God's Word as a means to discern God's character and will. Lying is generally wrong , but right when it achieves good results. Truth-telling is an absolute moral law, and there are no exceptions. We should lie to save the life, then ask for forgiveness. Lying is normally wrong, but sometimes right.
Some laws are higher than others.
When there is an unavoidable conflict, we must follow the higher law. Mercy to the innocent is a higher value than truth-telling. No reason to ask forgiveness, because lying was the right thing to do. There are many absolute laws, and they never conflict. Any apparent conflict is not a real conflict.
