The other one is an article written by Quinn, largely in response to BKP's talk:

(my previous link was broken so I googled this one - if anyone knows of a better-formatted version, let me know)

If you haven't read these articles, I highly recommend you check them out.
I've read Packer's before and don't remember him advocating lying for the Lord, so just for kicks I opened up the PDF and searched for "lying" and "lie." No hits. Care to point out the offending passages?
