and that's why you asked in that manner.
This is akin to former President Clinton and his, "I have never had sexual relations with that woman - Miss Lewinsky." He KNEW that WE believed that oral was, indeed, considered to be "sexual relations" even if he didn't think of it that way. Lie.
If I witness your puppy being run over - and you ask me about it - do you REALLY want to know? If I tell you that there was a thump and Skippy was gone, that is definitely an omission... but is it to be considered a legitimate lie?? Do you really WANT me to say that Skippy was dragged for 100 feet and there was Skippy-guts spread all over the road and I found an eyeball in the tire treads of the car, and that Skippy whined in agony for several minutes until I took a shovel and broke his skull in?? I don't believe so.
Ergo, the "lie" lies in the belief from both parties that the truth was both DESIRED and DELIVERED.
To fuel the fire between you and your friend, both terms, "omission" and "lie" CAN be used interchangeably, but it totally depends upon the user of the term. Much like the terms, "Murder" and "Kill"... some use them with the understanding that they are interchangeable - while some draw distinctions.
For both cases, the drawing of distinctions is just rationalization and giving a person an "out" to be able to do the action in question. You are giving yourself permission to lie so that you can function in what you consider to be a "normal" society.
But - to help your argument - consider this following: If, by omitting some detail, you are considered to be lying, what does that mean? If you live your life by the creed that thou shalt never tell ANY lie, then you will NEVER shut your mouth, because EVERYONE has to know absolutely EVERYTHING about you and what you've seen or done or experienced or read or... because by omitting that detail, you are lying.
So, I thank you for deciding to be a liar. And, for having a wonderful question, a star goes to you!!

Do you like my work?
Early sun shining through glass.
Air becoming breath.
Standing staring through our bedroom,
Silent with omission.
Memory keeps life.
Mine of yours endures.
Our house once rife with beautiful discord.
Now, the stillness severe.
Our pictures now uncherished.
Our home now peculiar.
The products of our love will come back,
To test recuperation.
Noticing your mourning mirror.
Surveying my altered face.
Your kisses still linger.
My tears still accrue.
I need criticism
(form qualified sources)
and whats going on
so I know my message gets across.
Answer: It is good.
It is sad.There is death of an individual or of a relationship.

Is an omission of facts hidden alter your preconceived notion of who you really are?
in other words, if your subconscious has facts you refused to acknowledge, that you feel you have risen above, and conquered, does that fact when you realize it make you, your life a fake, your life up until that point a preconceived dream, or is it still your reality, only altered?
and would this known fact have altered your choices had you embraced it earlier in life?
or
would you still be the same person you are today?
Answer: Close. If you refuse to alter the unconscious knowledge of your subconscious then you are faced with the altering dilemma of the preconceived. In order to be who you are and know who you are, it takes the conscious without preconceived cognition and unconsciously feeds the subconscious and altering this action defines who you really are. Therefore the omission of facts, hidden or not, is not relevant to the preconceived notion. As a result, you are NEVER the same person.

What classifies as a sin of omission?
Every day, thousands of lives are being taken away--only because they are unwanted. Abortion doctors perform operations en masse and not much is being done about it besides protests. When I went to Catholic School, I learned that there are several kinds of sins. One of these was called the sin of omission.
Consider this:
A man breaks into a school classroom and threatens the lives of everyone in there. Hes wearing some kind of magic armor that makes him impervious to bullets, but for some reason hes stupid and doesnt protect his head. You are a vigilante sniper outside. He is about to detonate a bomb that will kill everyone inside of the school building. You have a clean shot. If you dont take the shot, thats considered a sin of omission because each person has a duty to protect the lives of the innocent (from what Ive learned, correct me if Im wrong).
Every day, abortion doctors kill babies still in the womb. If the human fetus is just as human as all of us, why dont people actively stop abortion doctors if theyre taking the lives of the innocents. Granted, most abortion doctors are ignorant to the christian faith, but wouldnt it still be a sin to let all those people die in the previous example just because the man was mentally handicapped? A man in Kansas killed Dr. Tiller, a famous abortion doctor, but the church reprimanded him and labeled him as a radical. Isnt protecting the lives of an innocent the humane thing to do? Why did they ostracize him when Gods Law is supposed to take precedence over Mans Law?
I know its an extreme example, but I couldnt think of anything less drastic. Examples would be appreciated.
Agnostic trying to understand.
Though Im agnostic, I still retain the belief that a fetus is a human. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone.
Answer: James 4:17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

lying by omission- can it be justified if just starting to date?
my boyfriend didnt tell me everything about his life history when we first started to date, but neither did i tell him about every boyfriend ive had, etc. of course, i didnt leave out any huge skeleton in the closet, and would be happy to discuss anything he wanted to know. but when 2 people start to date isnt it ok to not tell each other everything until you know you want to get closer? it took him several months to own up to the fact that hes been married and divorced twice. i can see why he may not want that to be a first date topic. i already had heard hed been married more than once but didnt say a thing- waiting to see if/when hed tell me about it. does this seem devious, or just innocent, not wanting me to know everything up front. how much do you have to tell someone without intentionally "lying by omission?"
Answer: Yes.He could turn out to be an enemy so..

