Is lying ever ok? http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2011/may/7-levelslying.html?start=2
 * Some would say that all the examples of lying in the OT are half-obedience. They say we should find creative ways of telling the truth or just trust in God like crazy.

Mech
 * Possibly everyone lies Rom 3:10-13 (which seems to extend a few Psalms to state that everyone lies). Also Jer 17:9
 * Satan is the father of lies John 8:44)

Examples of lies that are possibly permissible
 * Ten-Booms, trained to tell lies to Germanys about hiding Jews.
 * Based on research I think this is a created memory, but - Ten-Boom story, one sister tells the truth, they all get imprisoned, and then an earthquake happens and they escape?
 * Rahab
 * David taking refuge with the Philistines, raiding their towns
