if you declared that everyone is a liar, then you would therefore be a liar, which would mean that your statement is false.

Are you telling the truth when you said EVERY single person is either a liar or deceived? Or are you telling us a lie that you are speaking the truth? Which is which?
Actually, the truth is, you have asked a self-refuting question because the premises contains its own denial of the conclusion. The most brilliant thing to do is not to try to prove your statement wrong, but to step back and ask you to ask a more logical question.

My first reaction is to ask you if you are single. If so, then by your own statement, you are either a liar or a deceiver.
I do not know everyone who is single, but I would not doubt the statement that every person (single or not) has made an untrue statement at some time in their lives. And I am confident that every one has deceived others at some time (although maybe not on purpose).
But please try to consider these to thoughts:
1. We are to hate the sin, but love the sinner. Just because a person is not always truthful does not mean we should not love them.
2. God is willing to accept us as we are, so shouldn't we accept others as they are?

Both of those words indicate subjective emotions so either could be true or false. Although I do not consider myself a liar, some would say that I am deceived. And if I said that someone else was deceived, I could be a liar. You are correct. That statement can not be proven false but it can also not be proven true.

Well, it's both logically and casually possible that there can be a man that is not a liar, no natural laws are violated nor does it contradict anything, so yes it is possible.

Well, I only lied once in my life and that was about stealing candy - so I'm rarely a liar.
And I'm not aware of anyone deceiving me, nor does anyone have a need to lie to me about anything.
So - neither is true pertaining to me.

Of course you are correct for the present times population!
In the ancient times, one person was an excption, i.e. Jesus the son of man, in whom resided part of the Spirit of The Almighty.
That's how He was the only exception.

To some degree yes . No one has perfect wisdom, but I'm not sure that decieved or a liar is correct.

you are actually 100% right. BUT if we go to God and ask for forgiveness and repent, he will forgive us of our sins and the fact that we are a liar or anything else will not matter to him.

this is a paradox, if that statement is true, then you yourself are either lying or are deceived, in both cases, invalidating your statement.