When will moderate Islam stand up and root out radical Islam and destroy it?
We have spent billions of dollars and thousands of lives fighting radical islam while at the same time trying to convince everyone that moderate islam is just wonderful and a grand religion
Why are we fighting it when the moderate muslims will not?
Why isnt they the vast majority of muslims fighting the corruption of their religion into a political ideology?
How long can people really believe that the vast majority of moderate islam is innocent and wonderful when they seem by omission to give a stamp of approval to Radical Islam?
Why arent the billions of Muslims in this world pointing fingers at the terrorists hiding in their midst?
Is the greatest weapons the terrorists posses, camouflage provided by moderate muslims and our inability to do anything while they hide there among them?
**** I believe i got all of the muslims/islamic religion vs people straight
If not its purely by accident and any post that tries to make a reference to one is a religion and one is a group of people will be thumbed down, ignored, and glared at !!
Answer: They won't. Their silence about radical Islam's behaviour says volumes about where they stand on this issue. Maybe this is the reason why Bin Laden hasn't been caught.
Moderate Islam is very good at creating propaganda so they don't have to criticise the bad behaviour of their own group. An example would be their theory that the CIA caused 9/11 and another one is that Bin Laden is dead. Muslims are very good at inversion so they don't have to take a long hard look at their behaviour and the consequeces of it. Most genocide in the world has been done, and is still being done by muslims. A leopard never changes its spots.

Was this lying by omission (please help)?
I talked to my mother and suspected after hearing slurred words and dragged out vowels that she was drunk. I asked if she had been drinking, and she denied it (shes an alcoholic). I asked if she had taken xanax like she does (which mimics drunkenness), and she denied that, too.
We went back and forth with this for about 15 minutes, with me getting more and more upset that I was being straight up lied to (shes grown and can be an alcoholic if she wants, but deliberately lying over and over when its obviously otherwise does something to my mental health that I cant fully explain). So towards the very end of the conversation, with me yelling at this point (Ive been lied to so much and Ive seen my mother so incoherent throughout my life that I was determined to get the satisfaction of hearing her admit it so I could get off the phone), she finally said, "Fine! You want the truth? I smoked pot."
So, I told my dad that she lied to me, and he argued that she didnt lie. I said, "Havent you heard about lying by omission? Technically, she did lie" and he said, "No, TECHNICALLY she didnt."
So on top of the other stuff Im dealing with, Im fuming that my dad is starting a technicality argument with me in this situation.
Anyway, for anyone who knows anything about law, or logic, or lying by omission in particular, can you please tell me if, in fact, my mother technically lied to me? If you have sources, that would be even better.
Thanks.
anime: I didnt ask if she lied. I asked if she lied by omission.
If she left out a very important fact with the intent to deceive me, is that lying by omission?
Lying by omission
Lying by omission is a lie when you state the truth, but you leave something out. Have you ever heard the phrase, ”it’s still lying if you don’t tell all of it”? Well that is an example of lying by omission.
Lying By Omission
A lie of omission is when a person fails to include the relevant facts that the listener reasonably expects to be included in an answer. For example, a woman says to her boyfriend, "I thought you went to a show, not to the bar." He answers, "I did go to the show. Here are the ticket stubs," but he leaves out the fact that he went to the bar after the show.
Lying by omission
One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception.
Answer: Hi A, I am a recovered alcoholic and I can honestly tell you, I would recommend you go to al-ateen or al-anon to keep your sanity and to understand how to take care of yourself as a child of an addict/alcoholic. I would also recommend you get educated on this deadly disease. What you need to understand is alcoholics lie, addicts lie, and gamblers lie. It's a part of this disease. Your mom is not the same mom you had if and when she had a period of sobriety, because being a chronic alcoholic means the disease has taken over and now runs her life. In other words, it is her first love and 99.9% of the time it's all she can think of and do. If you can separate the mom from the alcoholic it may help you to understand a little of why she does what she does. She needs help, desperately. There is Alcoholics Anonymous that is available to help her recover, as well counsellors who deal with only addictive people/personalities. If you want any kind of a relationship with her, one or both of you will have to get help. There is no other way, sorry, and I am very sorry you have to go through this. Believe me when I say she would never lie to you sober, I am sure she loves you, and you cannot hurt her as much as she has and is hurting and killing herself. She cannot get well on her own at this point. She has a disease that takes us only 3 places, jail, institution (hospital for recovering) and death. Without recovery her choices are limited and her chances are not good. I hope and pray she will get help and your family too, because this is a family disease. This is not about whether she did lie or did not. You will have to look at the bigger picture here and I sincerely hope you do.... If you want to talk about this or just vent anytime, feel free to email me. Take care, please.

