"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Ex. 20:16).
Laziness and cowardice are at the bottom of a great deal of this
“polite lying.” It comes so easy for even Christians themselves to follow the universal custom of saying things to please people, and lightly to make promises that they do not expect ever to perform. Who has not heard people seek to justify themselves for some false statement made to some unsuspecting individual, by saying, “Oh, I was only in fun”?
Satan, who is a liar and the father of it, is also called “the accuser of our brethren” (Rev. 12:10). He accuses them before God day and night."
