When trying to corroborate things purportedly from divine sources, I keep realizing I need some framework to model and describe abstract dynamic systems...
In a sense that is all that we are, because our cultural facts don't matter as much to them.
In another sense, we must be gods to understand how gods think.

Let's say we want to explain why it is hard to "lie" in spirit.
Deception requires a held true belief and a communicated false belief. But while it is superficially possible to "lie" in the physical world because the materials don't respond much to the conflicting thoughts, the conflicting thoughts seem to cause a problem in spirit because what is believed is what is real and is what is radiated.
In the animal world there is a physical reality and a layer of symbols (eg. words, or other communication methods like vision or sounds) that purport to reflect the reality but not physically required to be accurate. However at the higher/refined states it seems that it is hard to get there while carrying a bunch of contradicting baggage, and thus it seems difficult ( i wouldn't say impossible ) for things to carry a layer of deception that contradicts what the entity actually represents.
Information is definitely withheld though. Which is why even in urban legends, the devil does not lie, it simply withholds information.
