I am selling my house and currently have it listed with an agent. However, I just discovered that he lowered the list price with out asking me. We had a set price in our contract, so I know what he did was wrong. The catch here is that he just brought me an offer tonight. I have caught him in several lies and would like to sell this house without him. But, can I legally sell it to the people who have made an offer if I get released from my contract with my agent?

hes supposed to get your permission and signature to lower the price.i would go to the broker where he works and call your states real estate licensing board and ask them and tell them what he did.thats illegal and he broke the contract you had with him by doing that.

You need to read your contract, I don't know what state you are in. I am a real estate agent in Texas. My contracts usually say that once an offer is brought to the seller then the contract can't be voided. The agent or broker can actually sue the seller if they cancel the contract and sell to the prospective buyer.
Does the buyer have a real estate agent? If they do, the real estate agent usually won't go around the other agent to do the sell.
Just read your contract very carefully. You should have also signed something lowering the listing price.

you cannot sell the house to anyone the agent has brought to you without paying the agent their commission. If you try to do so you can be sued. If the offer is a good one, take it and go through with the sale, then make a complaint in writing to the agent's broker about the unprofessional behavior.

You should discuss this issue with the agent's broker. You are bound by the agreement if you sell your home to anyone that the agent brought to the table for up to 6 months after the listing agreement expires. If your agent is behaving unethically, the broker can and will replace him.

When you list your property for sale, you enter into a contractual agreement with your agent for a specified amount of time. If your property doesn't sell within that amount of time, you may re-list the property with the same Realtor, or switch to another of your choice.
