I have been in agreement that lying/deception has a contextual aspect to it.
Right, like murder. In the OT, the Israelites are told not to murder (kill anyone they please), but yet, God tells them to kill His enemies. I believe that deception was a part of the art of war, to save life, or to accomplish a righteous purpose or plan. Lying or deception becomes wrong when it involves sin or to further a person's own selfish motivations or desires and or to fit in with a worldy culture or custom.
