Um. Yes. Yes it does. It says he deceives people.
Like, I'm not even knocking you rn. I'm confused. That's what it reads
One can deceive and not be lying, the military uses it for a strategy all the time. The level and purpose of deceit is what would determine if deceiving were lying. God actually gave the false prophets a deceived mind so that their prophecies would not be true, so that they could never claim they were right in their prophecies. The false prophets were deceiving the people, they were wanting the glory and God put a stop to it and they eventually became the fools.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
