It is foolish to expect unregenerate humans to act with integrity. Integrity is one of God`s traits.  Only those who admire God will demonstrate his traits.  So, when you hear a person Lie , understand you are dealing with a Liar .  
<p>
Lying is what a Liar does.  Stop expecting a Liar to speak the truth.  Truth to a Liar is anything they say.
<p>
When you reject the Truth the only thing left is a Lie .
<p>
God`s Word is Truth .  To justify yourself when you are in conflict with God`s Word you must accept a Lie .  Once you accept one Lie , the rest are easy.
<p>
Don`t stress yourself over Lies coming from Liars .  It`s what they do.
<p>
The following scriptures give insight into God`s perspective toward Lying .

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all <b> Liars </b>, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second Death .

<br>
 3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
<br>
 4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
<br>
 5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
<br>
 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD , a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:

20190104 - How Lying Be Perceived as Moral
<dir>
When a person loses their integrity they lie to further their goals which may be money, prestige or control. Integrity comes from respecting a higher authority for their morality. Anyone who has rejected the God of the Bible has no higher authority for their morality than themselves. So, lying in their best interest is actually the moral thing to do.
