Interesting question Gabbix2. So, what you are asking is if God said to do something that was ordinarily wrong, would I say it was good? I can't imagine what it might be, but there are examples of that happening in scripture. Even then, God didn't say it was good, He just said it was necessary. "It is better that one man perish than a whole nation dwindle in unbelief"
http://scriptures.lds.org/query?words=dwindle&search.x=18&search.y=9 (first reference)As far as stealing from the elderly----God cannot lie, nor can He deceive. He has commanded us not to steal. He wouldn't ask us to steal from the elderly.
Btw, do you know the real reason the 10 commandments aren't allowed to be displayed in the halls of law and order? You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou shalt not commit Adultery" and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment.
