A lie is the deliberate fabrication or misrepresentation of the truth.
Lie by Omission
A lie by omission is a statement in which everything that is said may be factually true, but that is still deceptive because material information is omitted.[1]
Lying in Religion
Lying is prohibited by God in the Ten Commandments; Revelation 21:8 states that all liars will go to hell. Satan is described in many religions as the Father of Lies.
