So when someone says something that is outright not true, we call that a lie. When someone does exactly this in a situation like the OP, it is called deception, even though the action itself is identical to lying?
I'm not out of sorts on this, you keep insisting that a lie is a lie as the Pharisees would have. They would not consider the situation and it seemed you would not either, I know you do not believe in God, but the scriptures are not as dogmatic as you make them, remember we believe in an omniscient God who is love. The high horse and nick name was to pick some fun, it was not serious.
I'm unwilling to consider the situation? I'm enquiring about the nature of a lie, but it seems like you're unable to answer and instead have to resort to saying I'm like the Pharisees for the second time. If I'm wrong, then justify why I'm wrong i.e. answer my query.
