Bearing false witness. Oddly, Christianity seems to be a magnet for liars. Creating false evidence and false history appears to be a sanctioned activity. You'll find people here on Yahoo adamantly naming disreputable and refuted sources as proof.
Example:
The excerpt from Flavius Josephus ~ Jewish historian's Antiquities
The Shroud of Turin
The Ossuary of James, the brother of Jesus
Walls Of Jericho
Sodom and Gomorrah found in the Dead Sea
Land bridge found under the Red Sea

Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness(lie) against thy neighbor. This is in the ten commandments. Talking about lying. So this a command not to lie.

Yes it does, Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness. In my book false witness means lying. So there is a commandment saying not to lie. It's just worded differently.

Yes it dose say in the ten commandments not to lie in Exodus 20:16 says "You shelt not bear false witness." or "You should not lie." You mite reread that pasige of the Bible.
May God bess you.

Bearing a false witness IS lying. False means not true; hence a lie.

Actually there is, the ninth commandment. Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Better read it again and then look at what it means. You shall not bear false witness. What do you think that is? A lie is a falsehood that is not true, false witness.

The ninth commandment states: "You must not testify falsely as a witness against your fellow man."

I think it's kind of implied, though, by the commandments that talk about honoring your parents, loving thy neighbor, etc...I mean, if you respect someone in theory you would not lie to them.
