It is rather disheartening to see Joseph Fletcher's humanistic philosophy so ingrained within the minds of Christian men and women. As you must know, he railed against moral absolutes and made popular what is known as "Situation Ethics". One of his favorite ploys he used against Christian/biblical ethics was this theoretical question: "What would you do, as a Christian, if you were living in Nazi Germany and the Gestapo were going door-to-door killing young children by order of the Fuhrer? Your daughter is hiding in the closet when these soldiers stormed your house and demanded to know if you were hiding your daughter. Would you tell them, 'Yes! she is in the closet.' or would lie and tell them, 'No!'? According to Fletcher, true "love" would dictate that you lie and thus spare the life of your child. For Fletcher, his self-defined "love" is the basis for all morality and ethics.

With many thanks to King James the Reformed answer has been hidden in obscurity! Ex 1:19 the midwives answer to Pharoh. The comment in the Geneva Bible was that their action was lawful, but their dissembling evil.
