Strangely enough, they are not sinful in Satanism or the USA. They are the stock-in-trade of ___________ [[fill in the blank.)

"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" [[Exodus 20:16) is the ninth commandment.

Ironically, Scripture says that a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers, are abominations to the Lord. It’s ironic because much of Scripture itself is fake news.

The Torah contains a number of prohibitions against false witness, lying, spreading false reports, etc. If testimony were proven, the false witness was to receive the punishment he had intended to bring on the person falsely accused. For example, since murder was a capital crime, giving false testimony in a murder case was subject to the death penalty. Those eager to receive or listen to false testimony were also subject to punishment.

The lying witness is a deceitful man who mocks at justice. He is like a war club, or a sword, or a sharp arrow. Solomon says a false witness will perish, if he does not repent.

False testimony is among the things that defile a person, Jesus says.
