Is that the same thing as God lying?
If I hire you to kill someone: Would I be guilty of killing him?

I believe that the Book was given as a standard...so that we would know who the real God is.
Why do you believe this? I'm sure you didn't get the idea from the book itself. In the book, God is known by his power.

You will know that I am the LORD when I have set fire to Egypt. Ezekiel 30:8 RSV

In this world, there are competing spirits. Obviously, the Holy Spirit is ... the only one with any real power. How do you tell Him apart from the other ones?
Haven't you have already answered the question? You tell him apart from the other ones by his power.
Didn't Saint Peter admonish believers to ... test the spirits?
