No, it does not, as I said in post 54. It’s a question of opinion, and opinions are not qualifiable as “lying.” Only if the lady in question said, “Do you think I’m fat?” and you said, “No,” when you really thought she was, would it be a “lie,” that is, a false statement of your opinion at the time.

At that point, you’d be an absolutely hideous person, but you wouldn’t have lied, so you could say, “I thank you, God, that I am not like other people, and especially those who are kind to others and don’t tell them they’re fat, like that guy over there who told his wife he thought she was adorable ...”

The lengths Roman Catholics go to avoid a "mortal sin".

The reality though of the NT is that all sin separates us from God....apart from the forgiveness of Christ.
