Assuming P is false then yes whatever else you did you also lied.

does P have to actually be false? I've supposed that you believe it to be false.

Wow, cool, I had no idea this was controversial, thought it’s obvious that you only needed to believe the relevant proposition.

If I believe P but want someone who persistently disbelieves me to believe not-P, so tell him P, is that a lie? Feels like a lie to me.
