Is Satan shown lying in the bible?

[Tonus]

They say Satan is the father of lies. They say he's come to steal, kill, and destroy. Is he shown actually doing much of anything in the bible, though.

The accusation does seem overblown, in that Satan says some things that are true and some that are not. Genesis 3:4,5 reads “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” The first part was untrue, as Eve does eventually die. The second part is correct, though, as god himself admits in Gen 3:22.

Satan boasts to god that if he is given the chance to test Job he will curse god, and this proves wrong. Since he words it as a certainty, he could be accused of lying.

When Satan tempts Jesus in the desert, Jesus does not claim that Satan is lying, and seems to accept that what Satan says could happen. His point is that it would be wrong to do so. That particular part of the Bible is a bit confusing; why would Satan ask Jesus to prove his godhood (by jumping from a dangerous height) when it's clear that he knew who Jesus was? Why offer Jesus the kingdoms of the world, when he knew that he was talking to the builder of the universe itself? Satan had, after all, seen heaven and stood before the splendor of god. To make such paltry offers was a waste of time.

You wonder if the writer of Matthew thought about this at all, or if he figured that his source material was so entertaining that it was too good to leave out, even if it didn't make any sense. It's like someone walking into your house and offering to sell you your own appliances at a discount.
