How can you know if the person to whom you lied knows that you lied to her?<\/p>\n\t
You are asking the wrong question. You are worried about whether you were caught in a lie. What you really should be concerned about is that liars end up in Hell. “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and\u00a0all liars<\/strong>, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death<\/em>” (Revelations 21:8).
