Yes, He literally cannot lie in any way. He is the Truth. It's against His very nature and character to lie. it's a logical contradiction and blasphemy to say otherwise.
"...in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began..." (Titus 1:2)

I didn't say being hard to understand is what makes the liar. I said representing oneself as an ontological being when the appearances and forms have no bearing whatsoever on the ontological reality is what constitutes a lie.
The part about not understanding the symbols of one's appearance, which I never denied the elements of Ezekiel visions being symbolic as well as ontologically real, is to show that the intention of God appearing to Ezekiel cannot be to only symbolize some ephemeral and abstract thing about Himself, since the symbolic meaning are never explained or referred to by anybody in Scriptures, not even Ezekiel, the Lord, or the Spirit of God that carries Ezekiel away, and the ancient Hebraic audience would not have taken Ezekiel's vision to be merely symbolic.
I gave suggestions to Branman what some of the elements of that vision could symbolize, but that does not mean that the sole purpose of the ophanim is to symbolize God's attributes nor that what I said to Branman is what the ophanim actually symbolizes, if they do symbolize anything. It was an educated conjecture.
