People constantly ask God questions, he knows the answer, but doesn't respond. Is this a lie of omission?

God cannot lie. Titus 1:
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
God answers but the answer may not seen or understood.
What God wills happens as He wills it and God does not figure time as we do.
Have you read 2Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
God may answer very quickly but we cannot see the answer "in progress".

God has three answers: Yes, No, and Maybe.
God has three answers: Yes, No, and Not Yet.
God has three answers: Yes, No, and If you insist.
God has three answers: Yes, No, and I have a better idea.
God has three answers: Yes, No, and When you are ready.
God has three answers: Yes, No, and You’ve got to be kidding.

We may not like the answer God gives and how it is answered but it is answered.

The concept of a "lie of omission" or "lie of remission" is faulty. A person is not made a liar by saying nothing, for silence can mean many things. And who is above God to demand from him an answer?

Simple questions require long hard answers sometimes, like "Why do we die?"
If you knew every single law of physics that existed and your 6 year old asked "Why do waves happen in the ocean." you'd pretty much have to keep it short (omissive) or the kids eyes would glaze over after a few mins.
If Gods mind were the size of the sun your brain would be microbe sized so yea they leave stuff out.
Blessed Be!

No, does not answer a question isnt a lie. The God had never officially announced that who ever asks him/her/it question must get answer. What ever THAT MEN said was said by a men. Beside, the God never swon on the bible, which have been written and serverly modified by subjective human.

God is "truth" whereas those who pray in vain are guilty of sin. - Who knows what's best, you or God? Remember, what is asked for would have farther reprocussions than just to fulfill a wish. Answered prayers change one life but would also effect many other people eventually.

It's not that God isn't answering. He answers all questions. Sometimes it just takes a while but he does. People just choose not to listen.

No, because in order to be guilty of perjury, God would have to be under oath, and God has never sworn on the Bible.
Which he wrote.