If you commit the sin of omission as a believer, would this be considered not doing the Fathers will?
Matthew 7:21 - "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Websters dictionary defines omission as: neglect or failure to do something that should have been done.
A sin of omission to me would be neglecting to witness to someone whom the Lord has put in our life, or failing to help someone when it was within our power to do so for example. Do you believe if you have committed this sin it would result in the loss of your salvation?
Answer: The sin of omission in the believer's life is common, I suspect. However, your key question is whether a sin of omission is enough to lose one's salvation.
I believe that there is only one unforgivable sin, rejecting Jesus. A sin of omission is not unforgivable.
If there were a way to lose one's salvation, it would make God's love conditional ("I will love you if you do....."), which is inconsistent with God's character stated in the Bible.
He loves His children no matter what.

Can someone put these medical ethic directives in a simpler for for me to undeerstand and discuss?
Directives
55. Catholic health care institutions offering care to persons in danger of death from illness, accident, advanced age, or similar condition should provide them with appropriate opportunities to prepare for death. Persons in danger of death should be provided with whatever information is necessary to help them understand their condition and have the opportunity to discuss their condition with their family members and care providers. They should also be offered the appropriate medical information that would make it possible to address the morally legitimate choices available to them. They should be provided the spiritual support as well as the opportunity to receive the sacraments in order to prepare well for death.
56. A person has a moral obligation to use ordinary or proportionate means of preserving his or her life. Proportionate means are those that in the judgment of the patient offer a reasonable hope of benefit and do not entail an excessive burden or impose excessive expense on the family or the community.40
57. A person may forgo extraordinary or disproportionate means of preserving life. Disproportionate means are those that in the patients judgment do not offer a reasonable hope of benefit or entail an excessive burden, or impose excessive expense on the family or the community.41
58. There should be a presumption in favor of providing nutrition and hydration to all patients, including patients who require medically assisted nutrition and hydration, as long as this is of sufficient benefit to outweigh the burdens involved to the patient.
59. The free and informed judgment made by a competent adult patient concerning the use or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures should always be respected and normally complied with, unless it is contrary to Catholic moral teaching.
60. Euthanasia is an action or omission that of itself or by intention causes death in order to alleviate suffering. Catholic health care institutions may never condone or participate in euthanasia or assisted suicide in any way. Dying patients who request euthanasia should receive loving care, psychological and spiritual support, and appropriate remedies for pain and other symptoms so that they can live with dignity until the time of natural death.42
61. Patients should be kept as free of pain as possible so that they may die comfortably and with dignity, and in the place where they wish to die. Since a person has the right to prepare for his or her death while fully conscious, he or she should not be deprived of consciousness without a compelling reason. Medicines capable of alleviating or suppressing pain may be given to a dying person, even if this therapy may indirectly shorten the persons life so long as the intent is not to hasten death. Patients experiencing suffering that cannot be alleviated should be helped to appreciate the Christian understanding of redemptive suffering.
62. The determination of death should be made by the physician or competent medical authority in accordance with responsible and commonly accepted scientific criteria.
63. Catholic health care institutions should encourage and provide the means whereby those who wish to do so may arrange for the donation of their organs and bodily tissue, for ethically legitimate purposes, so that they may be used for donation and research after death.
64. Such organs should not be removed until it has been medically determined that the patient has died. In order to prevent any conflict of interest, the physician who determines death should not be a member of the transplant team.
65. use of tissue or organs from an infant may be permitted after death has been determined and with the informed consent of the parents or guardians.
66. Catholic health care institutions should not make use of human tissue obtained by direct abortions even for research and therapeutic purposes
Answer: I think it's just too long of a question/answer for people to really have the time or desire to tackle it.
One thing that could help you is if you remove the ones that are more obvious and you do understand, and also break them down into many questions. Maybe only include one or two, but at most three of the directives in each question.
Some of these seem almost silly, and things the medical community has already established (so no need for a directive). LIke #62 - that is the law. #63 - Any hospital receiving federal money is mandated by law to offer the option of organ donation to families. # 64 - That is the law, on both counts. # 65 That is standard practice at all hospitals. # 66 - Abortions generally happen at clinics, and they don't have tissue banks or sell to tissue banks. No transplant center would use tissue from an aborted fetus because it simply is not an option. It would be like the directives saying: No circus clown may perform open heart surgery with their elephants in the room.
