What is a lie?

Some friends recently asked me ``What does the Bible say about lying?" A quick survey of the whole Bible showed how the issue of lies and lying goes far beyond "telling fibs".

Furthermore, I feel that hypothetical questions such as "If a Nazi soldier came to your door and asked if you were hiding Jews in your basement, would you lie?" derail the discussion.

Lies are in contrast to truth and faithfulness, qualities that are integral to the character of God and Jesus. Here are my notes.
