I don’t think the ultimate conclusion of your reasoning is sensible.
Truth and lies are opposites.
Lying is wrong. If I had to lie about hiding Anne Frank, I would repent and ask forgiveness from God. Loving the truth will bring a person to repentance. If a person loves the truth, God knows it.
But you would do it, knowing it is against God? And you'd feel you needed His forgiveness afterward?
