By Disguise
Every so often in scripture there is a story about a man or woman of god that does something which seems a contradiction. Abraham and Sarah lying about their relationship comes to mind. It seems that even god recognizes occasions where a little deception may be protective. This by no means gives us free reign to bear false witness, but I find it fascinating. I was thinking on this after reading about Abinadi going back before Noah and his priests with a disguise so they couldn't recognize him. It's not that a disguise is necessarily a bad thing, but it does seem deceptive which is generally not the Lord's way of operating.
