What is the difference between using the statement: "that is a LIE", and using the statement: "that is NOT TRUE"?

It depends on how you define the words "lie" and "truth".

I prefer to say that something is or is not true.

To say that something is a lie...the person saying it may take offense thinking that you are calling him or her a liar.

Whether a person is a liar or not, if they say something that is not true, they can just as easily change it so that what they said is true and the person's credibility and integrity usually never comes into question. This focuses on what is being said and not so much on the person who is saying it.
