I'm saying it is a work of the flesh that is instigated by the tempter. I give the enemy his due for being the persistent one that he is.

This is why I said that

I was being .....something...but I don't know the word....not sarcastic ...maybe facetious. Chromosomes dictate our physical makeup. God gives us our spiritual makeup.

Right.

Condition, situation and gaining more things/power are most normal factors for telling lies. Sometimes to save ourselves denial reaction is utilized. We are not fundamentally bad or hundred percent good but to prove innocent we take shelter of lies or fake. So that is why people lie–to save ourselves from any harmful situation to us.
