What’s the difference between “ misinformation “ and “lie”? The only thing I can think is if you misinform people you’re going congress, if you lie you’re going to hell.

Misinformation might mean you're spreading information you don't know isn't true.

Lying is deliberate.

What's this "hell" thing? You must have taken a wrong turn, @Garban.

Misinformation is a form of lie where one claims they don't know for sure if it's true or not,... While when lying one knows for certain they're not being truthful.

Well, IMO a lie is when you deliberately don't tell the truth. If you pass wrong information but without having the intention of deceiving it's misinformation. Of course that is from an idealistic point of view. Sometimes it's not so clear.

Misinformation could just be misunderstanding of what you are told. A lie is done on purpose to benefit the liar.

Intention ?
