well If your boyfriend finds you in bed doing a doggy with his best friend and he ask you :are you cheating on me?
And you deny it then some people will think that your denial is a lie.
Who dare they

If you deny something you have done...that perhaps you should not have done... and in hindsight it was not the correct thing, or did not produce that expected result..
only you know if you are lying about it..
but denying is not always lying... Its often a mechanism used to protect another... sometimes its better to not know..

I take it either you, or someone you know, tried to get away with a fake version of reality, and used "denying isn't the same as lying" to try to escape responsibility?
Anything you do with the intention that someone accept as true, something that is not, is deceptive (the same applies for the intention that someone accept as false, something that is true, of course).
Unless you are a performance artist of some kind, and the person you are deceiving expects it as part of the show, then whether you call it lying, dissembling, denying something is true that IS actually true,obfuscating, creative imagining for personal gain, or "telling the REAL truth as I wish it was," (I actually had someone explain why I should LOVE them for their lies, with THAT claptrap), then you might as well call it lying.
It isn't what you CALL it that's important; it's what your intentions are, what you do with it that matters.

In response to: is it?
The def I found says that Denying is a characteristic of lying but the two aren't the same.Lying is the deliberate act of deviating from the truth.

I agree... can't be stated any better than that
