No but actually read the Bible verses.
> The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
> “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Did Adam and Eve die directly from eating the fruit itself or did they learn the knowledge of good and evil? The serpent literally told the truth in that passage and it was God who lied. You'd have to make a huge stretch to say "well what God meant is that he would doom Adam and Eve by giving them a shorter life span after eating the apple as a punishment" which would be a stretch and not accurate to the original text.
The serpent was punished not for lying but for tempting Eve by telling her the truth of the fruit, which God had withheld to prevent them from consuming it.
Its like you tell your kids not to go into your room where your guns are not because there are things in there that could injure them but because a monster will eat them. And I tell them "a monster won't eat you, that's just where your dad puts his guns". How would I be the liar in that situation??
