To me, this seems clear,but let's see if others can confirm it.For a while now, I'm dealing with a type of customer who agrees to something, then goes back on their word.Like, if a new person calls me, and I'm filled up with customers,I tell them I can do this one time thing, but I don't have time to take on a steady customer. They agree,but then once they "get their foot in the door",they'll save my number and keep calling me for other things..I tell them because I'm overbooked {and just one person}I'll take them, but don't tell the everybody you know about me. They agree to that, then proceed to "advertise " me to one and all.If I'm tight for time, I say I can take them home from work, but I don't have time for them to make stops. They agree, then when they get in the car, here it comes,"oh, I just have 2 quick stops".I can think of other examples of this going back on their agreements, but...would that be sin on their part? I would say the sin would be lying, and also selfishness, because they're only thinking of what they want, and not caring if they inconvenience me. But also, Jesus said,"Let your yes mean yes, and your no, no."He didn't say, let your yes mean yes until it's no longer convenient to you,then change it to no."So if they're disobeying that rule of Jesus, to keep your word, wouldn't that be sin?Oh, the other lie,if they know I'm tight for time,they'll say,"I'll go in the store, but if there's a line, I'll just come out."But they don't.They apparently wait on line and come out a good time later,making me late for my next appointment.So I, personally, think there's enough proof that it's sinful, wouldn't you say?
