Abraham's lies caused, or almost caused, others to sin.
So then you would say that lying to save other's lives is different than lying to save your own?

I would say that lying for any reason we can dream up is wrong.

I would say that in the case of "God sanctioned" lying in the Bible, that the Lord impressed upon the liar to say what they said. No, it is not written that He did, but that is the only way I can see to justify it.
