When younger, we couldn't use the word lie. We had say “story” instead. You're telling a lie became You telling a story. You are saying something that didn't exist or happen, something you made up, fabricated, that is false, untrue, a fiction of your imagination and desire to make yourself look good and feel good.
A story is a sturkh is a stork, a carrier of truth reborn in a different form.
A lie is a story for this reason and the reasons we meant when we were kids.
Because the Creator, whom we tend to call God, creates things that didn't exist, makes things up, fabricates, the Creator is a storyteller also. These stories we treat and accept as true and truths.
Because the complementary apposite other side of the Creator is the Destroyer, whom we tend to call Devil, creates things that didn't exist or happen, makes things up, fabricates, the Destroyer is a storyteller also. These stories we treat and reject as untrue and lies.
All stories are made up out of nothing nun things and something sum things. A liar does so due to the health condition of their motherboard, hardware and logic (software, programs, applications, apps, education). In other words, an unhealthy person, can't help but lie because a lie agrees with their sickness (es), mainly identity crisis based.
The Devil is a lie when the Destroyer Principle creates and sustains sickness.The Devil is a truth when the Destroyer Principle destroys and dismantles that which runs counter to harmony.
To the sick, the Devil is their God, that they call God by whatever name. You can tell by their bibles, thinking, behavior, culture, societies, governments, laws, institutions.
Their God is the God of the healthy whom they, the liars, have corrupted in their representations. This is why there is no hope to get liars to admit or accept truth. They themselves are a lie and the truth ain't in them.
The healthy need their Devil, the Devil of Truth to help fight against the Devil of Lies. In other words, Gods and Devils must check self and correct self and correct each other before any of this can happen among humans. Galaxy, Solar System and Earth are checking and correcting. Unhealthy humans always function on a delayed reaction as the last to react to facts among all creations.
By the time humans who know better but don't do better get around to making overdue corrections, the re-possessors are in full swing changing the climate of things.
