A lie is any statement with the intention to deceive.
It is the intention of deception that makes a statement a lie, not the validity of the statement.

What a big load of bull ****.

Not to mention off topic and mere flame bait.

It's truly amazing. Not so long ago, atheists were mocking those they took to be Christians for taking Genesis literally, now they have to do the very same to get any sort of appearance of success.

OK, I agree with you.
Instead of lie I should have used unthruts or something like that or simply contradictions.

And how about when priests talk about god creating earth and they only talk of the first version of it and FORGET to mention that there is another one comp,itely different.
What coul we call that?

one wonders if your chosen deity is as fond of dishonesty as your two posts in this thread have shown you to be.

How do you know that the priest in question even knows about the other one?

i'm not so sure intent is the point though.
the term, "looks can be deceiving" doesn't mean the deception was intentional.
if one were to look to the bible for answers one would also need to take it with a truck load of salt.

'how about when priests talk'

There are no priests in Christianity. "Call no man Father."
