Agree but believing a lie is still unbelief in relationship to God's Word of truth. I appreciate your take on this. Job said that which he feared has come upon him and that of which he was afraid has come unto him. A result of believing a lie. Unbelief. Since truth produces faith (pistis) believing, I don't ascribe believing as a result of a lie. It would have to produce the opposite. Not to get too researchy but the word believe in the verse 2 these 2:11 is from the Greek word Pisteuo. It means to entrust. In This case to entrust a lie. That lie being in opposition to truth would necessarily have to produce unbelief in the person who entrust it.
