Cheating

Actually, no. Though it'd be fun.

I'm curious about this: does it say anything specifically about cheating being immoral in the Bible? Recently, I've thought back to all the days I'd play Halo2 -used to play- and I couldn't help but think about how often people would cheat in it. Most commonly wallhacks. I've been thinking of getting such a mod for Garry'smod, since it's a sandbox game(no competition: just fooling around), but as for actual competitive games, especially ones that aren't simulated on a machine... well, come to think of it, I'm actually unsure about it. I'm definitely not going to be getting any texture-hacks for Counterstrike any time soon, but I'm still curious about this.

Does anyone have any quotations from the Bible about this, or insight?

Well cheating is a deception - you're trying to gain something falsely, and often it will hurt others. It's a lie, and can be a form of stealing. I think even most non-Christians know that this is wrong, so it's not even necessary to have it spelled out in the bible. However, there are verses in the bible about false scales, Proverbs 11:1 and Leviticus 19:35-36 - that's cheating and stealing.
