Lieing to them won't help them to God

No. Some fundamentalist sects will tell you that if your aim is to get a person into Christianity, it is okay to lie to them. But they are wrong.
Because without fail, the lie is discovered, and since those lies based the foundation of their faith, their faith will disintegrate along with the lie. Therefore, though less people may be brought to the ideas through truth alone and it will take longer, since their faith will be less corruptible, it is well worth the effort of maintaining truthfullness at all times. Remember the 8th commandment (False witness). Remember that no exceptions were provided.

To thine own self be true. Ther is no part of you that needs to lie. It is difficult to stand in the truth. God does not need or want you to lie. You only become a man-ipulating punk looking to **** off karma. It is harder to stand in The Truth and not be liked and still be loved than it is to lie and cheat yourself and others of The Truth and think you are liked by yourself and others. Personal responsiblity to you and God. Cuz guess what; God is you! Can't fool God.

NO. Hontesy is ALWAYS the way to go, especially in matters involving religion. Once one is able to lie about one thing, it becomes more easy to lie about otheres and soon, truth is only a long rememberd idea of the past.

It is never alright to lie. And Father God said so.

There have been cases in the Bible where a lie was acceptable. Such as when Rahab lied about seeing spies when she was hiding them in her room and when Sarah laughed at the thought of Abraham having children at his old age... she lied and said she didnt laugh, so he didnt get his feelings hurt. There are acceptions to the rules quite often. Lies of deception are the ones to worry about.

in the view of the law of God it is never okay. In the matter of the heart and motive of the lie it still remainds a sin but all things are taken into account

Generally and Categorically No.
White lies are a thing we use when we haven't prayerfully asked Gods help or Wisdom in a situation or when we are to proud to say "I don't know"
Sin is part of our nature - and God wants us to do everything we can to cut that out -why stop at lies?
