I would say ';deliberately providing false information with the intent to deceive';.





There is a difference between stupidity and dishonesty.

You describe active lying by commission, which shouldn't include inadvertent errors, but many times people more passively lie by omission, too. Identifying deliberate intent to deceive places guilt on someone, which can be useful in a just society, but trying to identify a true mistake as intentional is merely an attempt to shame someone.
I've always felt like lying is purposefully providing information that you know to be untrue, or that you don't know is true. Though it isn't techinically lying, I do still believe it is wrong to withhold the truth, distort the truths or to only give half truths. It is only right to give ';the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.'; Gov. did pretty good in covering all the bases there.
Lying has to be intentional. Saying something false just because you don't know the truth of the matter isn't lying. I mean, consider that Isaac Newton said that acceleration is equal to net force divided by mass; Einstein later showed that that wasn't the case, so does that mean Newton's statement was a lie? No, of course not.
Yes. The commandment is





Exd 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.


Exd 23:1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.


Deu 5:20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.





Basically don't lie on people.
The former.





'Inadvertently expressing an untruth' is the same as 'being mistaken'.





In order to tell a lie you have to be aware that it's a lie.
i think the first is more accurate





the second one has the word 'inadvertently' to me that means something like accidentally...if it's truly an accidental expression then i don't think that's lying






Depends on who you ask. I would say lying is the former, saying something that is not so. If you 'forget' to tell them, it's not lying.
depending I mean if they ask you to say the whole truth and nothing but the truth than you told only part of it than it's a lie. But as your saying I'd say yes.
I think it's just deliberately providing false information because people choose to lie it's not like they are forced to.
I think it has to be intentional. Inadvertently expressing an untruth just makes you full of crap.
Both. (The first one is for one's 'motives', and the second one actually ';Believes'; in their lies and is ignorant about real Truth.)
To ';lie'; must involve intent, otherwise it's just ignorance. Thanks for asking.
It is Either





A. All of the Above


B. None of the Above


C. Or Some of the above
I think a lie is a lie whether one planned to lie or not.
Nope, some people lie just cause they get a kick out of it.
The people that have lied to me do it to deceive. I hate liars.
Lying is not telling the truth.
It's more like, acting.
I like to think of it as ENHANCING the TRUTH!!!
yes
both
Both are lies.





If you're talking about what will God judge, God judges the heart(motivations).
