Joel:
The way I see it, God is the Truth.
The Devil is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
If God ever lied it would go against other things that we are told in the scriptures about The One and Holy God.
Is God like the devil, or man?
Does he make promises and oaths and not honor his own Word? I don't think so.
Where is there any evidence that God has lied?

Joel

I believe the correct translation is 'that God does not lie'.

The truth of God declared in Scripture shows the chief element of the nature of God and verifies the consistency of His perfect nature and being that we can fully trust.

Deu 32:4  He is the Rock, His work is perfect;
       For all His ways are justice,
       A God of truth and without injustice;
       Righteous and upright is He.

Psa 146:6  Who made heaven and earth,
       The sea, and all that is in them;
       Who keeps truth forever,

Psa 89:14  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
       Mercy and truth go before Your face.

Psa 25:10  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,
       To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

John 17:17  Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

John 14:6  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

James 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
v. 18  Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

John 1:14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

1John 5:6  This is He who came by water (baptism) and blood (sacrifice)--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. (words in parentheses are my addition)

The term “truth” is the equivalent to the will and nature of God as can be expressed. In Scripture the expressed will of God is the very standard in truth that we can have assurance in and it is essential that we believe this basic and fundamental knowledge of who/what He is, Truth.

mercy, peace and love

Folks,
I once heard an answer to the riddle, " what would happen if an immovable object was struck by an irresistible force"

The logical answer was "that by simple definition the two things cannot coexist."

You may imagine that there is the one, but then there cannot be the other.

George is right.  It is not that He cannot lie, but that He does not lie.

God is sovereign.  If He wanted to lie, who is going to stop Him?

The Scriptures tell us God created evil, all evil.  God created Satan, who is the father of the lie.

That makes God responsible for lies and all other evil.

It takes a mature spiritual mind to understand the above.  Such understanding can only come from God.
