Sometimes we tell just enough truth to get by (a half-truth) and, because we didn't tell a bald face lie, we think we are okay. But God judges and knows the intent of our heart. If it is our intent to mislead, then we are held accountable for the sin of lying. A "half-truth" is a "half-lie" come to think of it.
Now... just what is a "bald face Lie", anyway?

Uhh.....it's actually 'bold-faced lie'. I have no idea what a 'bald-faced lie' is, nor have I ever heard of such.
As for misleading and deceiving, what if it's not malicious? For instance, you are planning a surprise birthday party for your mother and she suspects you are up to something. She asks you if you are planning a party for her.
What do you say???
